It's always okay when it's a Democrat. It's fine if a Democrat calls someone a n*gg*r or is a member (former or otherwise) of the KKK.

Let a Republican say something that might kind of, sort of, remotely construed as a bit racially insensitive, however, and that person will be hounded and smeared until they have no name or credibility left.

It's all about consistency.

You can add the opposition to minority conservative judicial appointments, which seems to be particularly vicious.

The liberals talk about the need for Affirmative Action and bending the rules to get get minorities into higher positions, then dig in and obstruct well qualified minority nominations such as Justice Janice Rogers Brown, the CA Supreme Court justice.

This is directly and deliberately trying to keep minorities out of power on a scale not seen since the 50s.
