предвыборная агитация

Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.

Это, если кто не знает, человек, который участвовал в инаугурации Обамы и которого Обама наградил Президентской Медалью Свободы.

Просто чтобы было понятно, какого рода риторика там в ходу.

Какой милый черный расист

Черных расистов не бывает, кто этого не знает, того не пускают в приличные гостиные.

Упомянутый там Andrew Young тоже хорош:

Andrew Young - Ambassador United Nations (President Jimmy Carter)

The civil rights leader Andrew Young, who was hired by Wal-Mart to improve its public image,
created a controversy during an interview with the African-American newspaper Los Angeles Sentinel.
When asked about Walmart hurting independent businesses, he said that,
"But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us - selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables... I think they've ripped off our communities.
First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs. Very few black people own these stores"

Особенно убойно звучит в сочетании с предложением, которое идёт сразу после этого:

"I'm frightened by the level of hatred and bitterness coming out in this election," said Lowery.

Посмотрел в зеркало и от ужаса чуть не обделался, ага.
