Years ago, it was hard to be a racist. You had to be fitted for and spend money on a white gown and don a pointy hat. You celebrated racism by getting some burlap, wrapping it around a cross, setting it ablaze and dancing around it carrying torches. Sometimes, as did Lester Maddox, you had to buy axe handles for yourself and your supporters to wield to forcibly turn away black customers from your restaurant. Or, as in the case of Theophilus "Bull" Connor, you had to learn to direct fire hoses and vicious police attack dogs against civil rights demonstrators.
Younger racists, along with their parents, had to memorize poems for whenever a black student showed up for admission to their high school or college. For example, "Two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate!" Of course, there were a host of racial slurs and epithets that could be hurled, with impunity, at any black person in your presence. In earlier times, you didn't have to be sophisticated, but it took a bit of work, to be a racist.
Today, all that has changed. To be a racist today takes little effort. For example, one can sit back in his easy chair and declare that he's for across-the-board tax cuts. That makes you a racist. If you don't believe me, think back to 1994 when the Republican-led Congress pushed for a tax-cut measure. Former U.S. House of Representatives member Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., denouncing the Republicans' plan before a Manhattan audience as a form of modern-day racism said: "It's not 'spic' or 'n-----' anymore. (Instead,) they say, 'Let's cut taxes.'" A few months later, he compared the GOP's "Contract with America" to measures in Nazi Germany saying, "Hitler wasn't even talking about doing these things."
One can be labeled a racist through a set of "microaggressions" listed in "Diversity in the Classroom, UCLA Diversity & Faculty Development" from 2014.
Here are a few statements one should avoid: "You are a credit to your race." "Wow! How did you become so good in math?" "There is only one race, the human race." "I'm not racist. I have several Black friends." "As a woman, I know what you go through as a racial minority."
But most instances of microaggressions are less overt. There are college microaggressions such as a male student rolling his eyes when a female student speaks, or people not wanting to be in study groups with those of different races.
Perhaps the easiest way to be labeled a racist is to suggest that a wall be built on our border with Mexico in order to keep people from Mexico and points south from entering our nation illegally. Also, a slam-dunk charge of racism is to say that the standard practice of separating children from parents is Nazi-like. But imagine you are stopped with your child in the car and charged with a DUI in any of our 50 states. You're going to be arrested and your child taken to protective child services. The identical practice on our southern border becomes racism.

There are. I don’t care anymore. I may enjoy being a racist. Who knows? I spent decades not being racist and all it ever got me was being called a racist.
”I have a dream. That one day we will be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin”
The libs don’t get this. “All lives matter” is racist, it has to be “Black lives matter”.
I can remember when Daryl Dawkins of the Philadelphia 76ers called HIMSELF - “CHOCOLATE THUNDER “. Life was much simpler then.
Relish the label if assigned to you and wear it with pride. There are some awfully fine people that have been called “racists”. After standing back looking at the situation, I had rather be numbered with the vast majority of those labeled as “racist” than with those who make the accusations.
A much more up to date example of racism that Dr. Williams does not mention is the “knock-out” game where blacks randomly batter whites for the sole reason that they are white.
My cat told me she doesn’t want to be called a cat anymore. She said from now on she wants to be known as a ‘’Feline-American’’.
THAT’S MY QUESTION! What is THAT THING holding the sign?
How to become a racist in two easy steps.
1. Breathe in.
2. Breathe out.
Congratulations. Hate mail is on its way to you.

There’s only one way to render the charge harmless - embrace the insult.
Aren’t you automatically racist if you were born a hetero Caucasian?
Today is the day that I became an official Racist.
On Twitter a Libtard Posted a picture of POTUS Trump and a Monkey when responding to an stupid Ann Coulter “separated at birth” Twitter Post showing a picture of that New Age Commie in the Debate and a picture of Michael Jackson.
I pointed out that he Posted the wrong picture. I said he should have Posted a picture of the crooked incompetent Congressman who represents Baltimore.
I am awaiting he cavalcade of hateful responses and possible suspension from Twitter as I type this.
Oops. He Posted a “separated at birth” picture of POTUS Trump and a Monkey.
