Who knows. In my experience I've never been allowed to use the term racist to anyone, they get offended and angry. This includes the people who use the word 'nigger' in front of me and who believed all blacks were X (insert whatever). They couldn't be racist, because racists were bad people who purposefully did bad things and they weren't bad people, they just believed X. But I was always a bad person for even daring suggest the term.

Nah. This is strictly tangential to an ongoing blog-flame elsewhere. I've just seen too many people quick on the trigger with "racist" or "patriarchist" or "capitalist" or other "-ists" to the point that I shake my head.
I note that some Black leaders are calling on their people to quit using the damned "N" word to each other.
