I was just reading that article. I think that article is missing something important.
Just because the song is about the old guard being angry at Obama doesn't make it less racist. It's still making fun of Al Sharpton's "black" accent and "black" speech patterns. It still uses offensive language. It's still white people laughing at the black people not getting along with each other.
Comparing one person's racism with Al Sharpton's racism doesn't justify either. It just demonstrates how both people are racists.
Not that I'm calling anyone racist, I'm just following proper logic through the author's points. I think this is all just a stupid mess and Republicans should get together and publicly denounce this stuff and point the spotlight at those who are racists. Attempting to prove to the public that the GOP isn't this stupid or racist; which I don't believe they are.
It was boneheaded AND racist, but one bad decision doesn't define a person or a political party.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
