Honestly, I wish EVERYBODY was like this. And my respect for you went up. That's being honest.
The KKK also claimed they were defending themselves and their families.

Why do white conservatives deny racism exists?
Because an Asian man named Robert Lee was pulled from announcing a game because of the racist nature of his name.

I think that covers it.

you're asking a bunch of people that start history at 1970 to discuss racism. This is what you get.

i call them as i see them, or at least try to. in all honesty, i think you used the wrong words in defending yourself. perhaps what you should have said is, i despise racism in all forms, and i dislike people that practice racism. however i selected my words carefully to show you, and others, how easily ones words can be used against them, even when they are actually innocently using them.

we have to be careful what we accuse people of, and we have to be careful judging people based on a few sentences in a political post.

from what i can tell, even though we tend to disagree on things, if we were to meet in person, i think we could very easily be friends.
Yeah that's what I wanted to convey. I don't take it lying down. I'm 1/2 southern European, it's a Mediterranean thing, nothing against anybody .

I get carried away a lot. That's my fault I would say. At least I can admit that.

I think so too. There's plenty of people on here that I would like to have a beer and barbecue with. That's why in real life, I NEVER EVER talk politics, and always change the subject. Cause I know I'll get carried away.

Here's the deal. I take every person one at a time regardless of anything. I treat them at least as good as they treat me.

But I will cross the street to avoid a group of young blacks but wouldn't bother with any other group. That's not racism, that's common sense.

I bet you avoid them too.

i think we all get carried away sometimes, even i do. but i always try to measure my words, even when i get carried away, because i want to get my point across and avoid insulting people. doesnt always happen though.

There are far more racists of other cultures than caucasions, yet caucasions are the ones that are guilt shamed by the left. All racism is bad but the left doesn't care about all racism, they care about white on (insert race here) racism.

This of course is from 50 years of social conditioning from the media. Other cultures didn't have the privilege of our "enlightened" globalist overlords telling them to not be racist.

That's one certain thing you can rely on in this forum. There's going to be at least 3-4 threads every day about race. You all are so infatuated with race, racism and skin color and anything and everything related to it. It's pretty funny and sad at the same time.

Yeah....but you will not acknowledge that the higher rate of crime most likely is the result of a history of racial oppression. Its racism to dismiss that the higher propensity of crime being a complication born from the legacy of racism and instead linking it to the nature of blacks.
