I read a blog!

Have you seen this?



I found it through The Awl.

I like the take of the poster there:

"I'm of the opinion that it's always great to see an oppressed group of people attempt to reclaim a word that has been used in the past to cause hurt and shame. I'm thrilled for Republicans that they're trying to take the "racist" label back. Especially the black ones."

It's pretty astonishing in that it really does seem like a bunch of people saying, without dissembling, that they ARE in fact racist.

Really doesn't work for me as an indication that those claims of racism are wrong.

Oh well.

I guess all of our opinions can be reinforced by this bizarre commercial.
