I am kind of optimistic about the state of racism in the US today. That the worse case of racism in the US that the left wing media can possibly find is Deen says alot. Racism appears to exist primarily in the imaginations of liberals and the actions of political hucksters.
I am not as optimistic. Without knowing anyone's political beliefs--I hear many people saying--'That's racist' and maybe they are correct--I just don't have the time or inclination to find out how the decisions were made--mainly online. In real life --people seem to be trying to cope with whatever challenges exist in their lives. What they may think or believe I will never know and I am thankful for that.
Generally I suppose I think a 'real racist' would have negative ideas about many groups of people. Life is frustrating, etc. most people have moments when they say things that they don't really mean. jmo.
'Always darkest before dawn'--I certainly hope for 'lighter' days.
shrug--There were many dark moments yesterday, imo, on TV. An entire day, IIRC, on TLC of 'Honey Boo Boo'. Then Lifetime movie channel showed some of the worst of the worst movies--including Jodi Arias.
So tired of learning more about cultures and why people do what they do.
jmo.
