re: #163 Obdicut

No, the comment is still racist. He’s not, if he doesn’t believe in race, then he’s just a cynical opportunist, using the language of a racist in order to court racists. Which, I think, does describe a few people on the GOP; not racist themselves, but perfectly willing to engage in racist dog-whistling to get votes.

Oh brother.

Thank you for allowing me to make that point.

Gladly.

You gave one, which was facile. Someone can say something racist without being a sincere racist. Racism, as a personal attribute, is believing that race exists.

That definition is ludicrous. I’ll take the Wikipedia and every other dictionary definitions of racist and racism:

RACISM: the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination.

RACIST: a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others.

You may think you are a genius on this issue, but it is clear that you are not.
