I don't think white racism has much to do with hating black people. And I say this as a black person. I think it has more to do with the obvious. Blacks can reproduce offspring with different degrees of melanin, in contrast to whites who can only reproduce offspring without melanin. Gingrich has spoken about the genocide or attempted obliteration of white people. I think what passes as white racism is actually fear of annihilation. If you listen carefully to Republicans, you can hear how they are using this fear of annihilation to foment hatred and fear of President Obama, his policies, our government, etc. I think the Republicans are the most dangerous home grown terrorists we have ever had in the US.
