"The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... HB, could you do me a favor and define "racist"? I see the word tossed around a lot by a lot of people and I'm curious as to what the definition is or what exactly you believe it means. I'm not trying to be mean or nasty to you but I'm really curious about what the word "racist" signifies, implies to or is defined by different people. I've noticed that the word is often used when something said or written provokes a strong emotional response from certain people. Please enlighten me. Although I agree "racist" is an accusation thrown around too often, in this case you need look no further than this poster's name for the President--"uncle tombama"--to understand why he is perceived as having racist motives. If he can't criticize Obama without referring to his race that is a big old clue to how he thinks. I disapprove of some things the President and his administration have done (or failed to do) but I seem to be able to express my disapproval without making reference to the color of the President's skin, same as with every previous President. Someone who cannot do that, who is compelled to refer to President Obama's race, well, they're revealing something about themselves. |

That requires the poster to believe Obama could be expected to run his administration in a certain way because he's black, and to believe that black Americans voted for him because they expected him to take care of them and are disappointed because he didn't play racial favorites once he was in the Oval Office. On every count that too is racist. Either way "Uncle Tombama" is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed: "LOOK AT THE RESULTS, MORON BUTTLICKER." I mean, does that sound like someone you'd like to be seated next to on a long plane flight? |

It's a simple question and it seems that folks with a certain political predilection can not define an uncomplicated word. It strikes me that what I've read about certain individuals using emotional processes rather than rationality to think things through and control their behavior must be true. It's a bit disappointing to see minds wasted in such a way but there is a real need for differing points of view in a healthy society. The need for opposition and disagreement is real and necessary for us all to keep us alert and aware of what's going on in the world around us. It is a matter of survival and I'm glad it exists.

When white people vote for white candidate because he's
white, that's racist. When black people vote for black candidate because he's black, that's NOT racist. Now, do you understand? (I don't, either.) -- Christopher A.

That seems to be the liberal standard. Never answer the
question. Laura Ingraham had a Lib/Dem congressman on, couple of days ago. I'm not sure if Charlie Rhangel (lib dem from NYS) answered any of the questions. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... You responded to the wrong post so I suppose you revealed your IQ. You couldn't define "racist" either. Liberalism must be a mental disease like the ranting irascible rascal on the radio said. ^_^ TDD |
