So now the good ol' boys at Sigma Klux Klan are blaming the booze!
I haven't been shitfaced for many. many years -- but when I was their age getting a buzz-on was part of our social life -- and here's the thing: I cannot remember one single time where getting drunk led to me singing, talking or shouting about "ni*ers" -- not once.
I'm willing to bet I'm not alone: I'm willing to bet there are tens of millions of Americans (and others around the world) who can drink themselves into a stupor without once uttering that vile word -- or any other racist talk.
In blaming the booze, these guys are actually revealing more about themselves than they realize: what they are telling us is that there is a robust "inner racist" at the core of their being, and all it takes is a couple of beers to reduce their impulse control, and suddenly: not only are they singing for the crowd, they are singing about ni**ers!
