You can't fix stupid, but sometimes it has a way of fixing itself.

Lol, that list keeps getting bigger.

Is there a special VGOF patch awarded to those who make the list? Or a hatpin, perhaps?

Glad you've noticed. The point is that being called a racist is becoming an empty epithet. It is the technique of those who are mentally flailing about; panicking as they realize that their intellectual ammunition is running desperately low.

It is my earnest desire that eventually we ALL are called racist in out lives at least once.
1) Everyone is racist at some level, even if subconsciously. This is natural.
2) It will become even more silly of a conversation stopper than it is now (it is near HITLER/NAZI depths already)
3) If you haven't had the pleasure of being called a racist, you aren't trying hard enough or haven't engaged a base enough lock step liberal.

I have come to the conclusion that I am a big meanie wassist blah blah blah....fine......I as a big meanie. So be it. That is what a child yells at his mother when she says no to the 5:30 pm cookie run. So if people want to be petulant children then I am ok being the big meanie mommy.

Tweaker, I'm afraid I must disagree. Intellectually these people are firing blanks, thus all the flailing.

@Tweaker:

I've been called a racist more times than I can count. Partly because I got tired of trying to figure out what the acceptable word for "negro" is; it changes according to the day and which particular colored folk you happen to be speaking to. So screw it, I kicked it back to the 50's and you can guess which 2 phrases are now permanant fixtures in my vernacular.

I've even been called a racist on this forum. I forget which member said it (in very self righteous anger, I might), but it was because I suggested that folks on welfare should be barred from voting.

But, mainly, I'm done with walking on egg shells. If someone wants to think me a racist, I do not care. That person is overly sensitive, probably overly dramatic, and they've done me a favor by removing themselves from my life.

Glad to hear!

I would like to add that by name alone, Monkey, I have my eyes on you for possible addition to "the list."

Been unplugged from the Matrix for a little while, so I had a hard time figuring out what you were saying. Having your eyes on me, at first, I thought you were hitting on me.

Finally broke the code.

I am quite prejudiced against stupid, ignorant people. If that lands me on your list, go for it!
