Sorry, but I don’t see it. If he had made them white rather than black, could not the same charge be leveled just as well? If green, then charge that the color is meant to suggest those states were bought. If yellow—-you see the pattern.

The problem isn’t that it’s a dog whistle. The problem is that it’s just so defiantly stupid. This is in the league of Hitler in his bunker, moving imaginary armies around to come to the relief of Berlin. Deluded and trawling for followers to share the koolaid.

I see your point, but the the venom shown by Chambers towards Barack Obama, coupled with the volume of slurs from the far-right directed at him as a black man leads me to conclude it is a ‘wink and a nod’ to racists.
