All of you who run around crying about "racism" in others would be better off tending to your own gardens. We have had black millionaires, black billionaires, black Senators, black Supreme Court justices, and of course, a black president. Nothing is holding anybody back in this country except criminality, illegitimacy, substance abuse, violence, high drop-out rates, and poor attitudes. And no amount of racial virtue signalling can change that.
Only you can fix your life. It is about the choices that you make.
NOPE, that makes you racist. Assuming a correlation between race and criminal behavior by definition makes you racist.
Assuming nothing. The data on criminal behavior reveals the relationship.
And by definition, which definition are you referring to? LOL. Some liberal rag you follow calls everything racist so now every discussion about racial differences is inevitably de facto "racist".
Do you actually not understand the difference between "assuming" and observing or being aware of something? Or did you just think throwing "assuming" in there was a clever tactic?
He apparently thought he could dress up his ignorant pretensions at knowing what the definition is by tossing in a big word.
When a racist can see the error of their ways through a member of a race they hate, that is beautiful. This applies even a racist Native American, Asian, or Black.
When people ask how they can help fight against racism, asking for tips from a former racist is a way to start.
This is another post that reminds me that hunting for racism is the new witch hunts. "We know you're a racist. Confess your sins and repent!"
Haha burn the racist! I know someone who married an Asian woman and he I know he is a "racist". You can judge or accept an individual from any race but that doesn't mean you are relatively favorable of the entire racial group nor do you have to be.

Hang on...where did you get the idea he was a "racist"? That's not in the article. Nor does it say anything about hating anyone.
I'm curious to find out what happens when you liberals read? Its like the words on the page somehow get all jumbled up in your head and comes out all angry and paranoid.
And, occasionally, there are these hopeful stories:
A Friendship for a More Tolerant America
A white Navy veteran fessed up to his prejudices and the black president of a progressive think tank suggested ways to transcend them.
By Daniel Smith
“What can I do to change?” he asked plaintively. “You know, to be a better American?”
It's great that a racist (if he thought he was, he probably was) wants to change his thinking. I applaud his new awareness and desire to change.
But that reading list he went to? Good Lawd! Racialist propoganda. Like the crap Glen Singleton and Pacific Education Group is infecting our schools with (to great profit I may add).
And 3 books by Cornel "small "c" communist" West?
The answer to shedding knee jerk racist attitudes (as a white person, per the linked article) is not to drown yourself in white guilt and self loathing, but much simpler. Treat and approach individuals one at a time (and not through the left's collective guilt approach) and the truth will then be apparent. You will find that race is completely irrelevant to a person's character, worth and value.
I think MLK said it well (a man I respected for many reasons).
"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Sound advice.
That article is utter crap.

Yeah really it's replacing one racist viewpoint with another. Oftentimes you'll find anti-racism to be thinly veiled reverse racism.

There is no such thing as "reverse racism". It's just racism. The left has been somewhat clever, changing the definitions and meanings of language to meet their own ends.
And the veil isnt thin, it's transparent. It's not even worn anymore in some quarters. It's monitized, ordained, legislated, (and worse off), accepted by many.
