The New Racism of Denial

There is a new insidious twist to racism: attack people based on race, then attack anyone who points out that the initial attack was racist.

I call it the new Racism of Denial. The "Teabagger" protesters who were incapable of understanding health care reform, but hated it anyways, used racial epithets to slander and attack members of Congress. Then whenever anyone pointed out that using racial epithets was racist, the conservative pundits would say absurdities such as "racism is dead", "it's time to take racism out of the national dialogue", "there is no racism".

The conservatives act as though people are toostupid to understand that if you do X and call it Y, it really is still X. If you spend a trillion dollars invading countries and killing hundreds of thousands of people, but say you didn't, well, the truth is you did do it.

And if you speak and act in a racist manner, then you are a racist, no matter how many times you claim there is no such thing.

It is really creepy the way racial bias has slipped into the core of convservativism. It sickens me.
