Part of the problem is the double standard that exists in politics. Had McCain made the remarks Hillary made recently (Obama being weak with hard working white americans without college education) he would have been castigated as a rascist and the redneck jokes would have been flying. Yes, Hillary caught
some flak, but does anyone seriously think that she was treated the same way a republican would have been?
Apparently, it's okay to make rascist remarks if as long as your
our rascist.
Until
both parties stop playing racism as a "card", legitmate attacks on rascism will always be viewed with skepticism.
