Obligatory Trayvon Martin Post

When did progressives turn ugly?

Watch the video above and see if you can spot the racism. Make the jump to see if you’re correct:

They would call it racist

They would call it racist, but imagine a political ad showing scenes of Obama golfing and vacationing to the sound of a Patsy Cline imitator singing “Lazy . . . I’m lazy and don’t care about you“ (h/t Hot Air)

“If there was no more racism I would have to get a real job”

No Such Place as ‘Post-Racial’ America Dear America, Please, I beg you, stop using the bankrupt and meaningless term “post-racial!” There’s no such thing as “post-racial.” There’s no place that fits the description “post-racial America.” There’s no “post-racial era.” It’s a term for a concept that does not exist.
