Reply #39: I love it! It's officially impossible to be racist! According to white folks at least. [View All]

White folks have consistently raised the bar on what was required in order to conclude that a white person was racist. For awhile it was stable: as long as they didn't say "nigger", then some excuse or other could be given, invalidating any accusation of racism.

(Yah, it's stupid, but that's how white folks reason about racism - don't shoot the messenger.)

But now that white folks have shielded themselves from 99.99% of all racism accusations, they feel the need to protect that .01% all the more keenly. It's rather like white folks' treaties with the Native Americans. Even after white folks had control over 99% of the US, white folks STILL wanted more. Similarly, now there's a massive push to raise the racism-accusation bar out of existence altogether. And the OP is an excellent example of this.

Now even talking about fork-based lynching and calling someone "nigger" over and over and over isn't evidence that you're racist.

One can only imagine the weight racism places upon one's psyche, that people are willing to go to such transparently idiotic lengths to will it gone.

Gotta love racism-denying DUers - ya just gotta.
