The great irony here is that militant Republicans probably believe Ron Rosenbaum is racist for arguing their party has a racism problem.
No, I’m not saying all Republicans are racist. I’m saying that as a party, ever since Goldwater and Nixon concocted the benighted, openly racist “Southern Strategy” in the ’60s, the Republican Party has profited from overt and covert racism.
The “weird” part, though, is that Rosenbaum tackles this subject in a piece that boils down to discussing whether or not journalists should continuously report widely accepted and fully absorbed truths, lest they become lost in a sort of banality.
