Tell me What Racism Looks Like Again

Racism in any form is disgusting to me.  Those that cling to it lack some sort of chromosome, perhaps the compassion gene.  I do hope that you will consider the political affiliation of those spewing the following hatred. 
I have seen racism my whole life.  It has gone both ways, I have seen some very ugly things from all races, and it saddens me.  I was married to a moron whose Father dropped the N word like nobodies business.  He thought it was okay, what can I say, he never got out much.  He also had a lot of friends that were pedophiles, but that's a story for another time.  I was looking around the internet (thanks algore) and found some of these gems.  The media-such as it is-has largely ignored these little bon mots.   I wonder why that is unless they have an agenda.  Think about the incredible ugliness that is in these words, they take my breath away.  Practice tolerance.  You'll thank me later.
“Let’s not even deal with the facts right now. Let’s deal with just our blackness and pride — and loyalty,” Joyner wrote on hisBlackAmericaWeb.com blog. “We have the chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing. And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it because he’s a black man.”



"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. ... God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." ... "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye." ... "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost." ... "We started the AIDS virus ... as a means of genocide against people of color." --Barack Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in various sermons
"For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." --Michelle Obama

"And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," Obama said
