It's basically like having a couple of KKK sympathizers around only they're complete pussies who will attempt to soften everything they say with inane semantic arguments, or euphemisms that don't really mean anything.
Luckily it's probably like five people who post regularly who will always come in and employ these same tactics, where on the rest of the internet the stupidity is just overwhelming.
There is a legacy is institutional racism in America. To think that this would just disappear overnight is ridiculous, especially when people say downright racist shit all the time.
Do you understand the concept of basic human equality as it applies to racism?
Do you disagree with the statement: 'Humans can be grouped into mutually exclusive groups aka races using designated identifying characteristics that will enable meaningful predictions about behavior or capability'?
If you can honestly answer both of these questions without a prolonged 'but....' afterwards, I think it is safe to say you're not a racist.
"meaningful predictions about behavior or capability"
Not on individuals, but it can predict the probabilities as a group, I'm sorry you don't like this reality, but it's the truth.

Well I am telling you it is from a documentary on voodoo. I made it myself and I know that is what it is. I didn't pick her because she was black, I picked her because I liked the motion.
Is that hard to understand? Do you think I should change it because it is offensive?
I don't even know why black people are associated with raccoons in your mind, the term coon is actually a shortened form of the frenchPortuguese word barracoon, which is derived from the word barracks not raccoon. It's a historical relic that might make you associate black people with raccoon, but ultimately that just shows your ignorance.

Lol.
Chill, my dude. I'm not calling you racist, but I had that impression before you explained it to me. Even then, I thought it could be some sorta internet meta funny thing.
Slang derogatory term for black folk is "coon". Put all this together and it isn't difficult to understand how I came to the conclusion.
Chill.

Sorry I get all worked up these days when I think people are trying to turn racism on me. I was misunderstanding what you said. I should be happy if it amuses you, racism or no, but I am on the defensive on this topic because every time I express that I think racism sucks people will get on my case over it.

It's his "white privilege" at work, he can't even recognize how insensitive white people can be.

That's fine, I enjoy it still but it'll be gone sooner or later. People accuse me of seeking out racism everywhere because I take issue with limited statistics and anecdotes being passed of as facts regarding the character of an entire "race" designated solely by skin color.
I like being able to make jokes and not to constantly rehash this over and over, but I think a joke regarding race should at least be clever and witty and not just perpetrating tired old stereotypes to get a reaction out of people. That's why I wouldn't really try to pass my sig off as a clever statement on race. It's not really that clever, but if it makes people think in an unintended way, that's good art I guess.

honestly most would not care but you'll get that one person who it really does offend, so it's touchy.
