Sam and the crew skewer racists’ claims that somehow racists are discriminated against because they are called out for being racist.

Afterthought:

I remember when my father, who grew up under Jim Crow, as did I, said to me late in his life, “I’m glad those days are gone.”

Well, those days–or, more properly, the hatred and bigotry and greed and exploitation (read “theft of labor”) that created them–are not gone, though they may have been slightly in eclipse.

Over half a century ago, Richard Nixon’s odious “Southern Strategy” invited racists to join his political party. Now that “Southern Strategy” has come full circle and consumed Nixon’s party, so that today we have a political party dedicated to bringing back Jim Crow.
