It is.

Sadly, it reminds me of my wingnut cousin from WV, who told me thought electing Obama - much as he hated that it happened - would at least take race off the table.

It’s amazing the diametric opposition of what wingnuts thought the meaning of Obama’s election should be to black people, and what it actually meant to them.

Black people: “Maybe now they’ll listen to us about what it’s like being black in America!”

Wingnuts (and a lot of non-wingnuts, sadly): “Maybe now they’ll shut up!”
