if you say all blacks are lazy, white woman-chasing, chicken eatin', poor tipping, & ignorant, you're a racist.

Or making a point/joking.


I could make a racist statement right now.

But if I don't actually believe that statement, I'm not racist.

True.

But that doesn't mean they cannot.

Edit: And for that matter, I suspect that you may have a broader definition of "racist statement" than myself.
 
No.

He's just extremely annoying.

The only bull**** here is your trying to move goal posts.

I did not say what you posted above. All I said was "all Jews are greedy" and you added the hyperbole.So again my statement was indeed a stereotype which had nothing at all to do with being antisemitic or racist. I agree it would probably be ignorant.

so, one can accuse ALL Jews of being greedy, and there's nothing anti-Semitic about that?

Only if they themselves believe it.


What, you can't imagine a joke wherein the comedian accuses all Jews of being greedy?

I just wanted to chime in and say the conversation in which your sig took place was one of the all-time stupidest and most offensive debates I have witnessed since I've been here.

Playing devil's advocate here, is saying "all black guys have big dicks" racist? How about "all Asians are good at math?"
 
Racist?:no:


an opportunist, wind bag, pot stirring, media mutt that is actually part of the problem & not part of the solution? :yes:

sounds like you're looking for wiggle room to make racist & anti-Semitic comments, without being labeled a bigot.

which is very sad.

So now you resort to ad hominems, par for the course. If you can't debate, insult.

you don't seem to know what an ad hom is.

and this is only your second post today, where you appear to be trying to find a way to make prejudiced remarks without being labeled prejudiced.

You do realize prejudice and racism are two different things right? Prejudice does not always involve race.
