As I suspected, bad definition. Liberals are about social issues as much as economic issues. I don't believe a liberal can be a racist. Or rather a racist can't be a liberal.

as for using the word n**ger, dont give me any of your bs you know as well as i do anybody throwing that term around would be labeled a racist in a heartbeat. I know what real racism is above and beyond using one word, the people I am talking about perpetuate every stereotype there is.
I assume you are speaking only of white people.

People of all races have racists or a better way to say it, racists come in all colors.

Not all gays want to be married.
Not all Christians hate gays.
Not all Muslims hate America.
Not all Liberals are pro-choice.
Not all Conservatives are against a single payer system or universal health insurance/coverage/care.
Not all Liberals are for marriage equality for same sex couples.

The list can go on.

It's better to get to know people as people first and labels second.
It's easier said than done.

It doesn't seem like you've been here long OP. Stick around and try to learn a few things. =]
Well stated, Purple!

I have met a few liberals that struck me with racist vibes.
"Of course we should put the best teachers in minority neighborhoods in order to help out the minority children." "We need affirmative action because without it minorities couldn't get anywhere."

Liberals can even be homophobic too.

"I don't have a problem with gays getting married. Just don't force me to be around any gays."

I lean more liberal than conservative, am very ambivalent about unions, don't like "big government spending" if that means waste, usually vote Democratic. IMO, anyone who uses the word n**ger is a racist.

Lose what? I have no idea what you are talking about and why you quoted me with that tirade.

I find myself thinking -- and posting -- that a lot lately.
