I don't really know what your goal is. I don't really care about it too this degree. I respect your not considering yourself s racist. I don't really care whether someone labels me a racist. I'm interested in wherever the facts lead, and testing individuals as such.
You may not care now, if someone labels you as racist.
However, you'll care in front of a court of law, and I don't wish you to end up in such a situation, to be clear.
Because the difference between a crime, and a hate crime, solely depends on... That's right, the fact that it was motivated or not by racism.
I personally have nothing to gain by labeling myself with that word, quite the contrary, actually.
If anything that's what I'm saying here, in that entire thread, since 72 hours now
I get what you're saying, don't voluntarily call yourself a racist. My response is mostly to others calling me a racist -- fine, because their approach is a sticky spider web that gets your tighter when you resist. I'll engage on what a racist is, ask them to define their own position.
You've made some good points that I will think more about.
