The comment, on the lead-in page to this story, tells it all:

“A false charge of racism is even more offensive than a real one.”

These folks have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how the majority of us — non-racist Americans who have bent over backwards to aid minorities in our daily lives up to now — are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore.

No more sitting back and “turning the other cheek” like we all have done. Myself, and millions like me, are shredding complacency and embracing activism as defense.

By accusing whites, conservatives, libertarians and small-towm America as racist, liberals are screwing with the wrong segment of America — because you can’t attack the backbone of any society, and expect the rest of the body to stand.
