>>> Yes, it is. He is suggesting that a normal physical trait for her ethnicity is actually a sign of obesity and she should not be talking about health and food. He is further suggesting that a small booty is the norm and the only one that determines health and thinness. In his feeble and little mind, the small booty is the gold standard. That is racism. Until you all get that concept, we will be having these conversations well into the future. None of which has the slightest thing to do with racism. Racism - a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. This is precisely the opposite of what the man said, i.e., that her fat butt was a result of the way she eats. And for all you know, it IS. But he didn't even acknowledge the existence of a trait or characteristic related to her ethnicity, let alone, suggest that it somehow affected her achievement or lack of it. As I said, you do not understand the meaning of the term. Which makes sense, because you run around here spouting racism all the time and don't even know you're doing it.

Atheist racism becomes more overt with each passing day: Update on the Politician Who Facebooked the Obama Threat Saying Assassinate That F**ing Nr and his Monkey Children Home - by BigFurHat - December 21, 2011 - 22:30 America/New_York - 18 Comments The leftosphere had a field day saying the guy was “a Tea Party Darling”? At the time I asked, where? I never heard of the guy before. Turns out, get this, he’s anti-Tea Party. He’s a libertarian atheist who had a site called SupportAtheism.com** Warner Todd Huston, writing for the CanadaFreePress reports - The best coverage of this seems to come from a left-winger blog called Angry Black Lady Chronicles. Left-wing or no, the poster there did a good job tracking down all the particulars of the story and comes to the proper conclusion that this nutcase, Jules Manson, has no connection whatever with the Tea Party movement. As DeHavelle notes, Manson has statements showing him to be anti-Tea Party, even. Not only that but Manson was the editor of SupportAtheism.com. So, he’s not religious, either. This guy seems to be quite far from the Tea Party movement. Sadly, what we see here are all sorts of bloggers and news sources leaping to a story, labeling a kook, but not taking the time to get down to the truth before hitting that post now button. We saw this when that criminal, mental case shot Gabrielle Giffords, as well. That shooter was labeled a Tea Partier even before anyone even knew his name. How one can claim they know a person’s entire history before they even know a name… well, that one was never explained to me. iowntheworld.com
