I don't know if he's really racist or not. I pretty much feel the same way as Frank so I just copied his shit from 24,he says something good every once in a while ::laugh::.
Well I've been called a racist for saying Obama's wife looks like a primate to me, even though I was never called a racist whenever I've spotted and called White or Asian people out for the same thing. A racist to me think their race is superior to other races, that there are others out there inferior to them because of race ... and it can also mean a hatred or intolerance for others based upon their race. I do not believe saying Obama's wife is one of those people that looks like a primate is inherently racist using those definitions. I understand why there is a sensitivity to it, because calling Black people monkeys or apes and so forth has a history of being a put down to them ... but that is not the frame of reference I was coming from and I don't believe other people's sensitivities or awareness of history makes me a racist for including Michele Obama in that group of primate-looking humans.
I think too many people today are over-sensitive and are too quick to call someone a racist at times. I think someone is a racist if they seriously think another race is inherently inferior or if they can't tolerate another race. I think racism is the activity of thinking, acting out, or results of those types of beliefs.
