Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Don, how many times have I pointed out on this forum that virtually everyone has some racist tendencies?

(That's a rhetorical question.)

Now, how do we decide who is to be called a racist and who is not to be? I'll tell you how. We decide, in our inveterate self-righteousness that WE ourselves are above such criticism...ah, yes, lily-white and spotless in our idealism...but someone else is not...and we call him a "racist".

Let (s)he who is without "sin" cast the first stone. No one here qualifies to do that to another person here in that fashion. That's why I object to it. It's like calling someone a "witch" in Salem.
