54. I get so tired of this canard

Sorry, but sure, there are racist in every state in the nation, but, and it's a BIG but, the racist asshats in blue states don't have the power of the state behind them.

Know what the difference between a racist in California and a racist in Alabama is?

The racist in Alabama has the power of the governor and State Legislature behind him.

That's a HUGE difference.
