You know that thrill you get when you're just about to kiss someone for the first time? This isn't like that.

A Post About Racism and Religion

... and it's not even mine. A post by Sex Mahoney for President.

Once you get past the -- what's the word I'm looking for... colorful -- examples, you'll discover a very subtle and pointed dissection of the issue. Some of his other posts might be a tad more graphic, but I found this one to be spot on, with some very nice turns-of-phrase.

A small sample for you:

The anti-defamation crowd will get up in arms when I show the foul side of an Irishman, but those anti Irish racists will think it's hilarious, so there's obviously humor in racist situations; conversely, the biggest, meanest, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan would change their tune if Halle Berry showed up at their double-wide trailer looking for sex, so obviously, racist beliefs are situational, just like any other irrational behavior.

Amen, brother.
