The South Still Infested With Racist Cockroaches; Time To Clean House

At a recent event in the Southern U.S., president Obama was greeted by a cadre of angry old white guys waving Confederate Flags.

But it also represents the deeper, racial resentment that is still too prevalent in the South.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with attorney Howard Nations.

we don't reduce humans to animals or insects in the USA and talk about exterminating them. People are not "cockroaches", not even racists like these poor ignorant folks in the photo.
