Being called racist is a trap avoided best by an aggressive offensive response. Take pride in your homophobia. Never be bullied.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?”
said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d
better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy
scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we
mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The
only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t
enough criminals one makes them. One declares so
many things to be a crime that it becomes
impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s
there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or
objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of
law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now
that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game,
and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to
deal with.”
- Ayn Rand, 1957 -
“Your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of witchcraft confirms that you are guilty of witchcraft.”
That fact that you drowned in the Dunking Stool is incontrovertible proof of your guilt.

I simply avoid talking to leftist extremists. Life is short. Why waste time trying to reason with moral and intellectual juvenile delinquents?
Sounds like “captious.”
Since the new definition of “racist” is one who is disagreeing with any liberal about any topic, I now proudly proclaim that I am a “racist”.
Sounds like little more than a new term for “Kafkaesque”.
Somehow this “white privilege” thing isn’t putting any stacks of cash in my freezer. What’s the deal?
This post is spot on!
You see it here on Freepers frequently particularly with the 'racism' charge as people fall all over themselves denying they are racist!
It also takes on a second form. The 'not me it's them'! If it is not denied it is pointed out that 'they are the real racist' Which also is a form of 'proof'.

My standard response is “please define what you mean by XXX and explain why you think I’m XXX”. That tends to deflate them.
I was doing Asphalt ‘Consulting’ work for a friend of mine that had just started a Company and my ‘job’ was to help him set it up and use my ‘contacts’ to sort of open doors for him.
Clinton was Prez and he kept saying he never had it better but he had always struck me as a Reagan fan.
Oh, I forgot to mention he was a Black, College Graduate, former NFL player - Offensive lineman.
He was a good guy and one of his problems was he was so ‘big’ he was intimidating to many people, so that is where I came in, I was the ‘bumper’.
He would tell me he was from the ‘Hood’ but I do know for a fact that his Mother and Father raised him, his 7 brothers and 2 sisters as ladies and gentlemen, 4 or 5 played in the NFL - one a standout for the Eagles for a few years. They all graduated High School and believe they ALL had at least a couple years of College.
I tried to ‘avoid’ racial topics when I could but sometimes it was impossible to skirt the issue and one in particular was when we were discussing ‘Affirmative Action’.
I conceded him the fact that when I was coming up, AA was probably not a bad idea for deserving people BUT we were at the age that I needed a ‘good explanation’ why he, a College Graduate, Former NFL ‘star’, should be allowed access for his children to ‘free college’ etc when in the same time frame of growth, 17-26 or so, I had played sailor for a bit less money than he was making - Though it was my choice and he definitely worked for what he had gotten, I couldn’t get an answer. I also had told him the 8A (Minority Contracting) programs were for ALL but the intent was why should someone have to work as a laborer all his life and NEVER have an opportunity to better himself - especially when the most prominent reason was because he wasn’t White.
I haven’t talked to him recently and I am sure we would have a problem with the current Resident of 1600 PA Ave.
Of course like the Irish and Catholics of the 60’s you will have to go far and wide to have a Black come out and openly denounce BO. Yes, I am aware of the handful of Blacks that rail on him daily but you don’t really hear it from the ‘rank and file’.
At least in ‘our’ presence.
Pffft. “White privilege”. What a hoot. That hasn’t existed in any meaningful capacity in anywhere but “Bumpkinville USA” locales for the better part of half a century.
The days of a light-skinned person being able to order a dark-skinned one to do anything short of pick crops for free are as dead as Moses. No white person in my generation or the last two remember the supposed days of privilege, nor would we care for them back even if we had a frigging magic wand.
Frankly, we’d just be happy for the Trayvon Martins of the world to be afraid of us and have LESS rights instead of the other way around.
