    Not in the English language.

    A racist is a person who believes in racism.

    Racism is a belief that race can be used to classify people as superior or inferior.

    The internet is loaded with definitions. The ones you offer appear nowhere.

    See the bolded part above? Where in that definition of your does math, milk, chess, grammar, Mary Poppins, our national anthem, shoes, hair styles, etc fit in? You can start off by telling me how math is either racist or part of racism and move on to the next ones.

    Are you okay? We're talking about definitions, not Julie Andrews movies.

    Ok, so where do the things I mentioned fit any of your definitions? Like I said, start with math.

    Again, I have no idea what you're talking about.

    "White men can't jump."

    That's racist, by definition. I didn't see the movie.

    Math isn't racist. Neither is milk nor pineapple upside down cake. You gave me a list of random unrelated items, and you want me to start with math? Sorry my friend, no offense, but to me, that looks batsheet crazy. WTF are you talking about?

    • Opportunity Zones
    • Best Black Employment Ever
    • Funded Black Colleges and Universities
    • First Step Act

    For a "Racist"... Trump sure does suck at it. He did more for Black Americans than all the Presidents combined for two decades. This is such a **** propaganda lie. Far too many mush minds have accepted it without critically thinking for themselves.

    They're only racist if they didn't vote for Obama. Get it now? Glad I could help.

    As always, Barrack's analytical skills are right on the mark.
    Trump climbed on the racist birther bandwagon and his racist admirers placed easily the least qualified, least competent, and worst president in the history of this country in the White House.

    And despite Trump's ongoing daily racist appeals designed to draw even more racist votes he will be gone in 68 days.

    Win the Senate, pack the court, Justices Barrack and Michelle Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton just sounds great.

    The left said those things, and a lot more, are racist. Is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich racist? I wouldn't think so, but the left disagrees with me.

    Peanut Butter And Jelly Racist? Portland School Principal Ties Sandwich To White Privilege

    2 Things:

    1. name something that isn't racist and never will be (since most libs have to be told something is racist, many on this board have refused to answer because they don't know if today's pillowcase is the racist item of tomorrow)

    2. name something positive about blacks as a whole (the left manages to find plenty of positives about illegals, so this should be easy)

    Questioning a place of birth is not racist, especially when that person's own book said he was born in Kenya.

    Can you name some of the daily racist appeals by Trump? We just heard about obama's racism, now give us examples of Trump's daily racist appeals.

    That was certainly a part of it, though how much is anyone's guess. While you absolutely do not have to be a racist to have disliked Obama, there are those who disliked him because he was a black man. So for some, that was true.

    In my estimate though, Hillary Clinton was a much larger influence than Obama. That and Trump actually appealed to the rural voters after he redesigned himself to be a Republican. These were folks already sick of 8 years of a Democratic administration suddenly faced with the prospect of another one led by a person from a family that had left a bad taste in Republicans mouths since the 90s.

    Hmmm, I never ever saw it that way. But then, I don't think about racism 24/7.

    They never heard a black man with authority ever speak before. I guess.

    Racism rewoke in 08. A black skin man was president. The horror that was.

    Racism has been the backbone of the Republican party since Nixon, It took Trump to bring it out of the shadows.

    I agree. MLK made changes, but those changes were just hidden. Many whites did not want to see equality with blacks. And the suppression had been so long and so deep, it never mattered much that laws had changed.
    People still had their mind sets. It takes 3-4 generations to make something like racism in society to be insignificant.
    So from 60s to the 2000s it was largely dormant, but blacks kept making equality inroads. Little by little.

    Then, a black skin man was president and those little improvements were no longer little. And the rock was over turned. And tRUMP was a rebuttal the gains of the blacks.
