Did you actually click on it? You have to do that to read the material, you realize that right?

Read the whole thing. According to the dictionary:

rac·ism
–noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

None of that was in your link.

Maybe you could point out the part that makes her racist. Something convinced you. What was it? In addition, you need to show that whatever it was still applies to her in 2008. I thought a lot of things in college I no longer think. So even if she were a racist in college (and I've seen no evidence of that), that does not make her one 20 years later.

She made a comment when she was in Iowa that it was beautiful up there, but if she lived there she would need a gun? If any white candidate had said that about a predominately black area, would they not be quickly branded a racist? Or do you support the liberal double standard?

They likely would be. But that wouldn't mean they were actually racist. You can brand someone anything you want (even you are doing it). The fact someone calls you something has very little bearing on whether it's true. That requires actual facts. To be racist:

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that even a verified photo of her lynching a White man spewing forth hate speech all the while would not convince you, so I will stop wasting my time here. Have a nice day!

Well, by all means provide the photo. But you can't. In fact, you can't produce ANYTHING she's done that meets the definition of racism. Nothing. You just want her to be racist. Sorry, that's not enough.
