Exactly. Obama said the same thing. That black men have to take more responsibility.

Its key to seperate who Rush Limbaugh is in real life and Rush the on air personna. Talk show hosts often act, talk and have different views than how they really have.

He's an entertainer, just cause he has his own talk show doesn't mean he's not acting to some degree. All hosts have an image that they want to keep, if their ratings are struggling they change it up.

Any quotes from Rush that he said on air or in interviews are his on air personna and not necessarly his peronnal views. You can say his professional character is racists based on those quotes, but to call him personnally a racists you need proof of how his attitude away from the public eye.

If George Clooney plays a racists character in a movie you don't call him personnally a racists but you can call his character one.
