This is why I'm openly racist...nobody will be seen as 100% non-racist by somebody...so fuck it.

...rather, nobody will be seen as 100% non-racist by -everybody-

Yeah, me too. I'd like to understand.

In an attempt to understand ccnuggie, and while we wait explanation, can we all (me especially, so get on my case if I lose it, guys) tone down what may be construed as undue emphasis.
I shall keep my disagreements polite, sir.

Basically I'm not politically correct, and don't even try.

If a higher percentage of blacks are in jail than whites, I'll say it.

I'll call a black guy black and not worry about what the PC term this week is for them.

Basically, I just don't give a fuck. To most people, that makes me racist.

Plus I use a lot of racist humor.

Okay.
Do you believe, for example that white folk are intrinsically superior in some way or another to other non-white folk. I mean are they intellectually superior or physically better. And I include in the category of non-white folk Asians, both Indian and East Asian. Does class have anything to do with it. For example, is an african black doctor different to a white criminal, and if so, in what ways.
I'd like to know how someone who has flashes of wit that I appreciate, and yet seems diametrically opposed in so many ways, thinks and feels. Especially when he's nailed his colours to the mast, so to speak.
For fuck's sake, Lenny Bruce wasn't politically correct. PC don't matter quite as much as core beliefs. I know folk who'd insult the world and his wife, in extreme terms. That doesn't neccessarily make them racist.
Would you 'step out' with a black woman, or an Asian if they met your intellectual and aesthetic criteria?
So many questions...Please respond.
