Here was a man who was clearly racist, held racist viewpoints for many years, was a high-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan, routinely threw out the "N-word", and seemingly never got one shred of criticism from the left for it. Contrast that with a conservative radio talk show host who is trying to make a very valid and legitimate point, being called on the carpet for "a racist rant" as DQ put it. Nothing she said was denigrating toward blacks, it wasn't a "racist" remark, she did not espouse a "racist" viewpoint, she merely raised a legitimate question... why is it okay for black men on HBO to use a word, yet "racist" for a white person to use the same word... IN ANY CONTEXT?
