Beck guest host Doc Thompson: Tanning salon tax makes health care reform a ‘racist law.’

For years I’ve suggested that racism was in decline and yeah, there are some, you know, incidents that still happen with regards to racism, but most of the claims I’ve said for years, well, they’re not really real. But I realize now that I was wrong. For I now too feel the pain of racism. Racism has been dropped at my front door and the front door of all lighter-skinned Americans. The health care bill the president just singed into law includes a 10 percent tax on all indoor tanning sessions starting July 1st, and I say, who uses tanning? Is it dark-skinned people? I don’t think so. I would guess that most tanning sessions are from light-skinned Americans. Why would the President of the United Stats of America — a man who says he understands racism, a man who has been confronted with racism — why would he sign such a racist law? Why would he agree to do that? Well now I feel the pain of racism.

6. I know black people that use tanning salons

My son. My husband before he died would sit in the sun until he was as black a a berry. He couldn't get enough of the sun's warm rays. Many blacks are sun worshipers. I like the tanning booth because it helps with my winter depression. I don't mind paying a 10% tax on my 20.00 a month unlimited membership.
