Yes, Dave, I'm saying lefties, be they"liberals" "progressives' or
even just plain old Democrats, have a true racist mentality, one which
interprets everything in terms of the racial makeup of the people
involved.

That's not what a "racist" is. Get out your dictionary and look.

A racist is not one who sees conflicts in terms of racial makeup. It's one
who sees human *characteristics*, and an resulting superiority or
inferiority, as a consequence of race.

Someone who recognizes racism is likely to identify those issues as
conflicts based on race -- usually resulting from the racist attitudes of
one of the parties he's observing and commenting upon.

You have to be one to spot one, huh?

Just the opposite. Real racists often deny having any prejudice. They think
they're just reporting what "everyone" sees.

Often? Pretty much always in my experience. It tends to go like this -
"I'm not a racist because I have a insert minority friend,
acquaintance, etc, but insert blatantly racist statement.

they think they're just reporting what "everyone" sees.

Yup. Got a dose of it the other day from some acquaintances. Their
failure to think logically haunts everything they do, but they can't
see that either.
