As a white person, sometimes the subtleties of racism, I don't catch at all until it is pointed out (i.e. years ago, I didn't think about the whole "flesh colored band aids" until it was pointed out.)then of course, it becomes obvious. <br /><br />I also think that oftentimes people who are racist don't think of themselves as such. ( I mean who wants to think of themselves that way?!) Here is a prime example: years ago I worked in a company and we hired a young black man to work in the back office. One of the women who worked back there (albeit, very uneducated) was very upset about hiring him and said, and I quote "I'm not a racist, but I keep my pocketbook back there!" Really?! Really?! So I think no one (except the KKK) would really define themselves as that. And the obvious and subtle messages of these ads speak to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-88955809889645126882012-09-17T11:30:40.966-05:002012-09-17T11:30:40.966-05:00And don't forget that the majority of welfare ...And don't forget that the majority of welfare recipients are white.

This man has plans to bring down women, minorities, the middle class and younger generations. The only people he has yet to offend is the white man, which he won't do, because he is a white man.<br />Barack Obama has been trying, yes, and the only reason he has get to succeed is because all Republican's in Congress aren't letting him do anything. Sure, call out Obama and the democratic party, when they start fighting back, but not a single person is looking at rhe obvious; they wouldn't have to fight back if Republicans played fair. Between the amount of child's play they're putting the President through, he has no time to try things he has wanted to change.<br />Will it be any different with Romney? Probably not. He's pissed off 2/3 of this country, and put himself in a terrible position.<br />Just this morning, him and members of the republican party were talking about demolishing abortion, because a woman can "stop a man from raping her."<br />As completely inconsiderate as he is, he also lacks quite a few pieces of knowledge from the woman side of America.<br />BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE ROMNEY IS NOTHING BUT UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!!! <br />If he gets voted into office, my family and I are moving out of the country.

Rather, they have no desire to hold him accountable because it is in their interest that he continue to not be held accountable.<br /><br />This is for a number of reasons:<br /><br />(1) The political media are almost all wealthy coddled white millionaires who are embedded in the white racial frame and benefit from it socially and financially.<br /><br />(2) The political media benefit from a presidential "horse race" that is as close as possible. They thus refrain from reporting or analysis that they perceive as possibly leading to a widening of the gap between candidates, and engage in reporting and analysis that they perceive as closing any gap.Comrade Physioprofhttp://freethoughtblogs.com/physioprofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-33101917141869765052012-08-09T12:12:25.848-05:002012-08-09T12:12:25.848-05:00Excellent post, as always, holmes.

Eventually, someone will have the courage to speak truth to power, and demand some basic answers about the bigotry and racism that Romney has been using to advance his presidential campaign."<br /><br />Really? I doubt this will happen at all. The major media, TV journalism and print journalism, is owned by maybe five or six, media conglomerates whose CEO's are largely Republican. Even the so-called left leaning MSNBC will gloss over obvious news in an effort not to offend corporate advertisers, which are also largely Republican. Besides, Mitt rarely talks to media unless it is Republican campaign channel Fox. Who there is going to confront him on walking the racist tightrope? Legitimate, straightforward and informative muckraking is a thing of the past. Sacrificed on the alter of all things money. If a journalist wants to keep their job, they had better not ask hard hitting questions and if they do they had better not expect direct answers. This is how Mitt has been able to succeed thus far. Avoid anything that smacks of neutral media, McCarthy-ize any reporter who asks for truthful answers; or any answers, offer vague solutions, lies and race baiting. While doing this, hoping that everyone only pays attention to him pointing at President Obama so they don't realize what a horrible fellow American he has been.<br /><br />So you have a combination of lack of effort or willingness to stick the neck out, on the one hand and effective evasiveness by the candidate seeking to be elected, on the other. Both make it less and less likely that Mitt will ever be confronted on his tactics.
