The term Racism, seems to be used at such will, in oh so very many contexts, where in fact some never ceast to exist. It has been used so often on this forum, over and over again. Sometimes a lot of the times it is used in the wrong context, i can udnerstand why it has lost it's meaning.

Sounds like they visited Frank Luntz at the Word Doctors. They (meaning whoever came up with the new terminology) need to up the ante as "racist" lost its umph, so they slap it with a new label. Hehe.

Yes, really. I would provide a link, but we're not supposed to post links to other discussions on the forum. Besides, it would take me awhile to dig them up, and I'd rather not spend time doing that.

With that said, I do acknowledge to being a racialist, but I'm not a racist. Unfortunately, racialism gets lumped in with racism; it shouldn't.

Back to the topic:

Grasping at Straws: Olbermann Claims Obama 'Arrogant' Label a Racist Euphemism | NewsBusters.org

I never knew that the words "arrogant", "cocky", or "punk" were considered racist terms if they're used as a slur against a biracial person.
