This is quite a difficult one. Maybe they mean, you are being a hypocrite by addressing it in that context?

eh...screw it...I don't know, and I don't agree with it. Unless someone can disect that, and make sense of it somehow.

in what context?

Just by simply saying something or someone is racist?

or in policy, like saying it's racist to base affirmative action on color rather than the social- economic conditions of the person?

Yes, that context. I'm not saying I agree with it, or that they are right. Just saying, maybe these retards thought of it that way. But, I think it's stupid. It doesn't make sense.

That's ridiculous logic that racists use to defend their position. It's like suggesting that feminists are misogynists because they use that word. That's ludicrious.

someone who is truly not racist, does not see color but the person. i embrace the differences of race, but we are equal people. black is beautiful & i don't need a tan. its all good the way we came.

ignoring ANY problem makes u complacent & closed minded

the statement quoted came from someone who is afraid of confrontation & hasn't fully accepted that races are different.

"racist" is a word used to describe closed minded people who are aware of the apparent differences of race and kneejerk believing their race has superiority over others to the point that other races are considered sub-human.

i am not racist but i have met 1 or 200 in texas. being able to describe those close-minded jerks is important so we can teach our children how not to be.

i'm not buying it & u should get your money back.
