    Except for the fact that you really, really don't, as evidenced by your proclivity to see it everywhere and accuse everyone.

    Read some of that thread but must have missed the particular @Roo posts you are referring to (it was a long thread)

    What racist statements did he make...?

    Racist? Not so much.....

    I never liked his position on pornography. It's laughably arbitrary and intangible. Just ripe for abuse!
    No thanks. I'd rather have agreed-upon definitions for the words we use. Especially those words we use to dismiss or censor another persons grievances or speech.
    TO THE BOLD!

    With softly spoken, kindly word
    Remember also me."

    Did I play the game right? Wait... do I have to go find 10 examples of racism among the folks whose political opinions I support? Jesus H. Christ this is more like a semester-long assignment. Can we make this a final paper?
    Seems like you haven't actually read the OP at all. It specially states that the exercise is voluntary. It also states clearly that you don't necessarily have to name 10. The problem seems to be you don't want to understand the OP. You seem to more interested in being a smart ass. As usual.

    Why is that more important? Personally what is defined a racist, to me, isn't nearly as important as someone engaging in racism. One nearly describes what it is. The other we have to deal with.
