30,000 foot view of ground level problems. Awesome.
I like Bourdain and admire his views, that that part of America that was extremely racist (some still is) will not be converted by pointing the finger and insulting the folks that live in it. It's best to always let them speak and listen to the message.
Even when you listen to the KKK buffoons, if you strip the rants of all the macho racist bullshit, there is a clear message, a human message, that people ridicule because they can't concentrate on the content and instead put all their attention on the adjectives/insults. Same with folks like Malcom X or Louis Farrakhan.
People like Obama and his constant mild-mannered rants go "unnoticed" by the media even when his BAD DECISIONS (using the US Government to get irrationally hostile toward China or Russia in geopolitical and economic moves that we need not get into) put ALL Americans at risk. Black and White. Instead, the Jew York Times and the Waste-toon Post rather front page the latest church burning in Alabama or the latest racist act in some Southern town, with the only intention but to make Americans believe that that only happens in backwards towns in the South and that that is the only problem facing the nation at that point.
