I was with you almost until the "willful ignorance". I also guess yummyfajitas was with you until the second paragraph as well.

My frustration is that your definition doesn't seem to be the one that one is jugded against but rather one that defines us all as racists because of the society we live in, because of our distant relatives etc.

Because of this there seems to be no way to defend against this. And since I am a "racist" it is only fair to dismiss all my opinions, right?

Again: I'm arguing in good faith. I don't like Trump but I am afraid the rethoric we see from Democrats and others are driving voters straight into his arms. I'm also fairly certain that it hurts this community when people go around accusing other long term contributors of willfull ignorance.


Do you honestly believe he did not know the meaning of racism? That he was not being deliberately ignorant (the definition of willful ignorance) about racism to make a rhetorical point? Come on now.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings by calling out the obvious. I apologize.


No, I think yummyfajitas knows full well the dictionary definition of racism, or would be fully capable of looking it up.

A lot of people seem to use another definition though and that is what I think yummyfajitas tried to get them to admit.

For some reason only you seemed to want to put their definition in writing.
