We understand racism, because we have (in general, I'm not gonna deny) seen what racism does. The big difference between the left and right when it comes to race? We on the right don't use race to divide. To us, it's part of life and descriptor, not another voting bloc to keep in chains.
I think our biggest problem is not coddling to minorities who demand we set them a part from all other groups. But that's something that's very difficult for us to do. Not because we hate that group, but because we believe all groups should be treated equally.
*Edit* - I was talking about race in this entire post. I re-read the last paragraph and had to chuckle. Chuckle because of my side's continued relationship with the gay community. (The right is wrong on that issue, no denying.)
