Wow… so… How long before we stop pretending that racism is accidental? Or simply due to alcohol? Alcohol doesn’t make you racist, it just makes you forget that other people will hate you if you say those things. And when a GOP candidate calls the president “Buckwheat” and then pretends he wasn’t aware that would be taken as racist is either a direct lie, blithering insensitivity or ignorance on an almost olympian level. I’m gonna go out on a rather thick limb and say I think he’s lying..AND he’s dumb enough to think the country is as racist outside his skull as it is on the inside.
