Is it racist to point out a flaw in some aspect of a politician's work performance if you are classified as white and they can claim to be a person of color?
If the same criticism is made by a person of color toward a person labeled white, is that racist?
Is it racist for a person of color to make the same criticism of another person of color?
How about a white person criticizing, using the same criteria, another white person?
If all answers are not no, or all answers are not yes, can you explain how racism factors into the equation?
I am interested. I don't see skin color as an impetus for special consideration either positive or negative so I'm still confused by a lot of the comments on a few threads going on right now.
Are you trying to say you're not a racist, LTL? Or you don't really know if you are or not? That's easy. If you support Trump, you're a racist.
Can't answer the questions? Or just dodging them.
See Randy? That doesn't seem so hard. Curious that you couldn't answer.
Sorry, I'm sorta pissed off at the 29 murders presently. Please forgive me if I'm a bit distracted...
Been listening to the horrible tales of the punk killing mothers protecting their babies. Perhaps it's just me...
You weren't distracted enough to not come in to make a flippant, patently false, purposely misleading comment. You weren't distracted enough to attempt to turn a valid question into a reason for you to offer insult.
Forgive me if I don't believe your excuse.

I hate racism, I hate racist people, I think the Civil War was over slavery. I've seen this country embrace the self evident truth that all men are created equal, and the doctrine of Martin Luther King, until now.People get fired from their jobs and shunned from society (rightfully so) for spouting...

Paul Ryan stated that Trump's accusation of his Judge's bias due to his Mexican heritage was the very definition of racism, but he still supports the Republican nominee. Why can't he just call Trump a racist? And admit that racism is rampant in the Republican party.

I know what right wing conservatives would say to this, but liberals. Answer this.You live in a subdivision consisting of twenty one houses, each with large families and each has only one spare bedroom with the exception of your house which has no spare bedrooms. You are the president of the...

When NBC showed a commercial spot for the Autumn premier of a new comedy series entitled "Animal Practice" it used a monkey perfoming on the rings. An obvious effort to capitalize on the on going Olympics coverage as a means of sparking interest in the new show. That...

Do you believe that the ascendancy of President Trump was influential in the Charlottesville riots &other acts of racism by the Alt-Right & other White Supremacist groups?
