“but I hope this wasn’t bogus.”
It is. Blacks, racist, corporations, guaranteed to be bogus.
What this is about is that liberals think blacks should not have criminal background checks for employment because so many of them are criminals, and checking their criminal status is “racist”.
You are right.
“Racist” has come to mean anything that puts a black or a brown in a negative light, regardless of how truthful it is.
A secondary definition is: failure to give a black or a brown whatever they want when they want it, irrespective of whether or not it’s deserved or warranted in any way.
Bingo!
