Another Plot

This story is making the rounds.

What can we say. Racism is big in America and Obama will be a focus of that form of hatred.

This is America. Violence is just a paper thin membrane below the surface. We don't even have a decent word for the absence of violence, we simply say non-violence. Unfortunately the word violence is still present in this term. The implication is that our reference is violence and not its absence.
