Richard Cohen: Mixed Race Familes Make 'Conventional' People 'Gag'
(The same article quotes this jerk as saying Christie isn't conservative enough when, in fact, Christie does agree with most of the backward and barbaric beliefs of the GObP.)
I'm sick of hearing the racist shit but, the election of a man married to a black woman and having bi-racial kids should send the same message as when a t-potty candidate loses.
Most of America is not filled with hate for people who are of a different color. Most people just really don't care about this any ore than they care about who marries who.
Too bad we can't send all the racist slime to some barren island - like the asshole who learned he's not 100% white. But of course, they wouldn't last long with out their government checks.
Richard Cohen wants you to know that there is no racism in the GOP at all. No way, no how, nuh-uh. They just find the idea of a white man married to a black woman to be nauseating. Why Richard Cohen, long time columnist at the Washington Post thinks this is not a phenomenally racist thing to say is unclear. What is clear is that Richard Cohen is a jackass and the Washington Post would be better off without him and his pervasive racism.
Richard Cohen made quite a stir earlier this year when he cheered George Zimmermans acquittal in the Trayvon Martin murder case. In his column he compared Trayvon in a hoodie to a white man wearing KKK robes. In essence, a black teen wearing a sweat jacket with the hood pulled up in the rain is a uniform we all recognize. You know, because criminals have a dress code and whatnot. No racism there or anything....
Todays GOP is not racist, as Harry Belafonte alleged about the tea party, but it is deeply troubled about the expansion of government, about immigration, about secularism, about the mainstreaming of what used to be the avant-garde. People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasios wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?) Thise America. To cultural conservatives, this doesnt look like their country at all.
