If You deny someone a constitutional right based upon the color of their skin, or incite others, to deny people their constitutional rights, based upon the color of their skin, you would be committing a racist act.
The word racist has become a catchall phrase used to discredit people. If a news commentator accuses someone of being a racist, everyone is supposed to accept it as the truth.
If your next-door neighbor is a pompous ass and you say, “I despise my next-door neighbor”, are you a racist? Would it make a difference if your neighbor was Black or if you said, “I despise that Black neighbor”? It shouldn’t. However, you could be so labeled if the nosy neighbor across the street, took your words out of context and simply started a rumor accusing you of being a racist.
If you distrust young Blacks and they distrust old White men, are you all racists? No, you’re realists. Studies prove that the angriest people in our country are young Black men and old White men. When old White cops confront young Black men, it’s a conflict in search of an excuse.
Distrust is not racism nor is skepticism; both are essential tools for self-preservation. If you don’t want to hang out with people of other races, you’re not a racist? Not any more than I’d be a racist for not wanting to hang out with you and your democratic party friends.
Real racism can be found in prison populations, where violent inmates ban together by race for domination and/or self-preservation. It’s seared into the souls of those who have been abused by people of another color.
A good honky joke and a good Black joke shared between black and White friends do more to ease racial tensions then all the preaching of our wannabe racial leaders.
The biggest racists in America today are the people who call everything and everyone else racist. They drone on-and-on about racial differences and ignore all that we have in common.
