QUESTION: Why are white folks more mad about the Birtherism than all the other racist shit

28. I haven't read the thread yet

I do not quite know where to start.

The fact that this rampantly racist and ignorant pig is a candidate for the highest office in the land makes my head spin. How could someone like that get this far? Rhetorical question because obviously, there are a bunch of folks who must feel similarly or at the very least, certainly are much more tolerant of that ignorance, discrimination and hatred than I and many others are.

In the face of that, how could the polls be even remotely close? But they are .. for the same reason - just reaffirming the above. Obviously, there is this clandestine hatred flourishing in America. They know it's wrong because they hide it but their basic deep seeded hatred overwhelms the notion that all men are created equal, fairness, good will to all men and decency, etc.

This:
"I'm talking about whites being pissed off at tRump now "
is a drop in the bucket. Doesn't mean much to me.

How do you make sense of such ignorance or hatred in the first place - before getting down to what little thing might have ticked them off recently? It doesn't matter what flavor it comes in, racism, based upon minds full of maggots of hate and the disease of ignorance, doesn't taste good.
