This is unfortunately the new face of racist movement in America. They no longer attack directly but instead provoke and after assume the moral highground or play the victim.
That's a loaded question. Ok if I had to choose. I would say I would rather go back to the old face. Because at least the old face was in your face. Today these scumbags are playing the power game and they're getting better at it every day.
I agree. "we walked in and called them all negros, which, unlike ******, we find polite, because it shows that we respect them, at least as much as we SHOULD respect an inferior negro.... And for some reason, the innately criminal negros threw a riot! We should obviously segregate these violent negros to protect good white folk."
This is the face of most all of the current evils; taking the moral high ground, maybe the face of most evil throughout history. (I mean, look at the Nazis, the Inquisitions, Manifest Destiny) Was it in your face, or is it in your face only in retrospect? Look at how long slavery was acceptable throughout the world and especially America (as a democratic republic). Do you think that would've been the case if the average person found it definitively abhorring?
