The Incitement to Violence Continues

I honestly do get tired of talking about it, but there is a large segment of our population that basically has a fundamental problem with black people, including our president. I know a lot of them are Democrats. It used to be, not so long ago, that the majority of them were Democrats. But, today, they are Republicans. The Obamas went to an Easter service at the Shiloh Baptist Church in the District of Columbia. The church was built by slaves, and now it was hosting a black president and his family on Easter. It should have been a feel-good story. But Sean Hannity doesn't want to let a visit to a black church go unexamined. So, he unearthed a speech Shiloh's Rev. Wallace Charles Smith gave in Philadelphia early last year.

This is at the same time that the Republicans' leading presidential contender (according to Rasmussen) is going around telling black reporters that he knows that they are big fans of Obama, bragging that he gets along great with "The Blacks" and saying he is the last person in the world who should be accused of racism. Just yesterday he suggested the president only got into Ivy League schools because of Affirmative Action. The man graduated from the country's most difficult law school magna cum laude.

It's not just The Donald. Republicans make news with their racist comments nearly every day of the year. Today there's one in Oklahoma saying that blacks are stupid and lazy. Sean Hannity knows what he's doing; he just doesn't care. If he gets someone killed, he'll blame it on the murderer or the victim. But it's not just Hannity. This modern GOP is a flat-out racist party. They have even more venom for Arabs and Latinos than they do for blacks. What do you call a party that demonizes racial and religious minorities, waves the flag around, and serves the interests of major industrialists and corporate heads? What's the word for that?
