I actually believe that most of the racists in the world don't even realize they are racists and don't use political beliefs to express such.  This is very evident in the corporate world and in the sports arena (even if it is stereotyping racism).

Then that begs the question: Do you believe Republicans are people using political beliefs to express racism?

I know you weren't asking me, but I will answer anyway.  

"Do you believe Republicans are people using political beliefs to express racism?"

Hell, no.  Neither are Democrats.  

People reach to the other extreme to smear the other side.  The right uses the far left to smear the entire left, and the left uses the far right to smear the entire right. 

I honestly believe that 90% of Americans are either not racist, or believe that racism is bad.  There's no reason for anyone to say that either "the left" or "the right" are racist.  It's the extremes that are racist.

And that's one of the main things I disliked about the article, although I agree with a lot of what he says.  The author uses the term "the left" but that is unfair.  It's the FAR left that he is actually talking about.
