Where did the racists go?

Asked by josie (30934points) April 5th, 2011

During the last presidential campaign and in the early days of his term, most white people who opposed the president’s agenda ran the risk of being labeled racist. Some actually were openly accused of racism.
Even me, the champion of live and let live, got a racist innuendo on an Obama thread right here on Fluther!
Since then, a healthy (not overwhelming to be sure, but healthy) opposition to his agenda has developed in congress.
People like John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor et al. clearly oppose the president’s agenda. But I have not heard people openly call them racist.
So where did the racists go?
