Rush Limbaugh comments. Racist?

Buff · 10-01-2003

Limbaugh said that the media was propping up Donovan because he was black and the media want desperately to see black QBs and black coaches succeed. How can that be a racist comment? He didn't say blacks suck at QB or coaching. He didn't say anything racist about blacks.

If I say that affirmative action is desperately trying to get blacks to succeed in college or the workplace, is that a racist comment?

The truth is that the media do notice skin color and they do push minorities -- and as well they should -- that's a huge market they ought not alienate. But it does lead to exaggerating some minorities' abilities.
