“I’m not a racist, but…”
Just once, I’d like to see someone say “I’m not a racist, but…” and then say something that’s not racist. Like: “I’m not a racist, but…I like candy canes. Really. I like them a lot. I know they’re sugar and food coloring, but they remind me of Christmas, and I have a lot of good memories of the holidays.”
I have an odd respect for people who admit they’re racist. At least they’re self-aware. That counts for something.
Post inspired by man-on-the-street videos after the Kentucky and West Virginia primaries. I have to say though, I’d rather have people talk about this stuff out loud than keep in hidden.
