Not much grey area there. They are everywhere hiding behind all kinds of labels, as are all kinds of "ists".

She was just too explicit, and so they had to remove her. She should have learned her dog whistles and code words.

She didn't know you can only call white men baboons. You can trash white men all you want.

It's perhaps surprising to you that there aren't that many ways to express hatred toward white men with demeaning names, in a culture that is predominately white, and where white men have most of the power. Perhaps so, but I don't understand why.

If she was a major candidate people would be defending her, probably pulling up dictionary entries of the words she used and saying "see? How can that be racist?"

No, not at all. To call a team of mostly black players "Baboons" is an irrefutable racial epithet.
It isn't like using a casual term that has other common uses.

IMO if you bring up race in about any discussion, you are being racist.
There is just no good reason to even mention someone's race unless you are describing how someone looks to a police officer or something.
NOBODY got to choose what race they would be. All people are individuals and should be given that respect. It is wrong to judge an individual by the actions of others who look like them.
How many of you would like to be identified with the Westborough Baptists?

So if, as in certain communities, police target poor black people for fines as a money-making policy, it's racist to say so? That's what racists always say. No one actually believes them.

Oh you might be surprised.

You are correct about that statement. I should amend mine a bit

 

[The Barbarian]

I made my reply harsher than I should have. Sorry for that.

Roger Penrose is considered by some to be the 12 th most intelligent person in the world today. He has an IQ of 185. He believes that the stupidity of mankind will most likely never be solved. The problem is, he is not a Christian and he knows nothing about what it means to have the Mind of Christ. So what he is calling "stupid" the Bible would refer to as a reprobate mind.

The police spend very little time to handle criminals. So they have a lot of time to extort money from law abiding citizens. This is how they pay their salary. There are books you can buy to avoid this like the book: "you have the right to remain innocent." The police are usually not very well trained, so it is pretty easy to learn how to avoid saying something that could get you in trouble. It is a lot more difficult here on this forum where people work so hard on entrapment
