Politicians making racism respectable

Not too many years ago, it was axiomatic that racism was a dangerous symbol of wickedness that required to be decisively opposed, because the idea of a pure race, or of a superior or inferior race was shown, as with nazism, to bring about apocalyptic consequences provoked by these ideological stereotypes. But from not too long ago we are witnessing that thanks to certain well known characters, like the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, the Bolivian Evo Morales, and others in South-America that have established their communist regimes using racism, and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in our turf, racism is suddenly becoming respectable, fomented and blessed by an irresponsible leftist sector that sees it now as a social value and a factor that determines the human kindness, or evilness; in other words, it is changing the meaning of political correctness. Where is this nation going?.
