Because the "civil rights" movement has left us with a segregation so virulent it makes the '40s and 50s look absolutely tame. It is a segregation that is REQUIRED for the liberals to hold power and they will never let it end and we, like the cowards we are, are perpetuating it by falling into the same one-way trap we always fall into. A supposed "racists" statement is a death sentence for a republican but when a democrat does the same it is simply because he "mis-spoke". I am damned tired of the double standard and I am damned tired of “conservatives” with an ax to grind cheering it on.
