People who don't even know they are racists are so often lying racists! Yeah, you!

by Dick Mac

A "conservative" meme is being spread around Facebook.

More than one of my relatives have posted it.

Racism is a form of mental illness.  "Conservatives" aren't bad people, they are sick people.

The meme uses a favorite conservative tactic of accusing victims of racism as being the actual racists.  It shows four images depicting Congressional caucuses:  The black caucus image is a group of brown-skinned members of Congress.  The other three images are blank, and the caption reads:  "Oh, I see, but everyone else is racist, right?"

The implication is that there are no Latino, Asian caucuses, or White caucuses.

This, of course, is a massive lie just like everything else "conservatives" try to tell us (and themselves).

What is the truth?  One look at the list of current caucuses points out that the vast majority of them are for Whites, that there are multiple Latino and Asian caucuses, and one Black caucus.  One.
