Every day we see examples of the blatant racism that has become acceptable by one party. One predominately white party. And I don't agree with your assessment that it's not mostly one group or party who dominate the headlines with stupid misogynous and racist remarks. The percentage of women and ethnicities who represent Americans does not represent the actual population percentages. Women are under attack. Hispanics and blacks are portrayed as lazy, leaches on the white society. Portrayed as electing officials based on the "gifts/stuff" they will get for free. That's blatant racism by one group of our population. It ties into the racists fears of white America. A loss of perceived power. Historically, even though ethnic immigrants have been a major part of our success as a country, that gets forgotten during tough economic times. Some ethnicity always gets the blame for the "bad times".
And the so called 1% is predominately white businessmen. The wealthiest and most influential people in this country are mostly white. Those that aren't like a black female, Oprah Winfrey, are viewed with hatred.

Research has found wage and employment discrimination against blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Asians; however, discrimination has been found to be a much larger contributing factor for black wages than wages of other races.[4]

The "Race Card" as Racism?
http://theracecardproject.com/racism-deniers-are-the-worst-racists/
" The expression, “Race Card” is most often used by the people who want to perpetuate White Privilege, to treat Racism as if it didn’t exist, and demonize or ridicule those of us who call for repentance and overcoming of Racism. The “Race Card” Racism deniers are the worst, because they are happy with White Privilege- they want it to go on forever, and they’re running our culture over a cliff, because whites won’t be the majority in America much longer."

Holy. Fucking. Shit. If you truly buy this drivel, then you are as wacked out as we think you are. I think the phrase "White Privilege" is used only by those who want to cast the blame for their situation on "The Man"...a simple cop-out.

What better way to expose the closed minded, blind viewpoint of bigotry than a Colbert style satire? Your imitation was spot on, mimicking the hateful, broad brush stereotypes and blatant agenda (subconscious or otherwise), thereby dismissing millions of diverse people as one abhorrent group that is beneath you.


Oh, you were serious. Whoops.

The "good guys" never make the news. You know that.

I'm well aware that the good eggs aren't noteworthy.

I'm also aware of how widespread bigotry is across many political systems, races, continents, demographics, etc. This notion that it is one party is laughable.
