Racism is how morons digest difficult topics. It is easier for people of lesser intelligence to handle complex social issues by color-coding the people involved. Black=bad white=equal good etc..
This color-coding keeps them from having to think, to understand, to learn, because thinking, learning, understanding a subject takes more effort in their case than it would in someone with even average intelligence. A color photograph has more information than one in black and white, more things to process, to identify, too much for some brains to handle.
These are people longing to simplify American society, bring it down to their level, to where things are divided enough and clearly labelled that they can feel comfortable. A system of Apartheid perhaps.
This simpleton sensibility has been seen most recently in the Internet uproar associated with the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murders, where a set of white people decided that white people are being persecuted by black people at large. They have taken their rage out in banal blogs and reposting a certain spam email written by a well-known white supremacist.
This surge makes it seem as their is an uproar, that something has shifted and people are finally speaking out, largely due to the attention given to it by Snopes.com. Really, it is nothing new. For the most part most of the people blogging about the racial aspects of the Christian/Newsom murders have always been bigots and recognized as such. These are the members Stormfront messageboards and the countless white supremacist newsgroups who now think that they have an alibi, an excuse, to disseminate their slurs.
