Thread Name: BS: Liberal hate
Subject: RE: BS: Liberal hate
do I see the danger of my thinking process?...Why, no, I don't believe I do...because you have misrepresented how I think...Your example, as before, is a "straw man" argument, making up a hypothetical case, and shooting IT down.

Yes, of course some folks have 'refined' their racism and discrimination...Lester Maddox won't use axe handles this time. But every example of a black man not being 'accommodated' is not automatically racism. Why is it so hard to see that? Even if 84% of the time it were, it is not ALWAYS....and in order deal with that 84%, ot 71% or 53%,we need VERY much to not make the worst possible assumption. It is easier to educate when we are not accusing. Even those who are sympathetic can be lost if their attempts to do 'right' are denigrated. Tell them "we need to do more" or tell them "that isn't helping much" if you must disapprove of their actions, but sneering "racism" for everything will lose you credibility.
