When will the GOP begin to take a stronger stance against racism?
Most appear to be just as silent against racism as American muslims are concerning Islamic terrorism.
"The 13-year-old, African-American YouTube star from Georgia said in an interview that he began considering the change after a conversation with another teen friend, who asked why he doesn't speak out on racial discrimination -- to which he replied he was concerned his followers wouldn't be pleased."
Do you think there is any merit to his concerns?

Yes. Racism has become too subjective of a term. What counts as racism varies from person to person. What you are quick to call racism others would never consider as racism.
So yes, he is wise to forgo most of the racial discrimination bandwagons that get started about things that aren't clearly outright racism.
I don't think he would have anything to worry about when it comes to speaking out against something that is clearly outright racism. Republicans and Democrats come together on those things now.
