They were walking down the sidewalk together and some white people coming toward them stepped off the sidewalk as they met. The black guy saw that as racism (they didn't want to get too close to two black guys) while the white guy just saw it as moving aside so they didn't run into each other.
    Yes, & I don't see how that can change-reaching the same conclusions coming from different experiences... Either of their observations could be correct or totally wrong for all we know.........

    Perhaps one of them has an allergy to the tons of cologne some ppl wear, one of the had an accident & didn't want anyone to smell it, so on, so on,

    I walk around in my neighborhood all the time...... If there is women, I always walk around, or even cross the street, as I am just randomly wandering anyway..

    I would guess you could project motives on to ppl, I doubt you'd be right very often...

    There are five types of racism. Most people aren’t aware of that. It isn’t just based on intolerance and power.
    Thanks because you just proved that people like LV and TTQ are bigots, even though the JPP liberals won't admit it.

    Some perceive racism when it is not there, and some do not perceive it when it is there.

    People like you make a determination by just looking at someone.

    you are a racist. There, I said it again. And nobody will ever stop doing it until you stop being one.

    See how that works?

    Now if you do want me to stop calling you a racist, there is a way. 1. Say you disavow racism against minorities.
    2. Admit Trump is a racist. 3. Support Trump by saying you wish he was not a racist but you want the tax cut and the macho bullshit
    stuff and abortion or whatever.

    But be honest. That is the key. Stop doing the tribe thing and be honest. Your party is incapable of honesty in fact anymore. Now your
    party fights every battle, denies every argument, never cedes an inch, even the indisputable points. It's disgusting.
    Why are you a bigot?/
