“Has Drudge Become More Race-Baity? Here Are the Numbers.”

“It's a fairly paralyzing time to be a guilty white American liberal. With Donald Trump elected on the basis of one of the race-baitiest presidential campaigns in modern American history, Republicans firmly in power, and mounting evidence that progress toward racial equality has been stalled out for years if not decades, it feels like there's little chance of substantive progress anytime soon. What can the conscientious white ally do?”

“The GOP's main counterargument has been to stir up race panic. Fox News and NBC today decided a Trump-funded ad was so race-baity they had to pull it from the air (though not before showing it to millions of viewers first).”

“'Can we make it race-baitier?' Dre's co-worker wondered.”
