I mean, "most black folks don’t bother to teach their kids good manners" - WTF? I'd like to think the worst racism over there comes from moby activity, but in my experience, while a moby often starts it off, a handful of regular commenters are happy to chime in. It isn't a majority, or even a significant portion of Hot Air commenters, but it's enough to make spending any time over there a blood pressure-raising experience. If I want to see that kind of ignorant stereotyping, I'll hang out at DU, Kos, or HuffPo. Rob, that Hot Air thread was truly appalling.
