My one small quibble with this article is his suggestion that Carter knows racism because of the "toothless crackers" that he's undoubtedly crossed paths with. I think this puts the racists into a nice small box of ignorance, but what we're seeing today is people who don't look like that stereotype. They're well dressed, smiling, and have with some education behind them. Because of that, they've gotten away with being an under the radar racists for a long time. If we want to recognize racism, we need to recognize the words, not the appearance.
