I find it interesting that virtually any time a conservative public figure says anything that could remotely be considered as being even the slightest bit racist, that there is a feeding frenzy of folks who come out of the woodwork and pounce. Even more interesting is how many of those folks are white liberals.
Yet somehow, when Hilary and DiBlasio pull out a scripted and planned racist joke at a campaign stop, the silence from those easily offended white liberals is deafening.
Shoot, let any of the conservative bloggers where Dan lurks say anything that he percieves as even slightly racist, he's quick to react. But again, in this case, silence.
I guess it's a good thing for the African American community in the US that they have such intellectually consistent defenders out there watching out for their best interests.

While racism surely still exists, and likely always will, there is far less of it these days. More precisely, there is far more less of it from the people typically accused of being racist. The term is used to bludgeon those who are generally of a differing point of view and great pains are taken to twist legitimate proposals and perspectives into evidence of racism.
Of course it is. It's just one more of what is becoming a commonly accepted example of hypocrisy on the part of many on the political left. It's also an assumption that because they aren't racist, that they can say or do things that would be labeled racist by others because their hearts are in the right place.
