a white Republican President'
In an article posted on his website, the man known as Joe the Plumber during the last presidential election cycle published an unattributed article whose author assured readers that wanting a white Republican president doesnt make you a racist, it just makes you an American.
The article, written by Kevin Jackson, contends that n the pre-black president era, criticizing the president was simply the American thing to do. An exercise of ones First Amendment right. Criticism had nothing to do with color, because there had never been a black president.
The problem, according to Jackson, isnt the legacy of American slavery or race-relations, but the fact that the motivations of those who criticize the president are questioned: Mexicans disagreed with most white Republican presidents over Americas immigration policy. Many deranged Mexicans believe we should open the country up to them, some saying that much of America belongs to Mexico anyway. They are not called racists.
Being called a racist is, for Jackson, the worst possible fate a critic can face. And yet, later in the article, he claims that most Liberal blacks are racists. Nobody wants to discuss it, he writes, because racism by black Liberals has been sanctioned by the Left, even encouraged.

Hope I didn't double post this...but had to get this one in. As others have said, they aren't even hiding their racism anymore.
