33. The insidiously calculating nature of American racism has long been a fact.

Tue Nov 25, 2014, 05:00 PM

Nov 2014

It's all they think about, and what they put their energy into. They plot with the barely-suppressed glee of pranksterism -- and count the resulting injuries and deaths of American citizens like some sort of moral currency.

Remember Bobby Cherry and the church bombing -- he murdered four children, and was privately proud of it. It's all the same river of bloody hatred. Racism knows no boundary or propriety -- it is its own religious cult. And Fox News is the pulpit.

You are absolutely right. This was planned.
