Digby has an excellent post exposing the right wingers on the internet who do not think they are racist as they expose how racist they really are. The comments are no different from those I remember from the white trash at the segregated all-white High School I attended in the late 50's in East Texas.
Unfortunately, much of that white trash was made up of the children of the ruling class in the city. The kids of the all white political class and much of the professional class. Now that the law no longer permits separate rest rooms and water fountains for Blacks, they think their attitudes are no longer racist. But the attitudes are no different. Those attitudes are a major reason why so many Texans vote Republican today.
Go read Digby.
