Take for example her argument that Tea Party protests are a subtle form of racist behavior. Of all of the news footage or pictures that I have seen of any of the Tea Party protests, I do not recall seeing ANY people of color. None. I would agree with Ms. Silverman that it appears to be behavior that is subtly racist. Take another example that Ms. Silverman calls racist: The Birther movement. It has been factually proven that President Obama was born in the state of Hawaii. But Birthers conspiracy belief that he MUST not be President is a subtle, perhaps unconscious form of racism. Difficult to recognize as what we might traditionally call racist? Yes. But racist nonetheless.
