I think he was a racist (and many other things) before he became a Christian later on in life.

People can be racist no matter what "color" they are, and to answer your question - yes and no. Racist people are racist no matter what happens. My mom is white, and my dad is black. My mom grew up in Minnesota and Iowa, and my dad was a Navy brat. They meet in Iowa at college, and had 5 kids after they married. After 9 years, they moved to Tampa, and we've been here ever since. At any given time, my parents can both "act white" or both "act black." They both love casseroles and collard greens. \nMy point in all of this is that PEOPLE love American Idol, and PEOPLE dislike American Idol. Even though it's stupid, hypocritical, and racist what the people are blogging, they're gonna keep doing it till they get their mind renewed. I hope that this helps your cause.

no that doesn't make you racist...   especially if you are just showing pride in your own race and heritage.. your racist when you think a certain race is better, or think another race is inferior to yours, etc.

It's only racist if you chosse to make it racist. \n\nUnfounded racial hatred is deplorable, but the looney left have reclassified perfectly innocent phrases as racism.

And that guy's a doctor?!!! Just proves that all races can be racist. You know, if it was the other way round (a white preaching hate towards blacks/arabs/asians) there would be a $hit-storm!\n\nBut good luck to him on his mission cuz there's no way he's ever going to be able to exterminate white people! Or we could just send him to a Klan meeting ;)

Bucky, I look back at your history of questions, and while I admire people who passionately stand up for their ideals, plenty of your question headlines themselves are downright racist.\n\nIf you want to be an outspoken proponent for increased law enforcement in the arena of illegal immigration, I've got your back. If you want to make stereotypical representations of everyone who lives south of the border, count me out.

Come on now! We white folks owe blackie 40 acres and a mule. Lets face the facts, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are racist pigs. However they hide that fact. By hiding it they can get air time on t.v and radio. If you have racist attitudes or remarks you won't receive and publicity. So they get in all the papers, on all the t.v shows, and all the radio stations brainwashing people into believing we owe blackie and that we should feel ashamed of ourselves.\n   The only thing we owe black people is an opportunity. By lowering standards for a certain race of people so they can get into school or get certain jobs over more qualified people is not only wrong but counter productive.\n   By the way, I'm a Native American. I have more reasons to cry about whitey than anyone, but I don't. I understand that most people will hire or accept you if you are qualified. Especially if you can make your employer money. Every employer is racist because the only color they favor is green\n    So put down the malt liqueur, stop selling drugs, put your backwards hat on the correct way, pull your pants up to your waistline and remove yourself from the welfare line and do something for a change.

To be racist is to have intent.\nThe classic, Little Black Sambo never had the intent of anything except a writer constructing a wonderful piece of Americana. Other classics have been removed because of the political left wanting to appease persons they need to gain votes from. In America, we have a history. My black lady friend, who is a fellow PhD and from Alabama, has said it is sinful to drain history from America. She now questions the Black History Month issue, saying one-sided history is contrary to the intent of educators.\nThe issue is about Little Black Sambo being removed from the required reading lists of schools. This is not helping anything. When one side decides they don't like something, the will yell racism. But the factor nobody sees is a few black private schools making Little Black Sambo a part of their reading schedule. The intent is to never cheat the minds of the students from any pertinent material. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.\nThere are many universities that will use Little Black Sambo in their Sociology classes.\nIt seems we have gained Black History Month and are forgetting the entirety of American diversity. That is sinful.\nBy the way, some children would like to learn more about the Koran, but there is no room for the subject; schools want to appease too much.

Actually, I heard on talk radio today that the term "RACIST" is the money word.  \n\nAnyone wanting something they have not earned screams "racist".\n\nAnyone who needs a few extra dollars, sues because of "racism".\n\nAnyone who has no argument for why they are breaking the law, yells "racist".\n\nAnyone who is caught stealing identities cries "racist".\n\nBasically it pretty much used when an individual or group is doing something which is morally or legally wrong.

pay who what\n\nWhites are not racist. There is no White History Month, No WAACP, no Million White Man March.\nYou call us "Whiteboy", "Cracker", "Honkey", or "Whitey" or  "Caveman" and that's OK. But let a white guy make a racial slur and all hell breaks loose. If you shout about power to your group, that's freedom, if we shout 'White Power', that's racist. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police  officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer  running from the law and posing a threat  to society, you  call him a racist.\nI would like to see WET - White Entertainment Television.

Is this a joke?!?!?!\n\nI don't even know if I think this guy is serious or not!\n\nSeriously though, if he is, then I have 2 major concerns\n\nOne, I hear some people say only white people can be racist!  Ha!  Watch this video if you believe that\n\nTwo, people actually clapped for that!  \n\nMy goodness, what a world

I grew up in the Midwest.  Bonanza was a favorite program the whole family watched.  But then, Johnny Cash would come through on his tours.  My grandparents remember Lorne Greene as the "Voice of Doom"  during the World War.  Greene went from the family favorite Bonanza to Adama in Battlestar Galactica.  And he also put out some records.  The only one I can remember right now was something called "Ringo" and I don't mean Star.   My son discovered Cash when Johnny sang his rendition of NIN's song "I Hurt Myself Today."  Johnny remade himself over several times, Madonna's not the only one doing that.  Johnny's producers thought he was a nut job when he wanted to tour prisons and almost dropped him.  They forgot that prisoners have families and when Folsom Prison Blues and other prison songs came out of his prison tours his records sold by word of mouth.   As he got older, Nashville unabashedly dropped him, and he and June started all over again under his own label.\n\nLorne Greene may have fought many a battle on the Ponderosa, but Johnny Cash fought his demons in real life and won the heart and soul of his fans.\n\nYup, I definitely KNOW Cash could kick @$$, but he'd do it quick and clean.

PANCHITA linda, name calling is not a powerful tool. Knowledge and good argumentative statements are for the wise. The more we use the word racist, the more the actual situation converts itself into a racist issue and not the original basis for solving a problem.  I am ignoring the racist variable altogether when formulating my opinion because this is an economic issue. Be objective when standing up for a cause. Subjectivity is cause for strife.

There just remarks. \n\nYou might not be racist just because of a remark. \n\nLook at jokes on nationalities-they are just jokes and many laugh. Or jokes on men and women-we laugh. But they could be called raciest\n \n Who ever in post above ,said ba ba black sheep is right-it is how it is perceived.
