Yeah, you didn't need a crystal ball to know that was coming.

There have been racial slurs and spitting at Black politicians; and homosexual slurs at the openly gay politician. That's how it goes when otherwise "nice people who aren't prejudiced, bigoted, or even homophobic or racist" perceive some sense of threat to group status and positioning. Hence, the "-isms" aren't about "bad people" or just about prejudice and bigotry.

So, I knew when I heard about the slurs yesterday that death threats were next. These people are attempting the social control/constraint mechanisms that have been attempted during every social change (perceived crisis).
