sounds like you're making excuses for it as inevitable - racism gets worse when it's made acceptable instead of shamed

racism is learned and if there are teachers on every radio station and no one gets in their face to call them racists then it becomes more acceptable. it's been used for 20 years to sell voter suppression legislation but the left and dems are ignorant about that. not complaining about limbaugh/savage/hannity daily racism is stupid for a society. that's why there's a racist asshole in the white house.
