Thug
As Richard Sherman pointed out after receiving criticism about his post Super Bowl interview, “It seems like [thug] is the acceptable way of calling someone the n word nowadays. Substituting the word thug doesn’t disguise the negative association with Black people.”
Urban/Inner City
The Black community is often referred to as urban or inner city when people are uncomfortable talking about Black people or where they live.
State’s Rights
During the Civil Rights Movement, politicians used racially coded appeals and words such as “state’s rights” to try and capitalize on the racial anxiety during that time.
Welfare and Food Stamps
When President Lyndon Johnson wanted welfare to include a racial component, it became possible to associate welfare with helping minorities. The same stigma is used with food stamps today. When Newt Gingrich called Obama “the food stamp” president, everyone knew what word he really was using.
Law and Order
During the Civil Rights Movement, the opposition said that “Law and Order” was needed to handle the racial tension and civil rights protests. In other words, we need to control the Blacks.
Cut taxes
Making the poor and people of color sound more threatening, cutting taxes has long been racial code for not using tax payer money to help Black and brown people.
Thug - This is supposed to be "offensive" because Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were called thugs because they were violent bullies who paid for their poor upbringing with their lives -- and continue to wreak havoc in death. How many pregnant women, the elderly, disabled and children have been savagely attacked for being the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time because of these violent, sociopathic thugs?
Urban/Inner City - The former is a word that advertisers and marketers use to describe a certain genre they are targeting; which is mostly black. The latter is where a lot of black people live. Facts are not racist.
State’s Rights - The 10th Amendment stands as a bulwark against Federal intrusion. The States were created to serve as laboratories in which citizens can easily vote with their feet if regulation and taxation are too onerous in one jurisdiction. Having everything run by the Federal government is anti-democratic. But then, so is the Left.
Welfare and Food Stamps - Apparently you're entitled to what someone else has, but not what you have earned. To be so impolite as to point out that someone is a parasite is considered racist today. The War on Poverty has increased poverty and single-parenthood dramatically -- particularly affecting blacks. And when Gingrich observed that Obama was the "food stamp President" he was pointing out that more people -- including many whites -- have found themselves dependent upon the government under Obamanation.
Law and Order - As we have seen in recent history, law-abiding citizens and the police are supposed to let criminals get away with victimizing others -- if the perpetrators are black. If not, let the rioting and looting begin.
Cut Taxes - Too many blacks have been sold the notion that they should trade self-empowerment for the false security of dependency. So the bigger the government is, the better it is and anyone who advocates for lower taxes is by definition a racist. That is why the Hard Left hates the Tea Party Patriots.
And one major hope of Obama and his minions is to impoverish the majority of the American people so they also will be invested in ever-growing government -- and consider freedom to only work for the "rich."
Mulatto?

Cutting taxes is racial ????????????
Yikes.

Cut taxes!!
Pick a word or phrase, any word or phrase, and I’ll tell you why it’s racist against blacks.
Voter ID is racist
Education is racist
Getting a job is racist
Marrying before you have kids is racist
Your left foot is racist
Those are not exactly the words I was thinking of...
Knee grow?
I usually just use one of the two N words so nobody is confused about what I mean.
Emancipation!
Arthritis ;)
Government is racist. And that’s no b/s.
I offer my own list of six code words that “offend” me (actually, they make me want to projectile vomit).
“diversity” - which means “no white males allowed”
“religious tradition” - a flowery way of calling faith a hobby
“community” - the socialist word for what used to be a town or a city
“progressive” - aka communist, liberal, democrat, moonbat, devil-spawn, booger eater
“fairness” - a way to describe something patently unfair and automatically imply that anyone who disagrees is bigoted about something
“for the children” - which means we want more of your tax money to give to government workers who watch porn at their desks all day
This guy must be on drugs.
Cutting taxes is racial ????????????
Often accompanied by a sneer or an eye-roll, it is used to blame the end of slavery for the beginning of all of this country's problems.
Thug doesn’t cut it any more than “teenager” does.
Let’s call a spade a spade.
Most black people are racist
Anyone promoting this crap is flat out nuts.
How about “get off your lazy ass and look for a job”.
That’s “Arthur-itis”
