-Racism "behind closed doors" is "fine." You can think any way you would like.
-Racism in "public" is illegal, as it is an infringement on the rights of other citizens. Discriminating in employment, business, or basic physical / verbal barriers on the basis of race is a violation of civil rights.
Got it.
Affirmative Action and the Quota System was racist.

I know all about discrimination in employment. Can't tell you how many bids I lost because I am not a minority owned business.
"Sorry Sir but we must hire a minority owned business, it's in the contract".
What I have found to hold true by being one of the minorities and discriminated to a very great degree in my early years is this;
Republicans have always branded minorities as "The Problem"
Most normal people would say 'Blacks have problems" or "Indians have problems they need to address" or "The Hispanic community has issues that need to be solved"
But republicans say
"Blacks ARE the Problem"
"Hispanics ARE the problem"
and the ever popular, since the presidency of Andrew Jackson, "The Redskins ARE the problem and we must do something about it."
You get a republican drunk and honest and they will admit it. Been there, done that.
It's a mindset that still exists to this day and is expressed in this very forum on a regular basis.
It's only by labeling the minority as "The Problem" can one offer solutions that cover the whole minority culture. In the case of the Redman, extermination was the solution to the problem.
For the Hispanics, label them all interlopers and the solution is to send them all home.
For blacks, it's more complicated as they wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the greed of the white society so the solution is to isolate and segregate.
None of this would have been possible if whites looked on the racial minorities as having issues that could collectively be solved. Onece they became "The Problem" then solutions were easy if not downright medieval.
There is no record of me not liking black people on this site. I live in the wrong town - DC - if that were the case. I merely point out the tactics/mindset of progressive liberals and much of it is calling the GOP a bunch of old white people and RACISTS to stir the emotions of their voting base. They have nothing of relevance to offer so they toss out the daily hate rants and much of that entails RACE. Why not? It's a cheap and easy shot sure to raise controversy when someone posts it to these forums.
Conservatives don't care about skin color yet liberals remind us everyday where their minds are.
Deep in the race bait bucket looking for worms.
