I think I'll write an open letter of apology immediately to the family of Travon Martin and the community of Ferguson. It's all my fault. By discussing openly whether America still has a problem with race and a continued existence of white privilege, I caused the death of Travon and the unrest in Ferguson. If only I had just acted like the conservative pundits and pretended we lived in a perfect post-racial society. Just by pronouncing it so, that would have made it so.
After all, the best way to deal with social problems in a society is to pretend they don't exist. Talking about it openly only makes it worse.
Making claims that republicans won't work with "President Blackenstien" isn't discussing race. It is using race as a means to demonize your political enemies by fermenting hate an anger. Then when the angry pot boils over....you claim you had nothing to do with that.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
