Make your prediction. Which day of the RNC will see blatant racism from a speaker?

Not "wink, wink, nudge nudge" racism, but full throat "Did he really say that???" racism.

I'm going to say today. We don't make it past today.

I'm guessing they will take that theme to a higher notch. In simplistic minds, it makes sense and they can justify blaming racial tensions on the President because he is black.

It makes me sick that cynical Republicans can so freely play on people's base fears for cheap political gains.
