Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me, is that childhood mantra that no longer seems to be true. Is it time to modify the old saying to Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will drive me crazy?
It seems that the price for not being labeled a racist is merely our silence. Should we find anything at all wrong with the shooting of an Arizona deputy sheriff or the murder of rancher Bob Krentz we will have to wear the label. If we just look the other way as Mexican criminals including members of the Barrio Azteca gang and others flow across our borders we can avoid the dreaded racist label. Lets not forget to ignore the tons of life destroying drugs that are inundating the borders. Which is it: are we a nation of drug heads or racists, not much of a choice for anyone is it?
Complaining about the cost of welfare programs and education for a half million illegal aliens in Arizona can get you the label too but perhaps even worse just using the words illegal alien could get you a new name in the eyes of the left leaners. Truthfully; those who cry racist are not trying to drive anyone crazy but they are trying to silence those with whom they disagree. It is a sort of final word, a character assassination that cuts off any further debate and argument. Labeling whole groups of people racist is a socially collective cheap shot, it is cowardly.
It appears that the racist label can be used in a very selective way.(continued)

Actions speak louder than words anyway.
Love that line.
The Right Reverend is correct.
I am not a racist. You’re just saying that because I’m white.
You’re right.
Being called a racist today would result in a reply of, “Yeah. Okay. Whatever”.
There was someplace I read on the internet that the kids that called Phoebe Prince an “Irish slut” were guilty of racism. Huh ??????
My standard reply to those who try to pull that nonsense:
“I’m sorry - your race card has been declined due to a lack of credibility in your ‘Race Advantage’ account. Please destroy all of the cards in your possession. New ones will not be re-issued on this account in your lifetime.”
The expression on my face after I deliver something along those lines is usually enough to forestall further nonsense. I mean - why be nice to these fools? I’m done with that.
1969 was the pinnacle for the white male, the conquest of the moon. I guess that was too much for some to take.

But it worked so well for the other group for so long.
Why should those with a lighter shade of racism not give it a shot?
Until whites stand up as whites this will never stop. They are using race as the battering ram to destroy our nation and us.
Either ignore the label, or wear it as a badge. Name-calling is all they have on the left. There is no logic.
