[QUOTE="GoldenBoy89, post: 69480717, member: 316203"] People who say they are not racist, are probably lying. Racism doesn't always come in the overt form we are all familiar with like a burning cross on a black family's lawn or wearing a swastika and dressing like Hitler. Racism can be very subtle prejudice that is hardly even noticed. Being outwardly violent to other races is not the only way racism manifests itself. It is a much more complex psychological phenomenon that is deeply rooted in almost all human cultures and societies. I agree that the term often gets thrown out when it is not necessary but to believe that nothing you ever do could ever be racist in any way because[I] you[/I] don't think you are a racist (because you think racists only come in one or two varieties) is an ignorant and shortsighted view of racism. [I] Illegal[/I] is an adjective. How can any person be an [B][I]illegal[/I]?[/B] That's not racist, that's just poor English comprehension. Do you know why the term [I]AllLivesMatter[/I] exists? Hint: It's because black people started saying BlackLivesMatter to bring attention to their own struggle, and only because of that, because the term didn't exist before BLM became a thing. Maybe it's genuine but it reeks of purposely trying to counter the BLM movement and replace their clearly inciting phrase with what is a much more PC, all-inclusive phrase that doesn't implicate anyone. It basically misses the entire point of BLM. Leftist, huh... What exactly [I]is [/I]a leftist? [/QUOTE]
