It's neither inflammatory or slanderous. It's just the truth.

Conservatism and racism are hand in glove. While the face of the republicans will tell you that they are not racist, in their hearts they are largely so. I don't say this glibly or with any joy. This has been my experience while living and traveling in nearly every state of the Union.

Look to the very most conservative factions in America. People like David Duke. They adopt racism as part of their everyday lives. Look at the country clubs all over this country. They are membered in the majority by the wealthy elite republicans, and many of them until recently have had written rules of exclusion. Now these rules continue to segregate, though now they are largely unwritten rules.

Look at your board rooms of the major corporations? See any black folk? Maybe if you squint. Look at the richest neighborhoods, and churches. See any black folk? Not really. Hey look in your personal telephone book. See any phone numbers of black buddies? Nope. Look into your heart. You want a black man to marry your daughter? Be honest here.

Racism is endemic in this country, and you find it weighted heavier to conservatives than you do liberals. Deny it if you feel like trying, but the facts are that racism is alive and well in the conservative heart.
