I’m going to stop saying African American. It’s racist. Just because we’re of color doesn’t make us any less American. We don’t call white people, European American.. so it doesn’t make sense to say African American. We’re all just, American.

Americans are racist.

I disagree with this statement. *shrug* I do believe white people should be called by their country of origin. They do not belong here. They came and stole what wasn’t theirs, enslaved 2 groups of people of color, and killed off whole races of people. They are foreign bodies to the Americas. Please realize American can be a term used for South America or North America and in North America there is Canada. So if you mean you are all from the United States, you should say that. This land belonged to a calm people and the Europeans ruined that. *shrug* IDGAF what you think… YOU might be racist! Pick up a book about Black Indians and things, understand the REALITY behind the ancestors of our current racists.

You are a racist.

Ben Swann just did a two part report on the Ron Paul newsletters. Very well researched and very fair.

The Story Behind the Ron Paul Newsletters

The Name of a “Mystery Writer” of One of Ron Pauls’ “Racist” Newsletters

Here’s where he absolutely killed it (emphasis mine):

But there is a bigger issue than just Ron Paul here.

What you may not know is that in this presidential election cycle, every single candidate for president, including President Obama, has been called a racist.

Herman Cain was called a racist because he said blacks had been brainwashed into voting for the democratic party.

Mitt Romney was called a racist by Bill Maher because he is a Mormon, and called racist by MSNBC for continually calling the President by his first and last names instead saying President Obama.

Newt Gingrich was called a racist just a few months ago for calling Palestinians an invented people.

Michelle Bachmann was called a racist a few months ago after saying African American children and black families were better off during slavery presumably because they had both parents living with them. She says she was clearly taken out of context.

Rick Perry was called a racist for a name spray painted on a rock at a hunting camp rented by his family.

Also saying he was taken out of context, one of the latest claims against Rick Santorum, is saying he is a racist for a supposed statement he made that blacks shouldn’t receive welfare.  He says he didn’t say that.

President Obama himself has been called a racist by many people, including Glenn Beck, who triggered a fire-storm after saying he believes President Obama doesn’t like white people.

President Obama also called a racist for attending the Reverend Wright’s church for 20 years.

Here’s what you need to know.

The talk of racism has become the lowest form of political discourse.

Even as I just went down that list, some of you at home thought to yourselves how the candidates you don’t like, probably are racist.

And when you heard the name of a candidate you support, you thought “No”, that’s ridiculous.

See how it works?

Anything that can be deemed insensitive is called racist.  Anyone who stands too close to those who say those things, are racist.

Under the examples I just gave you, are they all racists?  Maybe none of them are?

How about this year, we try to have an election based on substance, on ideas, and on political record, rather than on name calling.

And that is Reality Check.

That is racist.
