Still beating that horse? Those Democrats were no more like today's Democrats than pre-1960s Republicans were like today's Republicans. There's a reason why the once-Democratic "Solid South" is now solidly Republican -- and not any reason that reflects well on the GOP.
No. We cannot. At least I cannot.
People can speak poorly of others without race being the driving factor.
I used to be heavy metal and now I'm country and both have black artists that I embrace.
They both have a lot of white people who just suck.
As a minority, if I say they suck (to me),
is that then Racism too?
One standard.
Y'all have used that word with such frequency
and so often over the least of trifles out of mere disagreement
that you have rendered the word inert, powerless and damning, not to your target,
but to you (and by you, I mean the general, not the specific, you.)
It just makes it hard to take anyone seriously who has
to use that word out of context and definition.
Racism has a specific definition, but all too often it is used instead of
the word that actually fits the intended use and that is Racialist.
In general, people who hurl the word Racist are
actually Racialists trying to cow opposition.
You're not shaming anyone
other than yourself.
Renard might be a Racialist, but he's in a large crowd in that respect.
