But there are a lot of those people in America. I believe the current figure is 40% of Americans have less than $500 in the bank at any time

The way our economy and society is run, that is a feature and not a bug. If people got the support to get out of a death spiral, a lot of people wouldn't come back for low pay and poor conditions.

Saying a racist comment (which is most of the time racist in the eyes of whoever wants to make it so) makes one a racist?  I think not.  Otherwise Joe Biden is racist many times over. 
 

How many racists hire a minority as their top employee?  How many racists advocate for advancement of all Americans regardless of color?  People think he is racist because he doesn’t pander to a certain demographic.  He doesn’t do the identity politics. 

 

Let's take the man at his own word. A few jewels from our Medal of Freedom winner, the late Rush Limbaugh (not all of them racist — he was a multi-faceted a$$h@!e: 

 

“Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.”
“The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them.”
“Citizen service is a repudiation of the principles upon which our country was based. We are all here for ourselves.”
“I think this reason why girls don’t do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, ‘All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what’s it going to be?’ We all know what was chosen”
“When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.”
“Styrofoam and plastic milk jugs are biodegradable! Do you know what isn’t biodegradable? Paper!”
“The ocean will take care of this oil spill on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.”
“Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work”
“Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
“There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?”
“Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?” ~ Rush Limbaugh, while holding up a photograph of 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton on his 1993 television show
“Exercise freaks … are the ones putting stress on the health care system.”
“If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in man-made global warming.”
“Republicans are going to have to realize that if they are to prevail, they are going to have to engage in a political fight that results in the defeat of the Democrat Party — not bipartisanship.”
“Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Nothing wrong with saturated fats.”
“You don’t have to be a scientist to know that the President doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he says fossil fuels are the energy of the past. We have more oil than we need. We’ll never run out of it. It’s all we’ve got.”
“Some people are self-starters, and some people are born lazy. Some people are born victims. Some people are just born to be slaves. Some people are born to put up with somebody else making every decision for them.”
“If you feed them, if you feed the children, three square meals a day during the school year, how can you expect them to feed themselves in the summer? Wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the State. Pure and simple.”
“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”
“Let’s say we discover the gene that says the kid’s gonna be gay. How many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? Well, you don’t know but let’s say half of them said, ‘Oh, no, I don’t wanna do that to a kid.’ [Then the] gay community finds out about this. The gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life faster than anybody you’ve ever seen. … They’d be so against abortion if it was discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies.”
“So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”
“We’re not sexists, we’re chauvinists — we’re male chauvinist pigs, and we’re happy to be because we think that’s what men were destined to be. We think that’s what women want.”
“From this day forward, somebody propose it, liberals should not be allowed to buy guns. It’s just that simple. Liberals should have their speech controlled and not be allowed to buy guns.”
“Public and private polling indicates that Ohioans, by a substantial margin, want to overturn the new anti-union law. Which means, if this is true, that people in Ohio want to rape themselves”
“Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
“You just gotta be who you are, and I think it’s time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call ‘em gangs.”
“Holocaust? Ninety million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos — what’s to complain about?”
“To some people, bankers — code word for Jewish — and guess who Obama’s assaulting? He’s assaulting bankers. He’s assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if there’s starting to be some buyer’s remorse there.”
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

You probably should have given someone credit for that list of jokes and shock statements from Rush that are designed to get a rise out of the lefties.  It’s Schtick, not much different than someone like Howard Stern.

Still waiting for you to explain how that "schtick" made America a better place.

Are you recommending Howard Stern for the Medal of Freedom, too?

Racism isn't about being an angel or a demon. You're not either 100% racist or not racist at all. A lot of psychologists will argue most humans harbor some measure of racist views.

 

Rush made made a career out of saying racist things. In the eyes of many racists, bigots and homophobes, he was a champion. Do you think he was unaware of this? And yet, he continued to say those things.. Show after show. Year after year. It was a routine element of his rhetoric.

 

That makes him more of a racist than it does not.
