after reading numerous and thoughtful viewpoints on the issue of using the R-word, I agree that, we MUST use that word, whenever it is the TRUTH. It is important right NOW, while the racists feel they are being vindicated, by the media in particular, to call them out!

Rove, Limbaugh, Beck..etc, KNOW that if you repeat something over and over, true or not, you convince people.
Well, the racism is real, and we don't have to lie, but only to tell the truth.

Don't back down! In particular, I've been interested to read various opinion pieces on Carter's comments. and I've observed the way the media has tried to bully Jimmy Carter, or anyone else that dares say it.
We can't succumb to any more of their bullying.


(& Thank you, Jimmy Carter and many others!)

on edit: reading responses: IMO the word "bigot" is also a fair call, if we weren't afraid to use it.
And it's hard to prove something that nobody but a white supremacist admits to.
Ask the GOP, NONE of them are racists!
