“she is not a racist”

I thought racism was when an individual believed that their particular RACE gave them inherent perceived value and privilege over others….(like getting a stool at the coffee shop counter, using a different water fountain and rest room, getting better insurance rates).

Oh well. Based on your logic, even if she really is racist, it doesn’t matter because once upon a time, some white men WERE racist.

Well, shoot, looks to me like the only people qualified to be racists now (since “you have to have power to be a racist”) are going to be “people of color”. YaHOO!!!

What goes around comes around, Bunky, and here it comes. Don’t let it hit you in the head.
