I'm just pointing out that your logic is self contained. You're saying everything you say after "I'm not racist" is racist because if you say something that's racist it's preceded by "I'm not racist." Do you kind of get how that doesn't make sense?

I'm not racist but I went to a decent college.

I'm not racist but I had mcdonalds for breakfast this morning.

I'm not racist but my family is all white.

See how what you say was like a complete tautology?
You could say all of that without prefacing it with "I'm not racist." If someone prefaces something with I'm not racist, that signals to me they're thinking racist thoughts. So yes, someone telling me "I went to a decent college" - okay, cool, thank you for letting me know vs someone telling me "I'm not racist but I went to a decent college" - okay, cool, thanks for letting me know that you think other races can't get into or go to decent colleges.

Here's the thing though - everyone is racist. Just some people are more racist than others.

Hey retard. Good morning. Hope your day is off to a good start and you had your fruitloops and pepsi cereal.

When did I ever bash the staff?
Your holier than thou progressive defender of all races persona kind of takes a hit when you call someone "retarded". You're essentially no better than what you're accusing these other people of being.

We're all racists here so it's okay if you are as well. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Excuse me but you are arguing in bad faith
Are you saying that I don't believe what I'm arguing? So I'm not a racist now? You people are so fucking stupid, you don't even know what you are saying.

Rest assured that you are undeniably a racist, Teppler/Polycaster.

The thing is, no one cares what you’re arguing. Since you’re such a fan of Latin, you argue the same points ad nauseam. You try and turn every discussion into your own brand of pseudo-intellectual contrived bullshit. It’s not that no one wants to debate with you, it’s that no one wants to talk to you period.

No. See the problem is that this ALMOST is true 100% of the time, but it's not guaranteed to be true.

I might think YOU might interpret me as racist, so I preface the comment. That doesn't mean I'm being racist. That just means I want to be understood correctly and thought about carefully what I'm saying so as not to be misinterpreted.

Now when you say "I'm not racist, but I think these black people here are dressed kind of funny." Is that racist? Break it down for me and I think you'll see my point about the nuance and difference. You can't just conclude something IS racist because someone says "I'm not racist, but." Which was your original point. Which seems true, but isn't actually true. It's just often the case. But not all the time.
