actually if they only reason you have for accusing someone of being racist is their skin color, that is racist...
and there are more than enough racist statements from liberals to say that it is just as prevelant as racism from the right. If you think differently its apparent you havent done any type of looking into the subject.
Not suprising though if I were to look at what is portrayed i would definitely come to your conclusion. Being ignorant is not in itself a crime, remaining ignorant in the face of evidence however is.
So go do some research.
Dude. You are wrong, wrong, wrong. And I'm not sure why.
It's not your fault that a lot of conservatives (a fearful bunch, in general) tend to be racist. To me, racism is just a lazy shorthand way to judge other people when you're unwilling or unable to judge them by more valid standards. Racists are often threatened by what they really don't understand, that's all. If they lived alongside blacks who are similarly educated and of their same economic class (as seems to be more common in CA) then they'd realize that they're just tarring all the blacks with the same brush (pun unintended, haha) because the visible differences between the good folks and the shitty ones aren't as apparent to them. (Not as apparent as the only-helen-keller-could-miss-it trait of skin color.) This is simplistic, maybe, but pretty much true, I think.
Allow me to bloviate a little more: This same lack of being able to recognize the good and bad people among a group of folks that look markedly different is the reason that so many Western guys fall in love with Thai bargirls. Because they don't understand the language or the culture, they don't get that they're falling for the equivalent of the skankiest trailer-trash that they'd NEVER consider marrying if it was a girl from their own familiar culture.
Hmmm, I want to try to make a point about all GB'ers being actual brothers regardless of political stripe because the rest of the world thinks of us as mentally unhealthy, drug-using, body culture narcissists or something but the thoughts aren't flowing -- Think I need some carbs.
Anyway, yeah, a higher percentage of conservatives are racists in thought and action than liberals.
