The face of racism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Religious right characters often pay lip service<\/a> to inclusion of minorities. However, in the wake of their stunning defeat<\/a> last month (mostly at the hands of minority voters), some of them are lashing out venomously at people of “wrong” skin colors.<\/p>\n

Here are two examples.<\/p>\n

1. The conservative Eagle Forum, founded by Phyllis Schlafly, is foaming at the mouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eagle Forum is now attacking racial and religious minorities for supposedly trying to \u201ctear down traditional American culture\u201d and \u201cundermine Americanism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roger Schlafly (son of Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly) is taking a page from Bill O\u2019Reilly<\/a> in blaming<\/a> President Obama\u2019s re-election on Democrats who have been \u201cbadmouthing traditional American values\u201d and \u201cincreasing government dependence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Schlafly’s bile is truly revolting.<\/p>\n

America was founded by WASPs — White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They had nuclear families, attended church, and believed in the Protestant work ethic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess what, Catholics, you are out of luck!<\/p>\n

So non-whites<\/strong>, non-Christians, and non-marrieds vote Democrat out of group identifications. That is, they see it as being in their group interests to tear down traditional American culture. [Emphasis added.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Short version Schlafly: you belong to my tribe, or you’re evil.<\/p>\n

2. American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer is accusing millions of minority people of trying to “plunder the wealth” of the US.<\/p>\n
