Stealth Reparations Continue Unabated
The White House has opted for a dog whistle strategy: making proposals that Blacks will recognize as beneficial and targeted to their special problems without triggering white backlash.

Perhaps white people pick up on it a lot faster in the desegregated south... we've been pushed around by the fucking NAACP for so fucking long now and it doesn't matter what you say or how you live, if you are white, you are racist.
