You clearly do, judging by the examples you offered you don't even know what the word means..which is strange, coming from the south, as you say.

Quote:The OP called out a certain race
Which, again, isn't actually racism..so I'm not sure why that's relevant?

Quote:and one that was most likely no in slaved but the Israelites. The Israelites were in slavery 400 years in Egypt but no one here cares about that, now do they.
Issues of coherency aside...there is no evidence whatsoever that this ever occurred - but that hardly mattered....in response to this believed enslavement the "isrealites" imagined an establishment narrative in which they were the aggressors, the powerful people....none of that happened either..and again, it didn't matter.  If you want to talk about bigotry or racism..look no further than the assumption of a divinely chosen race.  

Quote:By the way being an ---hole can very often be seen in bigotry.
-and in other news, colorblind people mistake red for green.....?

Quote:Well then maybe you can explain why the black people want to research their ancestral backgrounds. It was the Africans themselves who were enslaving their own long before white men began to buy them. It was the Africans who enslaved their own to sale to the white people. There's guilt enough to go around without people trying to make a continued controversy and/or argument. We should all be working for better relationships between all races.
The inevitable launch into a "totally not racist" bit of nonsense.  

Quote:Also think twice before you believe you can teach me about racism, bigotry or any other type of hate.
You clearly need one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
