If you )(*&^%$#!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$##@!@#$%^&*()__)(*&^%$!@#$%^&*()__)(*&^%$#!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#... you might be a racist

"If you incite and exploit hatred and resentment against minorities
to get white votes…
you might be a racist.

If you regularly vote for the candidate
who incites the most hatred and resentment against minorities,
especially if that’s why you vote for them…
you might be a racist.

If you think Barack Obama is a Muslim…
you might be a racist.

If you think home loans to minorities caused the housing crash…
you might be a racist.

If you think minorities are engaged in rampant voter fraud and intimidation…
you might be a racist.

If you forward e-mails showing a watermelon patch on the White House lawn,
or a “Historical Keepsake Photo” of Barack Obama
as just a pair of eyes against a black background,
or anything else along those lines…
you might be a racist.

If you advocate putting undocumented immigrants into concentration camps…
you might be a racist.

If you’re so convinced all of Islam is collectively responsible for 9/11
that you think the Park51 community center is a “Victory Mosque”…
you might be a racist.

If you think the indefinite detention, torture and murder of Muslims
is not a problem because they must surely be evil terrorist barbarians…
you might be a racist.

If you show up at a political rally with a sign showing Barack Obama
as an African witch doctor with a bone through his nose,
or urging him to go back to Kenya, or, well, pretty much any of these…
you might be a racist."
