Why are people so obsessed with racism? Enough already, cry on someone else's shoulder. Seriously, everytime someone says "he's a racist", "she's a racist", "you're a racist" - I don't care. If I actually am racist then I shouldn't have to change my beliefs to appeal to your sensibilities, and if I'm not racist then you're just being a whiny over sensitive douche.
You can hate me all you want, I'm not going to villify you for it. I don't care if you hate me because of my skin color, my political beliefs, my style of clothing, my car, my gender, my income level, etc. None of those reasons for hatred makes you a bad person.
I've had neo-nazi friends, I have black friends, my family is jewish, I don't believe in god, none of that shit matters. As long as you don't hate kittens or want to take my rights away you're alright in my book.
And really, many of my friends do want to take my rights away. Gun rights, property rights, etc. I might be offended by that, but I'm sure they have thier reasons and I certainly don't blacklist them for it.
So in summary, the worst part about 'racism' is hearing some group think sycophant whine about it. And yes, sometimes racist beliefs are accurate so don't poison the well of debate.
