A Christian radio host insisted last week that white people were no longer racist, and even if they were, its the fault of racist black people.
Sandy Rios, of American Family Radio, was offended when a listener suggested she was racist toward black people, who she blamed for inciting white racism.
I think the racist garbage coming from the uh, a lot of blacks right now who are just filled with bitterness and rage is just amazing to me, Rios said. It is racism, I am seeing it constantly here in D.C., you know, I think and its causing white citizens to become more racist than they ever were.
She continued, referring to white people using the term for Germanic tribes that once dominated England and is now generally associated with British-American Protestants and white supremacists.
I think for the most part, the American Anglo-Saxon crew really has moved past racism, they did it quite a long time ago, she said.
Rios, a Fox News contributor, said racism had demonstrably ended because segregation was no longer legally enforced and the nation had elected a black president.
I mean, they did elect Barack Obama twice, so I think its not nearly the issue in the white community that it was in the 50s, sure it isnt, or the 60s it just isnt, she said. But it seems to be raging, racism seems to be absolutely raging in the black community.
She blamed this rise of racist feelings among whites on this same black president who signaled the end of American racism.
I think whats causing it is people like Barack Obama and (Attorney General) Eric Holder, who cant say enough and stir the pot enough to create anger and hatred and bitterness, Rios said. You know, they do the same thing with women, its the same thing in feminism, thats why Ive never been a feminist. I hate feminism.

(3,596 posts)We have not moved beyond racism when we look at the vitriol caucasians hurl at the first black president. They cannot hate him more than Bill Clinton because of his politics because there is not much light between Big Dog and Obama on matters of policy. Their hatred can only come from their internalized hatred of him as a black man.
We have not moved beyond racism when Zimmerman can be acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin. We have not moved beyond racism when poverty and violence are so pervasive in many African-American communities. We have not moved beyond racism when black and hispanic men are 90% more likely to be stopped and frisked in New York than whites and the actual ratios of finding guns, drugs or contraband is no greater among the minorities as the whites. We have not moved beyond racism when blacks and hispanics are something like 70% more likely to be convicted and sentenced for minor offenses than whites. We have not moved beyond racism when our prison populations have grown browner and darker over the past 30-40 years.
The racism emanating from whites is the realization the world is changing. In the next few decades we will no longer be a white majority populating. African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanics will constitute the majority. So not only have they lost their ability to oppress blacks with segregation, their entire world is crumbling.
This is why angry old white men (and women) are growing increasingly nutty and desperate. Whether it is the demographic changes in our society, the increase in the number of non-Christian and non-believing Americans, the increase in support for legalizing recreational marijuana, acceptance of those with disabilities, majority support for a woman's right to choose, a majority support for sensible gun control and lastly full acceptance of the LGBT community including their right to marry, they are being marginalized.
Their hateful and narcissistic views are being replaced by new ones. They realize that as they die off this country will become an increasingly multi-cultural, multi-religious society that values all persons for who they are.
They hate the thought of this. This is what drives their racism. It is the fact they are losing their place of domination.

Could her perspective possibly be any more distorted than it is now?
