A "conservative" meme is being spread around Facebook.
More than one of my relatives have posted it.
Racism is a form of mental illness. "Conservatives" aren't bad people, they are sick people.
The meme uses a favorite conservative tactic of accusing victims of racism as being the actual racists. It shows four images depicting Congressional caucuses: The black caucus image is a group of brown-skinned members of Congress. The other three images are blank, and the caption reads: "Oh, I see, but everyone else is racist, right?"
The implication is that there are no Latino, Asian caucuses, or White caucuses.
This, of course, is a massive lie just like everything else "conservatives" try to tell us (and themselves).
