Apparently one radio personality thinks that all you have to do to get back at white people is tax tanning salons. While filling in on Glenn Becks radio show today, Doc Thompson said (joked?) that the health care bills 10 percent tax on tanning beds is racist because dark skinned people dont use tanning beds.
I now know the pain of racism, Thompson said, adding that racism has been dropped at the foots of all lighter skinned Americans. Why would the president of the United States of America - a man who says he understands racism, a man who has been confronted by racism - why would he sign such a racist law? Why would he agree to do that. Now I feel the pain of racism.
Movie critic Roger Ebert took the opportunity to tag House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester.
Heres Eberts tweet: He feels the pain of racism as Obama taxes white folks tanning salons. Paging John Boehner!
By the way, tanning salon use has been linked to the deadliest form of skin cancer.
