What gives someone the right to call another a racist without being held accountable?

Just venting, but sick and tired of people throwing out the word racist. It's disgusting offensive and civilly liable if taken to court and proven to be false.


If someone like the Kennedy descendants tried that with me, I'd prosecute! More people need to take action. This is so ridiculous and painfully inaccurate response to people who disagree politically. These people who call their fellow politicians names are nothing more than elected bullies. They are going to be stopped no matter the time it takes or the cost it mandates!

Or you can grow a pair.

Politics isn't for the faint of heart.

So you admit then that accusing someone of racism is a political charge not a factual one.

Sometimes it is factual sometimes it is not

Just consider it to be one of those alternative facts

If you tell me you're not racist I'll call bull****. Everyone's racist, in that everyone makes judgements based on race. It's all in what you do with it. Do you try to suppress it in yourself and in others or do you profess it and validate it in others.
Unless you're Gandhi or St. Francis or something. Then I apologize.

Don't you think that you might look at each time someone is called a racist to see if it is true instead of just getting angry. I grew up down south and actually went to a segregated school. I an tell you that there are a lot of people who whether knowingly or unknowingly tend to think as a racist. I don't know how many times i see a quote that is obviously racist and the people who say it say, "but i am not a racist"' And it is not abut politics, it is about how you think and talk and how you treat people different from you.

Among the things you can't change, is "your fellow man".

As confucius says, "Don't let the bastards grind you down".

Or people can get real arguments and not rely on labels. Just think if everyone debated topics instead of addressing their opponent and calling them names. Wouldn't that be great? You know, actually following the concept that is at the top of the page of the forum.

Oh and btw, that phrase is used towards men, not women. It really makes no sense when used towards women since they don't have a pair to begin with. I know some of you guys hate terms only used towards one sex or the other, but not everything you guys are trying to make universal works all that well when used that way.

Oh geez, this everyone is guilty of racism charge again. The only person you can competently speak about is yourself. Call me racist though, and that's a false allegation.
