As someone who grew up being called an OREO, ridiculed by both Black and white folks, and questionin

Rush Limbaugh needs to be condemned and condemned loudly for this shit. The problem is his audience applauds this and no Republicans/conservatives would dare call him out because they pander to, and in some cases agree with, those very racists he calls his audience.
