So when a guy who has been depicted wearing a jacket featuring an apartheid-era Rhodesian flag walks into a historic black church and guns down nine African-American worshipers at a Bible study meeting, common sense leads one to believe his motivations are based in racism. When the sole adult survivor of the ordeal reports that the killer shouted before opening fire, 'You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go' — well, that sounds to me a lot like racial hatred. The ultimate broken clock scenario.

President Obama posted:“The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives, you know, that casts a long shadow, and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on,” the president said during an interview for Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast that was released on Monday. “We’re not cured of it. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say friend of the family in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not.” Obama Says Totally Reasonable Thing, Republicans Flip Out

Fried Chicken posted:Obama Says Totally Reasonable Thing, Republicans Flip Out Personally, I'm hoping we can distill the complicated and messy reality of the cultural and social causes of the AME church shooting into a highly symbolic and controversial issue that has nothing to do with the underlying causes of violence and racism in America. Any ideas?

Marc is pretty used to guests saying unexpected things using foul language. Also there's not a comedian out there worth a poo poo who hasn't seriously engaged in what's ok to say and when/why.
