[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1144056, member: 2189"] The charge of racism against conservatives is as airless as calling liberals communist. Both are straw men. Dress an black man in African attire and many white so-called conservatives (not all) will have a knee jerk reaction but take that same black man and put him in a suit and those same conservatives pay little attention. Have the black man walk the walk and talk the talk and said black man is likely to get an invite to dinner. It's not race, it's culture or a kind of nativism. And it's not exclusive to white folk either. Most people you think are racist when you talk them through their beliefs you'll find a deep fear that their culture is threatened and it may manifest itself in what appears as racism. Once you realize our American culture is already and has been a Heinz 57 of sorts, the reason for any fear seems to drift away. [/QUOTE]
