"For the uninitiated, here are the some of the main features of the racial narrative Fox and other conservative outlets weave:
- Actual racial discrimination against African Americans and other minorities is largely a thing of the past.
- The most common victims of racial discrimination today are white people, who are regularly elbowed aside by minorities given government benefits they don’t deserve.
- Liberals constantly accuse conservatives of being racist with zero justification, an accusation that can be impossible to refute.
- When minorities criticize government policy, it shows they are unpatriotic and “ungrateful.”
- People of color are held back by their own pathologies.
- Democrats are The Real Racists, which is proven by the fact that their party was pro-slavery during the Civil War and many 20th-century segregationists were Democrats."

It's funny because it's true!
