It's Hard to Be a Racist

"Years ago it was easy to be a racist. All you had to be was a white person using some of the racial epithets that are routinely used in song and everyday speech by many of today’s blacks. Or you had to chant “two, four, six, eight, we don’t want to integrate” when a black student showed up for admission to your high school or college. Of course, there was that dressing up in a hooded white gown. In any case, you didn’t have to be sophisticated to be a racist."
