I am reminded of what I posted in 2010:


Your comment reminds me of something I heard Dr Martin Luther King Sr say on the Phil Donahue show years ago. He was speaking to the difference between prejudice and racism

[paraphrased]
Prejudice is a normal human emotion in that everyone seeks out people like themselves. It has been that way since the beginning of time. People are more comfortable with people ‘just like them.’ If one recognizes this and accepts it as normal, one can begin to reach out to others without being coerced or forced to do so. They will reach out because it is the right thing to do.

Racism is defined by hatred.

It was one of the wisest statements I have ever heard and has stayed with me to this day. The term racist has been thrown around so much it has lost its orginal meaning.


So the answer is No. It is not racist.

how about those television commercials for dating sites that a limited to one particular skin color? Any other group would be called racist.

If you believe that you have Freedom of Association, you are obviously a racist bigoted homophobe.

Ask me if I care what is or isn’t racist.

I prefer white girls.

One in particular these days
