50 shades of racism

[BuckSparkles]

Because this is 2016. Everything is racist. Unless it is directed at white people.

It's just easy for liberals to say "racist", as opposed to explaining why they disagree with something. Often times when they can't think of a valid counterpoint they will just use this instead.

It's kind of like back in the days of McCarthyism, if you didn't agree that there was some secret communist organization in America, you would be considered a communist yourself lol.

Maybe people don't like it when you perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

Maybe those people shouldn't go outside then.

Oh, you mean things like "white privilege?"

Why are you necro-ing all these racist threads?

Why is the "racist" tag so easily applied to people?

For example, I'm not a racist, not at all, but I do like making fun of racial stereotypes and I don't mind when people make fun of my race's stereotypes. Yet it seems that if I do that, I get labeled as a racist. Why? How does that work?

Stupid and dishonest people are misusing the racism card to gain tolerance points in the eyes of other worthless idiots.

Because people are pussies and get butt hurt about everything.

What I see is how you drop the "potential" and then throw it back in there at the end.

I see wells that you are having trouble parsing that sentence.
Let me explain why your contention is meaningless.

women are also rapists

All PEOPLE are potential Rapists.

All People are potential Gold Diggers.

All people being potential rapists is a different statement, than that some people are rapists.
The phrase 'all men are potential rapists', is sexist, because the other part of humanity, Women, contain within it a subset that are rapists.
Unless your argument is that, all men could be rapists, but have the strength not to, but all women who could be rapists, lack said strength.
That would logically work, but still be sexist, this time for another reason, strangely i think you would care more about this for some reason.

It's not a stereotype it's factually correct that a lot of black men in America grow up without a dad

Sorry, but this is nonsense. It is like claiming that telling my girlfriend I love her is jerkish, because it excludes the fact that I also love my sister and my mother.

That would be a different kind of love?
Because, trust me, when i tell my girlfriend i love her, i both singularly mean her, and she parses it as such.

[RobertMugabe]

There are no races in humanity, except that all humans colectively are refered to as the human race.

People who think, that black-colored and White-colored People are different races... These People are racists

Really takes the wind out of the sails of the HMS Moral Highground when your proposed solution to bad systems is an endorsement of Stalinism.

wait, you are trashing Socialism and Marxist theory? - Are you aware of how much of your world-view you just threw out?

Religions are used for the protection of exploitation and stupefaction of the worker class, so forgive me if I don't like them.

That's Marxist theory - albeit more of an observation really.

Locking this since it's been necroed, and particularly since people are picking on comments from a month and a half ago as if it's an active discussion.
