I use to cringe at the term "racist" but in the last year I've gotten use to hearing it and it doesn't bother me at all...

That's the danger of over-using a word. It ultimately loses all meaning. The term "racist" can now mean anything from a rabid white supremicist to someone who simply doesn't agree blacks are owed reparations for slavery. There's some Ivy League professor (forget his name) who says ALL white people are AUTOMATICALLY racists because they enjoy "unearned benefits" from living in a society that has exploited nonwhites in the past. A white person would have to give away all his wealth (stolen from slaves); forget his education (slaves were denied education); and dye his skin (society equates white skin with beauty and goodness) to stop being a racist.

"ALL white people are AUTOMATICALLY racists"

actually I think that's the legal definition...

sooo...if I'm white and someone hate's me because of
the color of MY skin...what are they????

like members of La Raza and MeCha...their platform sounds pretty damn racist to me...
