How do you prove you are not a racist? I, my husband, and several members of my family have attended several Tea Party events and rallies, including a rally of over 100,000 in Washington, D.C. last September. According to the NAACP, and many members of the Democrat party establishment, my family and I are either racists ourselves, or we are tacitly supporting and enabling other racists in the Tea Party. So how do we defend our honor?

Is it proof that I am not racist that I served for several years as a literacy tutor in the African-American community in Columbia, SC? Is it proof that I am not a racist that my family attends a Baptist church in Wendell that has members of multiple races? Is it proof that I am not a racist when my family co-sponsored a black mother and her two children at Christmas last year and that my white son chose all the toys and clothes for her black son based on their common love for all things Bakugan and sports? Is it proof that we are not racist that we invite our Hispanic employee and his wife to join us on our family vacation at the beach? Or how about that my family includes members of several races on the approved NAACP list, and that I have close relationships with those family members?

Seriously, how can I prove to the NAACP and its members and supporters that my family and I are not racists? Have any of these accusers been to a Tea Party meeting, rally, or event? Have they seen the black, white, and Hispanic attendees who sit together, laugh together, and share conversation about fiscal responsibility or lower taxes? Or are the liberal name-callers jumping on the bandwagon to condemn all Tea Party members out of hand? Can any of the NAACP members and supporters "prove" that any racist events have actually happened?

Why are my family and I subjected to condemnation and the extreme insult of being labeled "racist" and then forced to either submit to the derogatory term or try (desperately and futilely) to defend ourselves from the slur? Why are so many members of the Democrat party and the NAACP comfortable with labeling all members of the Tea Party as "racist"? Who are the bigots now?

The burden is on the party making accusations of racism. If that party satisfies their burden, it is up to the putative racist to defend themselves. Apparently, you may satisfy your burden by screeching "you raciss."

Rappy and Wulf, however, are known racist homophobes. To prove you are not racist, or homophobic, you must smooch black dudes and post video evidence. I promise not to fap.

Well, being that racism is first a preoccupation with race, racial differences, race relations, or racial tension, I would say one way to prove you're not racist is to not care about race, racism, or reverse racism.

I agree, one of the reasons racism is still around is because racists and those experiencing racism are fixated on race. Those that believe racism is still a big problem need to stop worrying about every racist slur by some backward ass country fuck and focus on racism from people that have power over them in some way. The hypersensitivity towards average assholes dilutes the important work of eliminating race from hiring practices, banking and other areas that have real effect on your ability to live a life free from racism. Trying to force every hillbilly to become PC just causes a backlash. Giving your vote to the side that screams racism the loudest doesn't help the cause when half of those screaming racism are themselves racists.

They're being falsely accused of BEING racists, which is far different.

Well, it is in the real world. Not sure about KwickieLand.

They're not being "falsely" accused of anything. They actually ARE racists, a good number of them. I know you can't see that, but you are an avowed racist yourself, so how could you?

There are differences between various races, or more accurately, populations. They are in part biological.

Very nice article on Slate.com recently (I'd link, but my blackberry link-fails) discussing a study on physiology and athletic performance. Cliff note version: the limb-length and center of gravity ideal for sprinting is best represented by West African (not generically "black" populations); the same is true of swimming and European populations. Beyond mere appearance, many physical characteristics tend to cluster with population groups. They are a product of an environment, and natural selection. They are biological.

Show me one Black civilization on earth that is beyond barbarism....I believe they have been on earth the longest and all other races evolved beyond them. They are so non-evolved they have no capacity for community or family EVEN in this country. Around the rest of the world, especially where there is no non-black influence, it is even worse. If I am wrong show me....Well, it's true.......

Flip it, and put KKK members out in front of a polling site near a trailer park, somewhere in Kentucky or Tennessee, and if ONE black person got turned away because they were scared, for ANY reason, real or perceived, then we'd have ourselves a full blown federal case.

And rightfully so !

That the Bush DOJ didn't pursue the case means nothing. Bush didn't do a lot of things he should have done, as Karl Rove recently stated about not fighting back hard enough w/ the Dems. Doesn't change the facts of the case, one iota.

( and no, it's not in the least bit been " thoroughly debunked " . You'd LIKE it to , of course, because it shows just how sad this administration is, and how claims of Obama being " post racial " are a joke. From calling the Cambridge police " stupid " to dropping the clear and obvious case of voter intimidation, Obama is showing himself to be a true product of Rev Wright's " church". And that's what scares Lefties the most.... that America will see Obama for who his really is, and not for the fake P.R. creation he was made out to be by the MSM )

HK, point well taken, but in some instances, I think racism crosses from subjective state of mind to objective fact...see generally segregated schools, lynchings, etc...also, we use circumstantial evidence to demonstrate subjective states all the time. So I dissent.

PS: you are a racist!
