Is someone a racist? The Republican Party of Iowa posted a controversial flowchart Friday night on the topic.

The Republican Party of Iowa briefly posted a photo on its Facebook page t of a flowchart asking readers to determine "Is Someone A Racist?"

The flowchart first asked if the person was white or not white. If they weren't white, they were automatically not a racist. If they were, it then asked "do you like them?" If the answer was yes, they were also not a racist. However, if the answer is no, then "they are racist." The flowchart also noted "if you think this flowchart isn't funny, then this flowchart is racist."

It was posted by the official Iowa GOP Facebook account at 8:00pm EST on Friday night with the message "Because it's Friday night and we don't need serious political posts on Friday night we are sharing this. Happy Friday and LIKE and SHARE! Unless you think the chart is racist, then don't."

After the flowchart was brought to the Republican Party of Iowa's attention, it was quickly removed from the Facebook page.

to the folks that think like that. Like the rest of us don't read about it or hear about it. Nobody else matters. Because they only talk to people who think like they do they think people only think like they do.

"It was posted by the official Iowa GOP Facebook account at 8:00pm EST on Friday night with the message "Because it's Friday night and we don't need serious political posts on Friday night we are sharing this. Happy Friday and LIKE and SHARE! Unless you think the chart is racist, then don't." "

Mindless, really.

Or are we supposed to take some baseless comments by republicans at face value but not others?

Nah! No one here would be so hypocritical.
