How do YOU define a "racist"?

And what do you mean by making people "insensitive to racism"? Seems like there are lots and lots of people posting on CD who are hypersensitive to racism and that's not changing from what I can tell. You, for one, seem to be very upset that anyone had a perception that you may be a racist.

He is a liar, that means he lacks character. He promised transparency in his administration. He promised to put up proposed legislation for the public to read prior to the vote.

Let me explain.

The position you take is so contrary to logic, so irrational that many people cannot fathom any reason that a supposedly intelligent person would cling to that position unless there was some hidden reason. The people think the most logical hidden reason -- the only reason short of the person being out of touch with reality, i.e., psychotic -- is that they hate seeing a black man in the White House. In fact, most people can't come up with any other explanation for such an illogical position beyond being a true nut case, being incredibly stupid, being highly gullible or being a racist. Please, if you have any other reason why you insist on ignoring facts and cling to your unsupported opinion which has no basis in reality, please enlighten us. Until you do that, don't be surprised if people call you nuts, easily duped, stupid or racist.

That is your opinion. I disagree. If people deign to call me easily duped, stupid, or racist, that makes me think they lack character.

No, that's not my opinion. I was expaining something to you.

And really, do you actually think that someone who believes you to be nuts, easily duped, stupid or racists cares if you think they lack character?? People who think that of you don't particularly care what you think of them. They don't think enough of you for your opinion of them to matter.

Absolutely. Amazing the rigid positions some people take in the very face of contradictory facts!

It's the one who say, "I ain't no racist!" After that statement they can spend hours foaming at the mouth pointing out all the mistakes, shortcomings, failures, arrogance, etc of people who aren't white.
Ask those who deny being racists what they think of racists. Well, um, er, ah, um, well, if, ah,....

None of you I bet. If anything, people don't understand the meaning of the word OR you have come accross as a raving lunatic and "racist" is just the nicest thing someone can call you.

Huh? He's got plenty of character, courtesy of people like Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Alinsky, Marx, Frank M. Davis, his mother, her parents.......they all shared the same attitude towards America, and were all quite responsible for the development of his "character."
