Using the n-word to debate health care
If you have to use the First Amendment to justify your argument in the healthcare debate, you’ve probably missed your opportunity to be considered reasonable in the discussion. Or if you talk to CNN about healthcare with a life-sized Ku Klux Klan figure in the corner and the n-word on a sign out front of your business. I’m all for a vigorous debate on healthcare, and don’t think that disagreement with Obama’s policies constitutes racism. But in the case of the business owner below, some anti-racism training just might be what the doctor ordered:

Maybe I’m the one stereotyping but he doesn’t come across to me as someone who has actually read any of the proposed bills so how is he able to pass any concrete judgement on POTUS’ push for healthcare reform? If you want someone to take your views seriously you have to be informed then resist the temptation to stoop to name calling. Then would he have used that phrase if McCain or Hilary Clintion were in office? No. So I don’t want to hear about it not being racist.
Part of the reason I posted this was to point out that while all criticism of Obama’s policies is not racist, some of the criticism is obviously rooted in uninformed, racist sentiment.
