Why are racists so afraid of being labled racist?

Just like pedophiles.

 

If you say so.

 

to be fair, i dont think a lot of ppl even know they are racist and it's scarey once you realize how you live can get you in trouble if you meant no harm.

 

You'd be surprised at how subtle bigotry and hate can be. Some people don't even realize how hateful they really are being. One way to tell is if they think in a very limited fashion. For example, "if you don't agree with me then you're a monster".

People who think like that don't understand how hateful they really are.

 

Actually, racism can be linked to conservatism, and the thing is it doesn't apply only to white people.

The New Black Panthers, for example, are very conservative when it comes to race.

 

You only accused conservatives of being racist.. I didn't say you said all.

 

Racism can not be completely linked to conservatives.. That is what liberals would like for people to believe that conservatives are racist and liberals are blameless. The new black panthers may be conservative about their race but they are liberal in their beliefs. Believe it or not the NBP are racist.

 

Your right because conservatives don't commit crime.

When did racist stop murdering?

Actually I think I said not all conservatives are racist, but most racist are conservative. That would mean those who are left are either liberal or libaterian.

Why was Robert Blake acquitted? His good looks.

 

Yet you only mentioned conservatives until now.

 

Robert Blake was aqquitted because of a few reasons.

1; There was no evidence that he actually killed his wife. No gunshot residue, fingerprints on the gun used etc.

2; The two people that testified he had paid them to kill her were unable to give clear testimony. They could not recall specific details, and there were several holes in their stories.


There was simply not enough evidence to convict him.

That's not to say he didn't kill her, but here was reasonable doubt of his guilt and he had to be aquitted. The state did not put together a good enough case.

 

I am. I have no problem at all with hate. I live and breathe hate. I don't see hate as necessarily negative, and it is often positive.

Racism and hate have nothing to do with each other. It is possible to be extremely racist without hating anyone at all. Racism is bad even if no hate is involved at all. And there are lots of racists that don't hate other races.

 

Ah yes, but don't forget their mantra of 'personal responsibility'. You're poor because you made the wrong 'life choices' and therefore it's all your fault. Oh, and they are also suffering 'white genocide', I'm reliably informed.

 

I think it was a rhetorical question....

 

Yes, that he was comparing it to OJ and Michael Jackson which both had enough evidence to convict and were only acquitted because of immoral defense practices, and their fans being in the jury. Johnny Cochran was notorious for indirect evidence tampering, (like how he had OJ taking water pills to swell his hands so the bloody glove would not fit, to prepare his "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" defense.)

Robert Black actually had a lack of solid evidence on his side to lead to an acquittal. OJ and Michael Jackson did not.

 

Oh, yes they are - very afraid.

A 440 year Head Start Program is going to take a lot more than a mere 6 years to wear out. And, no - I am not a liberal apologist.

I guess you don't know much about the year 1528, or much about the name Esteban, and what his life was all about, nor what it would eventually mean for the United States of America over the next 486 years. Esteban, would be but one of many millions of human beings who would strongly disagree with you that somehow, falling back on Chris Mathews, has anything whatsoever to do with the realities of Racism in America.

LOL! That's really not funny, but all I could was laugh at the notion. My dear friend, just because Black Christian Churches are no longer being bombed by White Christian Supremacists (what an oxymoron - or just a moron that happens to be), does not in any way shape or form mean that there is less racism in the United States today, than there was in the summer of 1868. Today, racism has been cloaked; precisely the point of this thread by the way; and those who are racists don't really want you to know, while their behavior speaks volumes about who and what they are truly made of.

I therefore submit that there is more racism today, than there was at the height of Slavery. It just happens to exist in a different form, where those who practice it can cloak and de-cloak themselves in full plain view without almost anyone noticing - except those who know what they are looking at when they see it.

I don't precisely know what the left thinks, I'm neither left nor right - I just found the thread interesting enough to reply. But, I will say this in reply - it should be no surprise that a Racist's attitude and their belief system will contradict that of a Progressive on many different levels. Thus, the political and social "agenda" of a Progressive will by definition often times (though not always) be in direct contradiction to what the Racist's political and social agenda might be.

This point illustrates one of my ways for detecting the presence of a real Racist in the room. Typically, the racist will be the first one in the room to label affirmative and progressive ideals as being an "agenda," while not ever admitting and or realizing that the Racist also has an "agenda" that is cloaked.

In other words, one can out themselves just by the prose they put on display for analysis and historical comparison.

Naaaaa. Never. Who would do such a thing! That would be completely out of line and totally unjustified - I promise.

 

You didn't answer the OP's question, but you did a great job of making his point.

It's not a coincidence that a lot of the people who liked your post have been called out for their own racist behavior.
