That Ctrl-Left position is one of the most racist statements imaginable, when stated sincerely instead of as satire, and I'm always shocked that democrats are able to get away with it. Their entire party would fade without media complicity (which is motivated by the false and racist elitist belief that blacks really cannot compete intellectually).
Bill Clinton almost got away with making “ebonics” an acceptable dialect of English forever hamstringing members of the black community.
