A bit off the uppity topic, but a week ago, I heard a woman on a radio talk show severely upbraid Sean Hannity as being racist for saying, "they drank the Kool-Aid" in reference to people buying the Obama rhetoric hook-line-and-sinker (uh oh, might offend some pirates).
I have heard that term used millions of times, and never in a racist way, it's usually used to describe the blind loyalty of Clinton lovers, and stems back to the Jonestown Massacre where those poor people blindly followed their leader into drinking the poisoned kool-aid.
So, has "drinking the kool-aid" become racist somehow? I have loved kool-aid since I was a kid, I never thought there was anything racial about it...
My point is, I think people can see "racism" anywhere if they are looking hard enough for it...
