I deny being racist.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The thing is, and what most of our learned, knee-jerk ZOMG AM I RASCISS Languishians fail to understand, is that racism is simply more than overt, stone-cold acts, and there is as much racism in the passive nuance of the Wilsons or Rush Becks or "Big Guvmint". 
Much like the continentals and their WHAT? US ANTI-SEMITES? attitudes--after all, if they're not stuffing Jews into cattle cars and ovens, then it's not anti-semitism, right?--then if we're not lynching the darkies or making them pay poll taxes, it's not "really" racism. 
Well, that's bunk.  Carter's called it like it is, whether people want to acknowledge it or not.
All of this rings false coming from a former police officer.  You put black men in chains for a living.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Embraced diversity.

Oh shit, here we go.  Seedy's screwing another black girl, so he'll be Malcom X for the next few weeks :rolleyes:

Don't know.  Alot of conservatives were fairly unhappy with Colon Powell.

Good point.  Or at least it would be, were Colin Powell a conservative.  Which he's not.

Yeah, once he started speaking his mind and ignoring official GOP marching orders, the Republicans tore up his little white card.

Calling someone a racist in an effort to ignore their argument is as reprehensible as actually *being* racist.


What if there is no argument?

Then there isn't any need to slander them as racists, now is there?

Ergo they must be racists since there is no reason to make it up.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Here is a nifty little chart to help you figure out whether you're a racist:

I get stuck in an infinite loop between "Are you sure you're not white" and "Are you sure you read the first question correctly?" If only I'd registered as a Republican. :weep:

Anyway, Hans, are you a white?

Hansy, as a non-American, I find that chart quite funny; even witty.

Perhaps the white part of your bloodline is predominating. Don't be so sure.

Neither of my parents like Obama. :o
