More recently, Heritage Action attacked food stamps and Head Start as two programs that promote a culture of dependency, code words that imply African-Americans are lazyYou show me an expression which “objective” journalists deem to be “code” for racism, and I’ll show you an expression of thought which the “objective” journalist is attempting to censor. The journalist assays to make expression of that thought impossible.
