re: #298 engineer dog

a lot of the wingers like this herman cain guy. i think it shows that a large number of wingnuts are not racist at all, merely ignorant and deluded

the people like this need to nominate somebody like cain so that they can finally be made to see how many actual scabby racists they are tolerating in their party while managing to live in denial of it the whole time…

That, I guess, is the brazillion-dollar question. How much of the racism would be swept back under the rug if a black Republican ran, and how much would remain? How much would blossom among Democrats?

American racism is sort of like having mold in your basement. It’s disgusting and bad for your national health, but it’s also sort of fascinating in a really creepy way.
