      Say conservatives who only see racism by the light of a burning cross...maybe. RT @mattklewis: It's become a parody. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcers-medias-coverage-of-obamas-selfie-mix-of-racist-and-sexist-stereotypes-about-blacks/ …

      @tommyxtopher do you really believe the selfie thing was fueled by racism?

          @mattklewis That's the defensive interpretation of it.

          @tommyxtopher so your real disagreement seems to be with the Mediaite headline then?

          @mattklewis no, with the notion that the segment is "self-parody." What is more self-parodic than rivileged white dudes not seeing racism?

          @tommyxtopher so is your entire premise that since the pictures line up with stereotypes, suckling scout them is racist? @mattklewis

          @gregb94 @mattklewis assume that was an autocorrect fail, and a funny one

          @tommyxtopher it should’ve been talking about them but autocorrect is stupid @mattklewis

          @mattklewis The narrative unquestionably fed into a raft of stereotypes that you just might not be that aware of, or sensitive to.

          @tommyxtopher @mattklewis That's nice and unrebuttable, isn't it? Denying racism in the story just proves how pervasive the privilege is.

          @mattklewis Conservatives think of "white privilege" as an epithet, but it really just means the privilege of never *needing* to understand.

          .@mattklewis @tommyxtopher Matt, absolutely shocking that Tommy is crying racism where there is none. Maybe he knows @MikeElk?
