Never ask are you a racist. Ask these questions.

Was jim crow bad for the south?

Interracial marriage anyone?

How do you feel about diversity?

How does blacks getting government help make you feel?

There are other good ones but these are just a few.

Ooookaaaaay...

Jim Crow was bad for everyone.

I'm already married, thanks, but you go ahead and marry anyone you like and blessing upon you both.

The same way whites getting government help makes me feel: Glad the truly needy are getting a hand up, but perturbed by all the waste, fraud, and abuse in the programs.

The best questions are:

1 Do you hate big government?
2 Do you think that the government should spend less?
3 Social security and Medicaid/Prescription drugs for seniors are the biggest government programs outside of the military. Should we cut those?

Suddenly the answers to 1 and 2 by most of them instantly change.

Here is one opinion

I am a Tea Party Patriot and here are my answers....

Jim Crow was terrible.

Who minds interracial marriage?

Organic diversity is a beautiful thing. Forced diversity causes problems.

I do not approve of ANYONE getting assistance from the government....it's not within the confines of the Constitution and has caused too much poverty.

I dislike obama because of his color.....RED!

I was just sitting around the Thanksgiving table with 15 or so ultra liberals, quite a few injected comments which could be described by any fairminded individual as borderline "racist" or "racial" in nature. No folks of color present. The disease hits in all courts, the human condition is to slur anything not familiar, not of ourselves. To the beleagured OP, get the chip off shoulder, get a clue. And, let's not ever kid ourselves, those alleged to be victims of racism are themselves guilty of same.

I don't belong to the Tea Party but I share their views.

Jim Crow = Bad

Interracial marriage = who cares? I don't.

Diversity = In what context? That's too broad of a question to really answer.

Blacks on gov't assistance = No different than any other group on public assistance. It only serves to harm the recipients in the long run.

OK should say a work place be diverse. Should a company just hire all whites for leadership positions? If no minorities are in management does that matter to you at all?

If society is colorblind, especially you lefties, why does it matter?
