I understand the over tenor of your piece but some of your conclusions are faulty and based solely in white thinking.
Only a white man could come to the conclusion that a conscious decision to prey on the fears of white people by deliberately scapegoating people of color could decide that decision wasn't based on "malice." Really? I strongly beg to differ.
Further deciding that Ryan may just be playing the same game of "strategic racism" but not actually really believe any of the stereotypes or tropes perpetuated by his party means he's not "really racist" is wrong.
Taking advantage of others based on the color of their skin ad perpetuating fear of people of color is racism, plain and simple. That these people know better and choose to spread this ideology for political gain is not only racist, it's evil. Pure, unbridled evil.
To me, there is no argument that Ryan is racist. You're debating facts already in evidence. The question becomes, "How can so many people in this day and age fail to recognize that Paul Ryan is a racist?"
