It is very hard to have a discussion about racism. Part of the problem is thus: take Mississippi. In a recent poll, in every single county in Mississippi, the majority of people were against interracial marriage. That is simple racism. But today no one can be openly racist, so all racists are in the closet, so to speak. But we can tell by the above poll there are a lot of racists. And no one who is a racist wants to talk about it, debate it or otherwise have the subject even brought up. So the best thing for them to do with anyone who does bring it up is shut them up. They have no other recourse. Voter suppression used to be a big deal in the south. It was called the Jim Crow south. Many like the Doonsbury political comic strip think we have returned to it.
