I’m a Black American, and Cantor’s tweet doesn’t offend me. I think he meant the ACA should be called what he thinks/says it is—the ‘largest tax increase on the middle class in American history,’ although it’s not. That he deleted the tweet himself says that he knew he used the wrong word (spade) to make his point. This also informs me that he is sensitive about not coming off as being a racist. The only thing I want Cantor and the other republicans in Congress to do in regard to the ACA is to tell the truth, but I’m not holding my breath.
