I guess it is my way of advising people not to get too much into Rush Limbaugh and remember that he is a commentator and not a journalist. I do tire of him taking every opportunity to think the worst of others. Some things he says, I can be fair and grant him what he is saying, but many times, I get offended with his tendency to take the members of the black community who exhibit the worst behavior and attribute that to all of us. Just my humble opinion...

Have you listened to him very much? Maybe you heard him at the particular times he seemed to do that? I haven't noticed that particularly, he definitely makes jokes that are not politically correct; OTOH I have heard him give a lot of credit and respect for black people who are not shackled by anger and the victim mentality, and therefore can take advantage of opportunities that America has to offer.

I am not black, but lived in Hawaii for around 14 years where "haoles" are in the minority - especially on the Big Island. And I did experience people giving me "stink eye" just because I was white, being rude, etc. And it is not fun to experience. I also learned that people who are racially prejudiced carry around anger and hate in their hearts, and those who are the targets don't have to. Nothing poisons a person - even their physical health - like hate and anger.
