A ****ty joke doesn't prove one a racist.

What does? How does one prove someone is a racist? Any racist comments Sessions has made are just "jokes" and any racially motivated actions he takes are just "politics" so there really is no way I or anyone else could prove anyone is a racist. It is funnier to make you defend his jokes. Did you hear the one where he called a civil rights attorney a traitor to his race? Or how about this one?

Donald Trump’s nominee for US attorney general was once accused of calling a black official in Alabama a “nigger”, and then gave a false explanation to the US Senate when testifying about the allegation.

Funny, right?

It is very relevant. An innocent man had his throat slit by the KKK and Sessions found their use of marijuana more repugnant. Since you agree it was a "joke" and apparently up your line of humor, what makes it funny?

Basically anything you don't like is racist?

When a black dude called my kids "oreos" or the one that called my wife a "zebra" are they racists?

Oh, you like it when people use disparaging racial terms? Is "like" now the standard you ascribe to racism?
