I strongly disagree

I won't pretend to say something so stupid as I don't see color, but I don't believe I make any decision based upon race.

POLL: Are you a racist?

I have no idea what it even means to be a racist anymore.

Sock Gnome

7/5/19 2:25pm

That means you are one.

Holy Driver

7/5/19 2:26pm

Ok sure. Whatever you say.

Definition:

kimdaddy35

That's definitely NOT the definition by many people's standards anymore

Sock Gnome

7/5/19 2:28pm

Well that is the actual definition according to the dictionary

kimdaddy35

Humans are better than elves. So I guess I'm racist.

"No. Nevers" either lack self-awareness or are lying.

Prejudice and racism are two different things, IMO.

chago04

7/5/19 2:39pm

I don't think many understand the definition of prejudice

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 2:44pm

I strongly disagree

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 2:39pm

I believe you do.

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 3:00pm

I'm sorry that you think everyone thinks as you do. Honestly the hubris behind

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 3:07pm

I believe that everyone thinks that way from time to time

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 3:19pm

Funny you still don't get it. How many minds have you been in? How could

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 3:23pm

I don't think you get it.

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 3:35pm

How do you know how every other person on the earth thinks? I certainly don't

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 3:45pm

you aren't helping your case

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 3:56pm

See that is the difference. I have seen through 40+ years that people don't all

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 4:04pm

I have seen through 50+ years that there are some universal truths

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 4:22pm

You're not helping your case

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 4:23pm

clever

Sea Chicken

7/5/19 4:24pm

But that doesn't really mean that you are or aren't racist.

No definition was offered, so I used a common sense definition and passed the test

ColoSpgs

If any decision or assumption is made based on race, then you are racist.

SouthernCoug

7/5/19 2:33pm

I agree with most of that. But including physical attractiveness is absurd.

bluecougar1985

7/5/19 2:57pm

Or maybe not everything that he has included in what is a pretty reasonable definition of racist is intentional, overt,

mvtoro

7/5/19 3:00pm

So you believe that the dictionary definition of racist is not correct and that

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 3:09pm

No. I just have a different understanding of what language is than you seem to.

mvtoro

7/5/19 4:55pm

Man, it would be hard to have any sort of a conversation with you because I

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 5:08pm

Nope, only the words that aren’t clear and need specific meaning in the conversation.

mvtoro

7/5/19 5:22pm

And the country is what it is, not because people HAVE disagreements about things like racism and what it is, but

mvtoro

7/5/19 4:59pm

You may be right, but I sometimes fear that something as basic as attractiveness

SouthernCoug

One of the funniest posts I have read on CB

kimdaddy35

7/5/19 3:13pm

Well, though unintended, I'm glad I could be of some service.

SouthernCoug

7/5/19 3:22pm

I've known some people who were pretty attractive...

Eddie

7/5/19 3:16pm

I find that there are very attractive women in most races from my perspective.

bluecougar1985

7/5/19 3:26pm

So - if I think brunettes are super hot I'm a racist?

Eddie

7/5/19 3:02pm

Well, Eddie, I don’t think being brunette is classified as a race.

SouthernCoug

7/5/19 3:47pm

By your very broad definition of racism do you think that a larger percentage of black people in America are openly

mvtoro

7/5/19 5:08pm

Nope. I hate everyone regardless of race.

fortysixn3

7/5/19 2:44pm

That's my line.

Kerbouchard

7/5/19 3:01pm

Agreed. I’m an equal opportunity hater.

sgriff

7/5/19 5:14pm

Yeah, this is completely dependent on one’s definition of racism. I think there’s lots of racism in America and rather

Yesterday, I watched 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' with my son and some of his cousins.

Unintentionally, sure. Latent racism is all over the place, including, probably,

Jay Rick

Yes, I don't like Democrats. I know they are not a race but the description could slide over to fit.

Tarbo

Read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Research suggests EVERYONE is a little racists.

The word 'racist' hasa different meaning now. Racist NOW means harboring animous
