I’d like to see the context of that comment before I call Carl Rowan an idiot. If you behave like a racist when you feel like it and function as a semi-liberal in between, it would make you a racist, not a semi-liberal.

Or a racist semi-liberal. Racism isn’t mutually exclusive from other ideologies. There are racist conservatives, there are racist Christians, there are racist environmentalists, and racist progressives. It is only through acknowledging one’s internal fears of others that a person can overcome them.

Cohen’s exposing himself as a racist is the first step to acknowledging it. Eventually he’ll figure out that it isn’t right, or he’ll get drafted by the Miami Dolphins.
