18. If you went to the link and read the article you'd know he's exposing racism

on both sides of the political spectrum. He started with the conservatives first; this is part two.

Sorry to burst your bubble; there is racism in the democratic party. Were you asleep during the 2008 primary?

And why is it that people with a legitimate concern about racism are described as "having a chip on their shoulder?" You hear that term almost exclusively directed towards black people and/or anti-racists. It is used dismissively and intentionally to make light of real concerns and almost has a dogwhistle-like effect.

Where does "speaking truth to power" devolve into "having a chip on your shoulder?"
