Yesterday, Democrat Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia said that race could be a factor that motivates some people to oppose of Obamacare.
Vox.com decided that Rockefeller’s statement deserved to be “Voxsplained” for reasons of simplification:
Racists are likelier to oppose health reform when they think about Barack Obama http://t.co/W0dz1dOHo2

In other words, if the millions of people who received insurance cancellation notices because of the implementation of Obamacare wouldn’t have thought of Obama after they read the letters, they would love the ACA … or something.
Yet another “Voxsplanation” causes shaking heads:
Vox goes full Rockefeller RT @voxdotcom: Racists are likelier to oppose health reform when they think about Barack Obama

Here’s a take that will never be “Voxsplained” in an honest way:

Bingo!
On the other hand, there’s this:
@voxdotcom @mattyglesias Don't care if ignorant racists get sick or die – the sooner the better. R pols who block ACA should be prosecuted.
