Ted,
The problem is people like you don't see it all.
Oh bullshit.

Zimmerman profiled Trayvon. Is that racist? Technically yes. Do black youths get a bum deal because of it? Of course. Is that a valid reason to convict Zimmerman of murder? No. Is that a valid reason to castigate Zimmerman and drive him into hiding for the rest of his life? No.

Adam Jones tweeted that a banana was thrown at him. Was that racist? No, Adam Jones never posted anything about race, and the guy who threw the banana said he was only expressing his frustration at the game and grabbed whatever was near him at the time. Only the media drew a "connection" between this incident and some isolated incidents in the past where bananas were used in racial taunts in sports.

Both of these were used as examples by SilentZ to "prove" that I deny racism whenever I can. But it can be argued that racism is being overplayed in these two examples.

I point this out, only to have the white libtards on this thread tell me that I'm "denying that racism exists at all." This is complete bullshit, and I should not have to defend myself from such ludicrous accusations, except for the fact that this is the legacy of political correctness and that I'm forced to deal with it.
