Bentways clearly was attacking obama with all those chimp photos and references over the years.(g) Bentway call him the Chimp so perhaps this was a left wing cartoonist attacking bush for causing current mess.

Yeah, I'm not saying it cannot be a racist context, because I certainly think it can. But this instance clearly wasn't, yet you have a contingent of people who always look for racism whether it is present or not.

The truth is that tejek doesn't know crap about racism. He hasn't seen it in action, he has merely read about it and seen the news. This doesn't convey the entire story.

For example, someone who read Howard Zinn's "Peoples History..." may have a very distorted view of America and its racist past because there is no evidence that Zinn's so-called history is correct.

OTOH, we KNOW about the Dred Scott decision and how outrageous it was. THAT is racism.

And, it was racism, IMO, when the NAACP ran that malicious racist ad against George Bush in 2000. And it was racism when OJ Simpson slit the throats of two whites then escaped justice by playing the race card over and over again.

I know about racism. When you have seen a black kid show up, the obvious victim of a castration, while everyone there is claiming it was an "accident" on a logging job site, you know the difference in REAL racism and the nonsense these northern liberals think is "racism". There is a pretty huge difference.
