Oh please, NO. That was not an act of racism. Don't go there.

Why do you think black people "always pull the racial card?" Also, though slavery no longer exists, the idea that black people are inferior is not.

Gates is an example of crying Wolf when there was none. And another favorite of mine, Spike Lee.
I sincerely hope you do not support affirmative action.

whoa. Umm... hate to burst your bubble, but I've seen so many white people pull the racial card too. Trust me, when I say that just because it was used years and years ago as a way to describe African americans, doesn't make it right. It's like saying that the word GAY is ok to use to someone because it was used to long ago. Same with queer. (gay=happy and queer=weird) ((Just in case))

Racism is a human flaw. Just as some white people may be racist, so can African Americans.

But what if someone were to use "white trash" and no one came to you?

Not everyone is as sensitive as you.
