one poster who often denies institutional racism and complains about political correctness is just outraged over Robert Byrd's involvement in the KKK and how it just can't be forgiven . the NAACP and anyone else is wrong to commend him for changing.

there are many who think just because they aren't full out KKK , and say the N word they just can't be racist or bigoted in any way.

and the truth is the reason it's hard to fight bigotry is not because of full out openly bigoted types like the westboro church and the KKK but because of those who think they are good people and say things like "he is one of the good ones" "i don't hate anyone i disagree with their lifestyle". people who think they are such good considerate types but refuse to see or listen to what the actual people who are affected have to say.
