No sir! I am sick of this and I will not let this one go any further.
You claim racism where there is none. You think that because someone disagrees with you or your president that they have to be racist and you automatically paint them with that brush.
Here is the thing.
When you do that you pay a disservice to them and to yourself. It is, in fact, YOUR words and actions that are the racist ones.
If you want to have a discussion, you have to be willing to accept that the other people in the discussion may have opposing views for any number of reasons.
In order to have racism, the racist HAS to see the color of the skin or the difference in race AND they have to think that somehow that confers upon them superiority over the other. In order to have racism you have to prejudge someone by assuming that the person whom you have never met fits into a preconceived mold that you have created.
This is not what [we] are doing here. The only way for racism to really exist is for people to see the difference and think that means something.
Now I don’t know about anyone else, but you aimed this response at me so I am going to speak for me.
You have NO idea who I am.
You do not know what I look like or what I have, or have not done.
You do not know my friends or what service I may have given in life.
For you to label me the way you have is to prejudge me without meeting me. You assume facts not in evidence which makes you as bad as those who ARE racist.
In fact you, by your attack and words, show yourself to be opinionated and arrogant making your decisions and opinions AND judgments based on bigotry, hatred and a preconceived notion of what is or isn’t going on.
All of that is the very definition of racism. Then on top of that you have the gall to claim that it is others who are being racist.
For the record, you, and others like you, who are so quick to claim racism, come across as narcissistic, prideful idiots.
And I have an issue with that.
It is exactly attitudes like yours that led to some of the worst crimes and wars in history.
How do you think the British Civil war got started? Arrogance and self serving leaders. How about , the Salem witch trials? Or McCarthyism? All came from fear of those who disagreed as well as pride and a refusal to accept others, and their ideas, as different.
What about the French Revolution? Pride, Arrogance and a refusal to allow a voice to the disenchanted while putting them down. (sound familiar? “you’re only against Obama because of his race.” Marginalizes and refuses to accept that people are unhappy, WITH THE ISSUES, while putting those people down! )
What about the Revolutionary war? Or The American Civil war, The Inquisition, Tienanmen square, Watergate, Vietnam, World war 1, World war 2, Korea, Operation Desert storm/ Desert shield?… the list is much longer, and all comes from a failure to talk, a failure to accept difference, or a failure to face reality!
But I guess that does not matter to you since it is easier to just glibly assume things about people with no real evidence just because YOU “HAVE to be right” no matter what.
