It's always 'racism'

Amazing. Skip "It's always racism" Alston finally retracted an accusation of racism -- sort of. He went from blaming the whole city staff to "mainly some of the (city) housing department." They were "trying to attack a successful black leader" (read Alston) and "prevent a black-operated ..." etc.

With Skip, it is always racism; never, ever does it result from his or another black person's decisions. But things are improving somewhat; for a change, he said "black" instead of "African American." Perhaps it will continue and he will start thinking before he opens his mouth and yells "racism" again, which has gotten very, very old.

You ask why it is that Skip Alston always cries racism.
I would guess it is the same reason some people cuss.
They have a limited vocabulary.
