MSNBC race relations commentator extraordinare Melissa Harris Perry explains it is racist when Michele Bachmann points out only 53% of Americans pay federal income tax and says we all need to pay.
"What that is meant to imply is that there is a whole group that is dependent," Harris Perry analyzed.
Harris Perry says that 53% talk is just codeword for the "2011 version of the welfare queen."
Harris Perry also has this interesting theory that some words appear less overtly racialized because those words have been effectively racialized. For example, according to Harris Perry, when someone says "crime" they really mean black people.
Perry, as well as being an expert on race, is a columnist for The Nation.

Melissa Harris Perry sounds like a hard-core racist to me. Who else, but a hard-core racist, would assume that “dependency”, “welfare queen”, and “criminal” meant black people?

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, chances are good... it’s a duck!
If that makes me a racist, so be it.

Only a person who knows that those terms are more likely to apply to a black than any other race.

"What that is meant to imply is that there is a whole group that is dependent," Harris Perry analyzed.Whatever do you mean, Ms Harris Perry? Sounds like YOU are the one implying a dependent group.
Now what group would that be?

Again, Perry, tell me she is wrong...(hint, she is absolutely correct, and you are the race-baiter Perry)

Being called a racist all the time desensitizes one, so now I don't mind it so much anymore, in fact, I kinda’ like it!

How does one become an ‘expert on race’?

Old propaganda trick: an “expert” is whoever the writer agrees with.

But blacks comprise only 12% of the population. Even if, as Harris Perry implies, all 12% of them pay no taxes, that still leaves almost 75% of the deadbeats that are not black.

How can you tell when a white person is racist?
When they speak. Especially if its truth./s
