There's a sense of entitlement throughout our culture, from the welfare mom to veterans to Lockheed Martin. It has nothing to do with the amount of melanin in one's skin.

"Entitlement" is a racial codeword of the right.

You can run from that Finn, but you can't hide.

The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message. The code words in this game are “entitlement society” — as used by Mitt Romney — and “poor work ethic” and “food stamp president” — as used by Newt Gingrich.
