On the radio this a.m., one of the broadcasters mentioned how the "hiphop" crowd is attempting to form their own political party to "get the stupid, white men out of WA".
Now, I'm not of the opinion that the majority of our elected officials are of high intellect but imagine if you will for just a moment if that phrase had been turned around uttered by a white man?
The double standard of racism is that it's perfectly okay for everyone to bash "white" people. I didn't pick the skin I was born in EITHER and frankly, I'm working my ass off to live in this world too so I don't care to be trivialized in such a blatantly inexcusable racist way.
