Great, your nerves can be at rest while those of us on the receiving end of this bullcrap get no defense and solidarity from you who just can’t be bothered to give a rat’s butttt.
No thanks. I prefer my direct and overt enemies to “friends” like your ilk.

I don’t think bigots regard same-sex or interracial couples as gross or unattractive; I think that bigots resent them. That’s right. I don’t think bigots are expressing disgust on aesthetic grounds; I think they’re expressing resentment.

As proof, look at the studies showing that self-identified homophobes are most often aroused by same-sex pornography. I know that people have gotten very huffy in the past when I state that someone is misrepresenting themselves and disguising their true opinions, but I’m going to stand my ground.

In the case of Richard Cohen and his “gag reflex” concerning interracial couples, I think he’s deliberately misleading us. I think his true motivation is that he resents the passing of racial barriers in American society.

Would Richard Cohen gag if he were watching hetero pornography involving people of different races? I really don’t think so, hence my claim that he’s misrepresenting himself and disguising his genuine motives.

As a second example, did Southern men who owned plantations object to sexual/romantic liaisons with African-American women on aesthetic grounds, or were they just hypocrites? Clearly, they were just hypocrites, as we can see by the significant percentage of African-Americans with partial white ancestry.

People sometimes react to my attitude with outrage, but I think you know me well enough by now, Becca, to know that I find such outrage more entertaining than anything else. Huffy responses are always welcome. LOL. We could start to compile a scrapbook of all such hypocritical responses and call it The Huffyton Post.

And also of course those tasteful signs at teabagger rallyes of Obama with a bone in his nose or whatever. Actually the whole right wing unprecedented public disrespect for Obama from “You lie!” on down.

Or Romney campaign commercials showing a bunch of all white hard working Americans. I don’t remember the whole thing, just that it was all racist.

Those were just a few off the top of my head in about a minute. I’m sure everyone here has thought of many more instances of current Republican racism.
