      1. @DesmondCole has some sharp thoughts on Rob Ford's bigotry that I want to add to: http://torontoist.com/2014/07/on-rob-fords-bigotry/ …

      2. Doug Ford's attempts to redefine the meaning of racism is much more disturbing than people have registered.

      3. To recap: Rob Ford has history of using vile slurs against blacks, Jews, Italians, and other other groups (I won't repeat them).

      4. Recently a school teacher, out on a jog, runs into Rob Ford and upbraids him for his corruption and criminality.

      5. Doug Ford then calls that teacher a "racist" -- although his comments were entirely directed at Ford's actions, not his race.

          8. So, Ford family position is if you use n-word you are not a racist (because done on drugs) but if you are criticized, critic is racist

          9. Ford claim that they are the victims of racism is not unrelated to Rob's habit of using Jamaican patois: a form of appropriation.
