    How does that make it easier? Much easier if they pretend to not be racists, like the democratic party. Then you can get them on their hypocrisy. A self-avowed racist can't be crushed that way, so you've got a much tougher row to hoe with them.

    Good luck!

    Farrakhan is one person. Black Panthers? I distinctly remember them referring to him as a "half breed". I doubt many of them liked him.

    I can't speak for other racists but for me, I have always been overtly racist (and I love every minute of it).

    P.S. I am not an American.

    Just remember about the Trayvon Martin affair with George Zimmerman,
    how it stirs the nation. Multiply that a many fold and you well see what I mean.

    I think it is completely inappropriate for a teacher, who has so much influence on young minds, to exhibit personal political feelings of any kind, good or bad. Where is the ETHICAL training? Where are the boundaries? Furthermore, we all need to be taught to respect the office of the President.
    Here's a snip from Wikipedia:
    There is also this:
    .

    There's a lot of that hate speech going around -- a California teacher just had her class enact a skit she'd written where they were called upon to assassinate President Trump. But she still has her job and no one's talking about it much.

    That said - and I mean it sincerely - why is it a racist comment to call Michelle Obama a gorilla? If she'd called Hillary a gorilla, would it still be racist? Sorry, I don't get it.

    I think the word "racist" is so over used and mis-used, that it is becoming meaningless.
    Calling someone a racist is like calling them a murderer. It should be used only when true.
    Maybe the people who keep tossing it about need to take some vocabulary building classes.

    Seems like the answer to the question in the OP is yes and yes going by this post.

    It's all to do with history. Somewhere in this thread I've already replied to the same sort of post as post so please forgive me for not repeating my previous post, Calling Michelle Obama any other animal would have been fine.
