    This guy is like Dennis the Bigot. He would rather attack those who mention racism than attack the racism itself.

    And yes, Dennis, I’m calling you out, again.

    I’m calling you out because it is relevant to this subject.

    You are typical of many in the GOP who treat racism is non-existent and those who try and combat racism as the real villains.

    Remember, racism is no longer a real problem in America…

    The New Republican “Don’t ask Don’t Tell” racism: never mention that you’re African American or Latino, and never allude to how this affected your life, and never ever mention that African Americans or Latinos ever had it even the slightest bit rough in this country. If you do any of these things, then YOU’RE the racist.

    I found a cartoon postcard years ago with four single-panel cartoons depicting ‘Caucasian Translations’. One of them was a woman complaining to her friend ‘What’s with all the hyphenation? African-American, Asian-American, Latino-American – can’t we all just be _people_?’
    Translation: Can’t we all just be white?

    JD Rhoades: “If you do any of these things, then YOU’RE the racist.”

    Perfect description of Amused Observer. This is a man who is an admitted bigot, but who thinks if you try and counteract racism, you are being racist.

    Racism costs minorities jobs, educational opportunity, etc. every day. But to him they just have to suck it up and take it, or they are the ones being racist.

    CS is looking for a fight. Admitted bigot, have a cite for that my obsessed little northern pissant? Calling bullshit on legalized discrimination is hardly racism. We have a thing called the Constitution down here in the states. You could find a copy online.
