It's good that their racism is out in the open

I continue to be amazed at how many people are willing to express their outright racism in public during this presidential campaign. For awhile there, people kept most of their bigotry and hatred hidden from public view. Now, they are wearing it proudly, like a badge of honor. And we're not talking about actions or statements with fuzzy or debatable interpretations, we are talking about outright racism and racial bigotry. The examples are everwhere to see -- in churches, among co-workers, within families, and in front yards.

I am actually thrilled as much as I am disgusted, because to eradicate racism you have to expose it. And when people write, say or do things that are bigoted and racist it is best if they do it out in the open. Now we know who they truly are.

Here is a perfect example. Watch this! This man hang an Obama ghost figure by a noose in effigy (and places a Star of David on its head?) and stated that it is because Obama is black?
