Do you think the guy's comment wearing the sombrero shirt was racist? If not, then I don't see what you would disagree with on my post.
Your post apparently was offering a faint example, but in support of neo's extraordinary broader claim, given the context, that calling racists racists speaks more ill of the those that call out racists than the racists, and tempt to leverage from that rotten foundation some truly idiotic partisan attack desperate even for his ilk.
I think there are times when the word "racist" gets tossed around, and I gave an example of when I recently heard it get tossed around. Obviously I'm all for calling racists racist.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
