At the same time that such a chunk of our White males believe they're being the victims of racism, we have the extremely racist Tea Partiers and folks like the TV "stars" of "Duck Dynasty" shooting off their mouths about Blacks (and gays). The presidency of Barack Obama has brought out racists from the woodwork to a level I've never seen before. Recently, some top Ku Klux Klan leaders said that the KKK and the Republican conservatives have a lot in common regarding their racism. Wow.Thelma T.

The guy next door that used to be at least friendly to you.

Role models, even, if done well.<br />RudyGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-3678979724757445032014-01-11T08:26:22.348-07:002014-01-11T08:26:22.348-07:00A couple of things to think about when writing rac...A couple of things to think about when writing racist characters (they don't necessarily have to be villains): They often don't consider themselves racist, and think they are being fair -- there's an incredible level of denial these days. And, racism is based on fear -- racists don't feel superior, they're afraid of what all the strange humanoids might do to them. It can be scary . . . and even funny.ERNEST HOGANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540897948215678872noreply@blogger.com
