What does that lyric mean to you, tree?

Motion to merge this thread with Tha Mayonnaise Wars

It means he was luckily born into a good situation. As I asked before, if I were born into a tremendously unlucky situation and struggled my entire life, would that override my pale skin and cancel out my racism?

That is a serious discussion, jorge. Motion denied.

My wife has a lot of Lebanese in her but looks mostly white... is she a racist too?

Thanks for the explanation. How about this: I'm born into a bad situation then pull myself up by my bootstraps and find success and happiness. Would I be racist then?

How's this thread going?

I have a headache.

"I'm not a racist" says the man who used the term pulled myself up by my bootstraps.

I want to know, according to you guys, what percentage of people do you think are racist? What are your qualifiers? I'm so confused.

This is like asking, "How about this: I wake up and feel hungry, and so I go to the store and buy an orange. Does that mean I have diabetes?"

Joe you'd clear up a lot if you'd just tell me your definition of racism.
