I have had many people of all colors and ethnicities ask me if I am racist. My answer is always the same: “Locally, no. I treat everyone I know and meet with dignity and respect. Globally, yes.” They then, of course, ask me what I mean by, “Globally, yes”. My answer is always as follows:
“When I see people like Race Hustler Sharpton, $hakedown Jackson and Obemba come on TV to cry about ‘racism’ then it makes me hate them because I do not see all of this ‘racism’ on the street when I meet people.”
They always tend to begrudgingly agree and say that they have never looked at the issue in those terms.

I fully intend to plagiarize this most excellent response to the question!
