Racism is racism, and it is wrong, in any context.
If this were a white man he would have been barbecued. If this were Pat Robertson talking about what "God wanted", people would talk about how crazy and power hungry the man is.
But since we have grown up and been force fed that whenever a black man speaks out and says things like these, it is ok because they were once oppressed.
FUCK THAT.
This man is just as prejudiced as any white man who would say that. This man is just as radical and uses religion for power as much as Pat Robertson does.
AND WRONG IS WRONG.
Our acceptance of bullshit and speeches like this on both political sides needs to end. This is divisive, hate filled, anger rising racist prejudiced and for anyone to accept this shows why we still have a long way to go to truly end racism.
While, I have shown total disagreement, anger and believe fully it is hate filled what he said. I do support his right in saying it, as I do Pat Robertson's hate speak.
The scary part is not that they say it, the scary part is that people believe what has been said.
