Right-wing hater Rush Limbaugh is at it again with another one of his infamous unprovoked attacks on minorities.
CALLER: We’re brought up to basically — you know, you have bright people. They’re going to go on to college. They’re going to get great jobs. The difference was my peers were coached to be angry. You know, when all things were equal, you know, you’re a minority, you know, get angry about it. Don’t let the opportunity slip away, you know, build on the anger. So they got the scholarships. They got the internships. They got, you know, their first jobs, and so anger became part of their tool set. And it’s so much a part of their success and, you know, like we all do, if you behave in a certain way and it’s successful and you get rewarded for it, you know, continue to use it. So when we have a whole generation of folks who are sort of coming up that have been coached this way, you know, post the civil rights era to leverage their anger on their mistreated historical status, I don’t know why anybody’s surprised they continue to behave angry. They’ve been rewarded for being angry.
LIMBAUGH: Well, let me clarify. I’m not surprised that they’re angry, and I’m not surprised to hear you say that they’re coached. I would say they’re taught.
CALLER: Taught, OK, yeah.
LIMBAUGH: They’re raised, and when they get to school, it’s affirmed.
CALLER: Yes.
LIMBAUGH: They’re taught to be angry. They’re taught that they’ve been cheated. They’re taught that they’ve been discriminated against. They’re taught this country is unfair. They’re taught this country is unethical. They’re taught that this country is discriminatory. They’re taught that this country is immoral and unjust. They’re taught this.
Limbaugh simply is unable to resist smearing minorities to please his ultra-conservative audience.
