I mean, in the entire history of RM, luNY has never made anything approaching a sane post, but the "defending yourself against accusations of racism makes you a racist" is exactly the fucktarded liberal illogic that makes me want to throw half the country's population out of a helicopter.
that's a good and deep reason to knock off half the world's population

i'd wipe out half just because
It would take a really big helicopter, but Elon Musk is probably working on something as we type.

What about:

"If you constantly find yourself in situations where you are trying to convince others you’re not a racist...

Well...."

I think it's really just if you ever have to qualify a statement by reassuring everyone that you're not a racist butt.

"I'm not a racist butt. Black people kneeling during a song is a real problem for me."
"I'm not a racist butt. Hispanic immigrants need to integrate into my culture better."

You are probably a racist butt.

yea, but the problem is the people who jump immediately to "you're a racist butt" when you simply disagree with them.

person 1: there is a problem with police brutality, but i don't believe that all cops are racists
person 2: die you fucking nazi scumbag racist butthole

and that's barely an exaggeration in some cases

The biggest problem, is that people use "racism" to cover prejudice and stereotyping, which are both very different.

Racist: believing that a particular race is superior to another.

Prejudice: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

Stereotype: a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

None of these are good, but everyone has prejudices. That doesn't make them racist.

He kneeled, which is great because I support and agree with the cause, but it's not like he even fucking kneeled during the anthem, so what's the big deal?

Also, thanks S/T for your posts.
