If you have to preface your remarks with proof of how not racist you are guess what?

Yeah I'm gonna disagree here. I call out ignorant people all the time at my business by saying half our staff is black when they accuse of being racis towards black. I wasn't aware I was being a racist.

You're answering a charge, not prefacing opening comments.
 
Man. It seems very difficult for New Republicans around here to simply say the guy was an asshole for castigating a family in public for no good reason. Sheesh.

With respect, your comment expresses either extraordinary ignorance of history or is just disingenuous.

I wonder if he goes around asking those who wear sunglasses, jackets, or hats indoors why they are doing that. To then go on an abortion tangent is equally bizarre, made even more laughable by claiming that because his wife is Mexican that means something.

Notice how many of our resident Righties didn't want to deal with this story and had to make it about Biden or BLM or even me? Racists are SO obvious, and then they try to pretend as if they ain't :rolleyes:
 
I wonder how many times I've heard the, "Now, I'm not a racist, but..." thing.

What's obvious is Woolford's rather odd way of thinking about racism. By saying he has a Mexican wife doesn't mean anything to a black family in terms of his views on race, because his wife might be a white Mexican (she appears to be a Mestiza); racial groups and ethnic groups are two different things. It also assumes that because one isn't prejudiced against one race that means it applies across the board; racism/prejudice is a bit more varied than that.

AMEN!

Instead they want to talk about BLM and Biden, as if THIS story has anything to do with BLM and Biden.

Common decency would dictate that what this moron in the story did and said was WRONG, but we can guess why Righties can't admit that ;)

Honestly, how did the GOP openly embrace racism? It is such idiocy. But then again, they are the 'master' race with their beer bellies and incest. This nation needs a cull.

Yeah.....sorry but people calling me "racist" just really doesn't mean a darn thing to me. That word has been so overused by Race Hustlers and whiners so as to be 100% nonsensical and meaningless at this point.

I avoid living in minority neighborhoods because I have been there and done that in my younger years, and I see the horrific crime, grime, filth and violence in those areas.
Any decent person of any creed or color will avoid them if they can afford to, and the statistics tell us why. Not because of "racism", but because of realities on the ground.

Do you feel that property values fluctuate up and down due to realities on the ground...or "racism"?
