The only difference is, this isn’t remotely funny. It’s just inexplicable and very sad.

It’s interesting they want to recruit the blacks, when they have no idea, nor do they care about our plight. I remember the shock jock Petey Greene telling one of the legislatures, “you have people waiting to get into public housing, meanwhile you have all of these boarded up houses – and the boards are not coming down…” this eerily sounds like what’s happening today, except with a new twist, people have lost their homes, jobs…now public housing/education is being privatized, and all the GOP cares about is votes and tax deductions for the rich!

rad-i-cal
adj.
[...]
2. Departing markedly from the usual or customary; extreme

According to a ABC/Washinton Post poll, 77% of respondents supported a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. A CBS News poll showed that among Republicans 59% supported some type of legal recognition for gay couples, either marriage or civil unions.

Who is the radical here?

And thanks to Difluoroethene for pointing out the error I missed.

White supremicists have long seeked out self-hating minority persons who would profess their own “racial inferiority”. The idea of “we’ll except you, so long as you except the idea that you’re inferior” is nothing new.
