Seriously? It just doesn't get any more racist than that. And the previous Black cheerleading coach left after receiving a threat? Quiet racism did its job then.

Sounds like quiet racists are fighting to make public racism respectable again.

This is where we are right now as a nation, as reactionary leaders harness hatred to drag us back from whatever process we've made in being a more inclusive, healthy society.

With Trump almost certain to be on the GOP presidential ballot again, this reactionary impulse has not even peaked yet.
