7. All the racist shit was allowed and even encouraged

during Bush. It used to be that people took offense too easily to not being politically correct. But since Bush, it was all allowed again, even encouraged. Then add a black president! Holy crap! That let out any left over restraint that the red necks had left. Caps & gowns for all! The white pointy ones. "Let us have tea with our white attire", they were heard to exclaim.

6. I am NOT surprised. I'm in an interracial marriage and when I go to Arizona, (I'm treating for

cancer @ CTCA in Goodyear), I get the stink eye and have actually had EXTREMELY racist comments made. My husband is a BIG Texan and is not in the least bit intimidated. He can give as much as he gets. I believe that this is a plan and meant to roll back the advances made by MLK.

8. Welcome to Newt's America!

Certainly, if that young black boy had been working as a janitor, he wouldn't have had time to date anyone much less a white girl and therefore, would not have provoked those poor white boys into choking him.

I wish I were kidding, but that is exactly the kind of thing Newt was coding and dogwhistling when he starts his janitor and food stamp and ghetto talk.

9. This was reported in the Chicago Press.

But the part about dating a white girl was not..Not that I read all the articles, just one..
