11. The answer is quite simple: alot of white people have lost their damned minds
since Obama won the election.

The benefits of white privilege are being rattled for the first real time in this country's 400 year history. In response, some howl at the wind at every perceived infraction from Obama, blowing everything he says/does/doesn't say/doesn't do out of proportion in an attempt to portray him as inferior to his predecessors and/or a danger to this country; others grab their guns and prepare for the civil war they've been praying for since black folks got the right to vote.

You give talk radio much too much credit. Much of this hate has been here since this country's founding. It may have been diluted or shifted, but it's never gone away.
