@61 Don’t you know that is because blacks are not and cannot be racists. Only white people are racists.

Simple example: black kids beat up a defenseless white kid on a school bus = not racism. But if white kids did the same to a black kid (which, btw, is probably far less likely) then racism must be the reason. Jessie and Al will be all over it immediately.

We should all start to give this increasingly meaningless word the mockery it deserves. As Michelle Malkin and others have suggested, spell it ‘raaaaacist’ (5 As) to indicate how silly and dishonest its use normally is now days.
