'''Racial censorship''' is the stifling of criticism of [[affirmative action]] by declaring such criticism to be bigoted.

The expression was the title of a column by black Professor Walter Williams to decry the name-calling of [[Rush Limbaugh]] for suggesting that a black quarterback was being used for reasons of social concern rather than merit:<ref>http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/03/censorship.html</ref>

:Rush Limbaugh's comment on ESPN regarding Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb was, "I don't think he's been that good from the get go. I think what we've had here is a little of social concern from the [[NFL]]. The media has been desirous that a black quarterback do well." Kweisi Mfume, [[NAACP]]'s president, criticized Limbaugh's remarks as bigoted, ignorant and racist. [[Democrat]] presidential hopefuls chimed in with their criticism and Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie called Limbaugh's comments "despicable."

:... Limbaugh's statement is opinion that can be characterized as correct or incorrect but racist, no.

:The true tragedy of the flap over Limbaugh's remarks is that it's reflective of an ongoing process in our increasingly [[politically correct]] world where people are losing the freedom to say what they think lest they be subject to intimidation, extortion and other costs by our well-established grievance industry.
