Please read the entire article before commenting. Oh, and Un-uh! is not an intelligent or viable reply. The GOP and it’s tea party affiliates are running campaigns aimed at tearing down social programs and pushing the country into some sort of small government utopia. The central way they’ve done this is to blur the lines between ideological conservatism and racism. That is, they’ve built their anti-government politics on a racial politic of fear, a frenzy about immigrants and coded allusions to lazy black people. That strategy is not new and Republicans are certainly not the only politicians to have employed it. It was, after all, Bill Clinton who ended welfare on the backs of black women. And just like Clinton, today’s Democrats are taking voters of color for granted as they acquiesce to conservative policies and racial scapegoating. m.colorlines/archives/2010/10/the_tea_party_is_racist.html
