Ten Things You Didn’t Know Were Racist

So to be non-offensive nowadays a scared person is said to be “rainbow as a sheet”, a Congressman will once again be accused of “rainbow-washing a scandal”, a coward will be castigated as being “rainbow-bellied”, and when you surrender to this incredible BS you are said to be “running up the rainbow flag”.
That last one is rather appropriate...

it’s bush’s fault, and I am a racist

[Drango]

This post micro aggressed me.

[MarvinStinson]

You are revealing your racism by the mere fact that you are allowing him to serve you.

[MarvinStinson]

I was afraid of that.

I apologize sincerely

and will delete the entire thread at once.

[Lazamataz]

I am sick to death of the Language Stalinism that is being pushed on us. This is the reason Trump is winning. He tells all these people, ‘Suck it up, buttercup!”

[amihow]

No. Buying. Pink Lady apples is unforgivably racist.

[Lazamataz]

this one is real, too in Boot Camp, one recruit from Harlem accused me of being racist because I dont like black licorice It didnt matter to him that I didnt like the taste, all that mattered was I didn’t like the black ones true story

I'd have responded, "Damn. I *KNEW* it was a mistake to leave our obsolete farm tools lying around."

[FreeReign]

Meanwhile, “blacks can’t be racist”.

[MNDude]

True, but it probably would not look very good either if I requested to have a white server instead.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Is BLACK COW,(the caramel bar covered in chocolate) racist?

What will make it non racist? Quick! I am quivering in my boots to be as PC as possible!

[Ohioan]

Humor is, of course, essential to fighting back against the effort to stifle critical thinking, by trying to induce the fear of being "Labeled," as a persuader to silence. However, a discussion of the "bait & switch" tactic, that has worked for the Left in expanding the definition of "racism," might be of interest to some. (It is contained in what will be the September feature at my Conservative resource center: Reality Is Not A Grievance.)

Understanding how the Left operates, the subtleties of how they operate, is important to determining how best to fight back.

[MarvinStinson]

These problems are difficult.

They require careful thought and discreet, circumspect action.

[ConservativeInPA]

There was a time that I wasn’t racist. Now there is little hope for me not to be labeled as a racist because of my normal, what was once non-racist, speech. So be it. I embrace it. I’m a racist. I am not changing to conform to lunacy.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Remember the old medicinal licorice bar? I think it was IDEAL brand stamped on the side. It contained no sugar and was HORRIBLE!

[Altura Ct.]

Let’s face it. Being white is racist.

[MarvinStinson]

It’s good that you realize that.

[Popman]

black coffee is racist.

I take me coffee mulatto...

[I cannot think of a name]

How does this work?

White male = racists

White female = wife

White female produced by white male and white female.

Something doesn’t work logically (as if any logic at all were involved in this stupidity!)

[mumblypeg]

...sagging pants are culturally associated associated with African Americans...

Along with murder and misogyny and self-defeatism. Let’s tolerate and encourage more of the same
