lambasted Obama for bringing race up when he spoke about Trayvon. That the people complaining of racism are actually racist and creating wedge issues. As if a 17 year old white kid would have been followed or noticed as he walked home in that gated community. As if it is all political. Because anything that benefits Democrats has to be stopped and forcefully ignored. Because reality has a left wing bias. Because they are spinning their narrative to try and get their base to feel they have the higher moral ground so they can feel good about how they vote. Even if they are voting against their own economic best interest. Because the GOP base has not been feeling good about how they vote for a while now, and abortion doesn't prime them as 'more moral' than it used to. So now they are post racial.... in a world that is still a racial place. That is the new GOP delusion for the base. That is how they are trying to suck economically confused people in. And it is how they try and stop a discussion on racial issues that might result in understanding and healing taking place, so that their racist 'Southern Strategy' still works for them in the South.
