“Racism tends to attract
attention when it's flagrant and filled with invective. But like all bigotry,
the most potent component of racism is frame-flipping -- positioning the bigot
as the actual victim. So the gay do not simply want to marry; they want to
convert our children into sin. The Jews do not merely want to be left in peace;
they actually are plotting world take-over. And the blacks are not actually
victims of American power, but beneficiaries of the war against hard-working
whites. This is a respectable, more sensible bigotry, one that does not seek to
name-call, preferring instead to change the subject and straw man.” – Ta-Nehisi
Coates, writer and journalist (b. 30 Sep 1975)
