Trump supporters say they’re “tired of being called racists.” At a recent rally in Cincinnati, the Atlantic reported, white attendees defended themselves against the charge by citing the “evidence”: They had donated money to help black foster children; they deeply loved their black and mixed-race grandchildren.

Shortly after rejecting the “racist” label, however, these same rallygoers made racist remarks to the journalist who interviewed them. Regarding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the United States as a Somali refugee, one woman offered: “I don’t want her stinkin’ Muslim crap in my country.”

When called a racist, I just say this: “The first one to bring up race is the racist.”

And then I’m careful not to be the first one to bring it up.

Muzloid is not a “race”

By definition to disparage a muzloid is not racism.

Awaking the first Washington Post article entitled “Dear fellow black people: Here’s what to do when you’re called racist.”

I’m not holding my breath.
