What are some signs you might be a racist?

As opposed to commenting individually on the thinly veiled racism on this forum. I figured I'd make a thread. So RP community: What are some good signs that you might be a racist?

Here's a few of my own:

1. If you've ever complained that black people shouldn't be able to use the N-word since you can't, you might be a racist

2. If the only time you acknowledge minority voices is when they agree with you, you might be a racist

3. If you have ever applauded yourself on being 'colorblind', you might be a racist

4. If your reaction to Ahmaud Arbery getting chased down and shot in the street was, well why was he in the construction site, you might be a racist

5. If you think 'black on black crime' is an actual thing, you might be a racist

6. If you have ever said you can't be racist because you have a friend/cousin/co-worker/Janitor who is X race, you might be a racist

7. If you think racism is no more because Obama was elected, you might be a racist

8. If you think race is a better measurement of crime than income, you might be a racist

9. If you're scared that there's a bunch of immigrants at the border waiting to get into America to do crime, you might be a racist

Lifted from CRT. Still a total crock and an slightly altered copy of the Nazi plan which was a copy of other "we are better than thou" plans that have manifested over and over and over. But, as has been shown over and over again on this site, those that spout the lies of the OP feel they are right - and screw everybody else. A form of racism unto itself.

1. If you've ever complained that black people shouldn't be able to use the N-word since you can't, you might be a racist - nope. I find it offensive for any group to put down their own group or any other group. It speaks VOLUMES of your character and how you treat ALL people. But you don't have that character as demonstrated by this post.

2. If the only time you acknowledge minority voices is when they agree with you, you might be a racist - Are you kidding? My work team is 15 people - 2 of us are white. I live in South Florida where the various Caribbean, Central American and South American cultures are very, very prevalent. Our son plays semi-pro baseball and the teams are averaging about 10% white. We live in a very diverse country and you need to be completely backwards to think we are all at each other's throats. You are delusional.

3. If you have ever applauded yourself on being 'colorblind', you might be a racist - you have never lived where YOU are the minority, and it shows. I dare you to live for 2 years in Iran, Iraq, Japan, China, South Africa, Egypt or any other place where YOU are in the very small minority. I grew up in that way - not here in the states.

4. If your reaction to Ahmaud Arbery getting chased down and shot in the street was, well why was he in the construction site, you might be a racist - non sequitur and reaching for the scum under the bottom of the barrel. By the way - the Navy called and said something about barrels and turns. Ahmaud Arbery is an example of no character, out ethics and a lack of morals.

5. If you think 'black on black crime' is an actual thing, you might be a racist - the FBI disagrees with you. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls (Image attached)

6. If you have ever said you can't be racist because you have a friend/cousin/co-worker/Janitor who is X race, you might be a racist - no. You are astutely blind and would prefer to PROMOTE continual racism. YOU are why we have systemic racism. YOU are judging people by the color of their skin - even it is the color you were painted at birth. I find it sad that people would rather judge on skin color and turn a blind eye to character.

7. If you think racism is no more because Obama was elected, you might be a racist - never said that.

8. If you think race is a better measurement of crime than income, you might be a racist - huh?!

9. If you're scared that there's a bunch of immigrants at the border waiting to get into America to do crime, you might be a racist - nope! We have a Constitution. The Constitution has the broad strokes of what a citizen is and how to become one. From that, federal laws, presented by the House, confirmed by the Senate, accepted by the POTUS and on occasion reviewed by SCOTUS have been put in place to determine what a LEGAL immigrant is and what an ILLEGAL immigrant is. It is this sore lack of understanding by you that seriously concerns me. It shows me that YOU are willing to turn your back on the law and our Constitution to try to shoehorn a point on racism that is just not true. Since you support this stance I have to assume you also support Biden's "Cubans are not welcome here" stance. Talk about hypocrisy. But - YOU voted for a man who's mentor was a head of the KKK, who's only real effort in Congress put thousands of blacks behind bars, has been on record for wanting segregation as he did not want his kids going to school in the jungle, and the examples go on and on.

If you feel you need to make lists of why you feel people might be racists you might be a race hustler.

Oh, the 'absent black father' bit is lovely hysteria, and toss in a bit of misogyny in there when they clamor on about matriarchal family structures being a bad thing.

When civil liberty is reframed as 'hating white people', that's always precious.

Oh, and the unironic use of 'race hustler' when anyone dares to bring up the reality of racism.

When 'the real racism' is daring to mention that racism exists and that something should be done about it.

They never fail to disappoint.

1. If you think the new voting laws are fair, you might be a racist.

2. If you think Texas Democrats should not have left the state to prevent passage of completely legitimate voting laws, you might be a racist.

3. If you think Texas Democrats should not have left the state in 2003 to prevent Republicans from gerrymandering – I mean, redistricting – the state, you might be a racist.

4. If you think Marjorie Taylor Greene is a great American, you might be a racist.
