>> That was really phony. He used the N-word to make a point His racism, and yours, stems from the need to constantly identify a person as being white or black or whatever. Here in the Deep South, where many of us grew up with racism, we know what it is and isn't. I've personally seen victims of racist violence -- something you've likely never seen. I'm not talking about name-calling here. There is a another kind of racism that is much more harmful than name calling, and that is the kind practiced by you and tejek, a kind of insidious form that sneaks into the conversation. This racism is where you feel a constant need to tell us that someone was "black", "white", "Hispanic", or whatever. While it seems harmless, it serves to create a racial distinction almost subliminally that simply wouldn't exist otherwise. After a while, you're being racist and you don't even notice it. This is what tejek and you have become. Every person is identified as black or white. Any action or inaction is deemed a function of blackness or whiteness, and no person stands alone without his color code. His accomplishments, as in the case of Obama, are deemed by you to be a function of his blackness, not of his own colorless accord. His or her failures are not a result of failing, but are a result of his or her skin color. For those of us who witnessed the violence of racism close up, the insidious racism being practiced by the Left today is a tragic failing of the civil rights era. It was going to lead us to color blindness and unfortunately, there has just been a change: Before, only racists were racist. Today, liberals are.
