re: #81 palomino
I think this is one reason the whole TP doesn’t seem to appeal to blacks, Hispanics, religious minorities, or anyone with a modernist outlook. It denies history in search of myths that can be laden with near religious significance. And it hearkens back to a time when minorities were either in chains or second class citizens.
Well, that and the blatant racism and xenophobia from the teabaggers. That doesn’t help either.
