are you a racist??? take the test CRACKERS!!
Are You More Racist Than You Think You Are?If there’s one thing America has no shortage of, it’s racist assholes. And one of the worst things about these people, apart from the fact that they’re racist, is that they typically have no idea just how racist they actually are. In fact, many will tell you quite the opposite.

I recently wrote an article about Beyoncé’s half-time show during the Super Bowl. The comments below said article are loaded to the brim with overtly racist Americans who clearly lack any comprehension of what racism is, let alone what makes them racists.

This gave me an idea. Below is a quiz consisting of ten questions. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: grab a pen and a piece of paper, read each question, and write down your answers. There’ll be an answer key at the bottom of the quiz. Use that key to determine whether you’re a racist. Pretty simple, isn’t it?

Answer Key!Okay, let’s take a look at your results and see how you did. You’re just moments away from knowing if you’re a racist dick or not. Exciting, isn’t it?

So… did you answer “A” to every single question above? If so, then congratulations, you’renot racist. But chances are, you already knew that.

But if you answered anything other than “A” to any single question, then I strongly recommend you head back to said question, read answer “A,” then spend the next few days of your life Googling that topic exhaustively (and by exhaustively, I mean looking at links that don’t merely confirm your bias). Why? Because you’re most likely a racist.

Some of you might just not be aware of current events… that’s not really your fault. If you weren’t sure what answer to pick for one or more of the answers above, you aren’t necessarily a racist. But definitely take the time to search the web for more information on these topics. Heck, most of that information can be found right here on Reverb Press. The more willing you are to learn, the less inclined you are toward racism. That’s a scientific fact, folks.
