This is a dangerous accusatorial political behavior that is reminicent of the times and has frozen our country politically. The two most important issues of our time are how to respond to the 9/11 attacks and what to do about the rampant immigration changing the racial and cultural makup of our country at an astounding pace. However anyone who gives their views on these issues is swiftly and easily swept aside by someone accusing them of being racist. People will claim if you support neoconservativism you are racist against Arabs, others if you oppose it you are racist against Jews.
From my experience the people pointing the fingers yelling racism are actually the racists themselves. From my experience whites are the least racist people, and other races throw out the accusations because most whites will make any concessions, do about anything to avoid being accused of this. Take for instance many liberals. Their two biggest issues were labor, pro union; a living wage, and preserving the remaining environment in the USA. Both these issues would lead them to oppose mass immigration. When there is low demand for workers, ie unlimited supply from a pourous border, wages are low. However the powers that control the liberals were told it is xenophobic and racist to oppose limiting immigration, and without any fight they became pro immigration. Communism, like neoconservatism, can also be called a Jewish movement. From Marx to the Bolsheviks, to the ones in Germany or America who promoted it. The hard core anti communist Bircher society types are often accused of being anti-semitic. So where are these accusations of racism freezing whites in their tracks taking us? The democratic party has basically become socialist/communist and the republican has become neoconservative. The roots of these movements are Jewish so if you strongly oppose either of them you will be suspected of being anti-semitic. Most Americans go around pretending not to care. I would say if someone falsly accuses you of being racist, they are your enemy. They are throwing out the term to damage you. The accusation of racism is too negative for people to be allowed to throw it out without evidence. It should be fought, whether peacefully in court or by any means necessary.
My point is that the term racism is so subjective that it is basically meaningless. Like I point out how you feel on neoconservativism can be construed as racism. The only way you can avoid being 'racist' is to have no position at all. There is an academic movement where many phd's say all whites are racist. Therefore they could conclude that any white person donating to any campaign is doing it for racist reasons, expecially if the candidate is white as well. Honestly it doesn't really matter if the person giving money is racist, but if the candidate is advocating racist policies to be put in place it does. I suppose the example that pops to mind that I can think of is the NAACP. They are a racist organization by definition and they support putting racist policies into place for grant moneys, entrance into education/jobs, and obviously thats a dangerous precident to support. And I don't think that there is anything wrong with pointing out these policies would be racist. The problem is if people accuse others of being a racist, which is a severe charge that has instantly ruined many great men, this charge should not be thrown at an individual level at a person because they hold some political belief. Even though I think the NAACP supports racist policies, I would not accuse a member/supporter of the NAACP or a candidate they support of being a racist. Inevitably though like the origonal poster we may have a suspicion that the other person feels that way politically to gain a racial advantage. This is leading me to wonder if multicultural societies can even work over the long haul. Even if there was 0 racism, simply this suspicion of racism would cause a backlash causing racism and racist tension to return.
I disagree on your use of terms. One can easily avoid being racist and that, in and of itself is a position on the issue.
The only way you can avoid being biased is to have no position at all.

Disagree or not, your "avoidance" of being called a racist is well documented.
And confusing "bias" with factual recognition is dishonest at best.
These folks have been with us throughout history by one name or another. They think they are the elite, they are smarter, they usually are wealthier. There will always be some who have power and believe they are the ones who need to run the masses.
If the masses ever got their sh!t together and organized (the unions are one example) we could kick these people out. Unfortunately today, too many of the Masses are watching Britney Spears, Survivior, Sound Bites etc.
I use the term neo con. I am not anti-semetic. I have spoken out against the actions of the Israeli state, but I like Jewish people. They are very nice.Okay, I guess I'll sink this here...
Does anybody besides me think the term "neo-con" is a term used to hide anti-semitic leanings? It's been my observation that the people who throw the term around the most (and I haven't seen it here, so I feel safe bringing it up here) are people who are socialist, anti-religion, and specifically anti-Jew. When I objected to the way a person was using the term on another board, I was unceremoniously tossed out on my ear. Now I've gained access to that board (I don't expect it to last for long) and that same person is still going on about "Neo-cons"...and also going on about all the reasons abortion is okay, and touting basically eugenestic (sorry, you hopefully know what I mean) strategies for eliminating un-desirables.
So that's the question. Am I off my rocker? Because this wasn't my only experience in seeing that. It seems to me that every time I see someone on a "Neo-con" rant, i.e., ranting against the neo-cons, calling people neo-cons, etc., they are actually ranting against Jews in power and will actually detail all the harm that has done, and then go on an anti-Israel spiel.
No, this is not directed at Shogun, who thank GOD hasn't gone down the neo-con hatred road yet.
I thought it had something to do with new convicts!?!?!?!??!!? In other words, I know a neo con when I see one and those that I haven't met yet I will see on the news or in court.
Isn't that what I said?
Very close but not precisely.
Could you put it in more layman terminology?
If you are scared, say you're scared!!!!!!!!
"Ha" ain't shit to me.
As in Ha Ha, I thought you were making a joke. Our posts are saying the same thing.
