Absolutely, I agree with you in every respect... And you said it very well, that "those who perceive my comments as racism must believe that all Blacks look like apes, otherwise, they would not perceive it as racism." Exactly, in order to consider any statement as racist, the listener must already have the notion of racism already fixed in their mindset... This reminds me of an interesting point from school... my doctoral dissertation had all to do with clinical and experimental hypnosis... one of the things I found is that in those societies and cultures where the concept of hypnosis does not exist, you cannot hypnotize anyone because the people there do not know how to "act" hypnotized... Racism is a pre-conceived notion in the mind of the beholder, it can only exists when the racist himself is looking for racism... GZ
