They are everywhere, but camoflage themselves up north, which is even more insidious.

does that matter? is it better to hide behind a facade?

They may be idiots for going on camera, but the are not hypocrits like those who won't cop to being bigots.

I'd rather they just declare, than smle at you, and stab you in the back.

But that's a " pick your poison choice"

Maybe she/he was calling for extermination...hmm back to Hitler again.

What other positive things do you have to say about these people?

Are you sure that keeping 'Snit Week' alive is worth defending these people for their forthrightness?

Too true, in a way. CJ taught me that.

Remember how I used to refer to Caledonia, where, every spring, sure as clockwork, Iroquois (specifically Mohawk) people gather, staging protests, sometimes blocking roads, to protest land claims that have been backlogged for a couple of decades? Jesus the bigotry that showed its face after that. Not everyone, but way too many Canadians started screaming about tax credits Indians get, started droning about casinos, on and on -- things that had nothing to do with the issue at hand. Then there were the youtube videos (kept me busy til whatever group was posting them thought of turning off the comment option). All this seething under a mask of faux outrage when other aboriginal issues hit the news headlines.

I still wouldn't go so far as to congratulate a racist for their candor, that's surreal. But I guess in a sense you're right: the obvious ones are more easily dealt with.**

It seems unnecessary but:

"They may be idiots for going on camera, but the are not hypocrits like those who won't cop to being bigots.

Yes, 'they' are hypocrites because the maker of the t-shirt denied any bigotry! On film...looking like the idiot he really is.

Yeah but these types, they don't know their hypocrites -- no patience for them, but they're easy to spot, they hang themselves. The other type is slick, harder to nail down.
