Rush Limbaugh asked on his radio show today why liberals always want to have conversations about race, but when he attempts to engage in such conversations, those same people dismiss him and call him a racist.
Limbaugh was responding to the media coverage of his comments about Michelle Obama talking race to the 2015 class of Tuskegee University. Limbaugh said she’s playing the race card, and ended up getting scolded by plenty of media outlets, CNN and Media Matters among them.
Today Limbaugh said that liberals don’t really want to have an honest conversation about race, they want to make sure you “say the right thing” on race lest they come to “destroy you.”
“I do not fear discussing race on this program,” Limbaugh declared, “I don’t run from talking about it, and I do not do so in an incendiary way. And each time I do, I get raked across the coals. I get ripped to shreds in the drive-by media.”
And in case the point wasn’t clear already, later in the program Limbaugh said whenever conservatives like himself try to talk about race, “they shut it down, call you a racist or a bigot.”

exactly. IDK why anybody puts stock into what this goof and the goofs at faux "news" say. Its all trolling and said to rile people up and get views to see what other dumb ? they will say. They dont even believe all of the ? that comes off their lips. -
Because liberals hate when you express a strong opinion when it runs contrary to their views.
And with that said rush Limbaugh is anti black -
I thought y'all knew. -
stop saying ? like 'playing the race card" wtf is a race card?

It's something racist say when they are called out on their racism -
"i want to say racist things without any backlash"

Nah. He does get it. Hes just gonna act ignorant to reach ignorant people so he can continue making money.
All these conservative show hosts all create a character and play that character on their shows.
What gets me is that there are millions of real Americans that relate to these fake created characters. -

white privilege at work. Play the game how it go, ya'll ain't innocent all the time. A white person discussing race should be looked at under the same microscope as a black man walking in a white neighborhood with a hoodie minding his business. If you automatically assume that the black man is a criminal or a suspect, then the white man is automatically a racist. What makes the first stereotype any more true than the second when there may or may not be evidence of both.

These muhfukaz have very particular vision. I asked one dude on Facebook, how can you demand respect for officers and feel the way you do when they are called pigs, yet you openly disrespect the commander in chief of this nation and say nothing when people on your timeline compare him to a monkey? You feel its your right as a red blooded American to challenge the person holding thee highest position of authority in this country, yet its disrespectful when other citizens don't simply shut up and comply when dealing with those with low or local positions of authority.
Of course I get crickets though.powerman 5000 wrote: »white privilege at work. Play the game how it go, ya'll ain't innocent all the time.

I think it's a mixture of both. Some of them are just pandering to what they feel is a valuable market/audience…playing extra naive and oblivious to relate to their audience and keep with brand consistency, like Bill O'Reilly. I always got this vibe from him that he doesn't even believe half the ? he says.. he's just happy he don't have to work on Entertainment Tonight anymore.
People like Rush I think are characters that are inspired from a caricature of his actual beliefs. I think deep down he actually is a typical old white racist and he just amplifies that for entertainment and fortune. -

I'm gonna go hang myself now. -
