Racism is being redefined like something out of a Orwell novel to mean whatever topical thing to fit a certain the boxes that means ALL whites are ALL racist ALL the time. Me? I hate domineering arrogant hateful violent males that hate whites and think the melanin of their skin makes them immune from criticism. **** YOU if you think being black means you are above criticism or scrutiny. BLM doesn't care about real issues, like say Black drug overdoses, the high incidence of diabeties or heart disease or the HUGEMONGOUS black on BLACK murder rates? No just like 9 black males shot by cops last year. So its a ego-power thing, so lets OUT the ASSHOLES in the BLM. They don't give a flying shit about black lives, its just an empty name.
MaryL these 3 cops told the person who was investigating them that they are not racist. There are only two conclusions one can reasonably draw. That they truly don't consider such behavior as referring to black people using the 'N' word as racist, or indicating that they can't wait for the race war to begin so that can go out and slaughter some "f-----g n-----rs' as racist or that they were willing to lie to the investigator knowing that they are racists and refusing to admit it. Neither conclusions is viable nor is it a redefinition of the word 'racist'.
The problem it appears you all have is that white racism in the United States of America is not, nor ever has it been about one thing. It's not about referring to black people utilizng the N racial slur, it's the ingrained belief that the black race is inferior to the white race which manifests itself in a myriad of way, being called the 'N' word is only one of them.
Don't forget that white racism was incorporated into the laws of our country as well as it's socials mores. Animosity and oppression of black people was socially and legally the way things were and even though it's no longer legal or acceptable, at least not in polite society, that mindset of white supremacy is still very strong trying to reverse any advancements made on this front.
This is not our imagination, this is not what we wish things to be. EVERY day, a new case comes to light presumably because of the advance in technologies that prove the things we've been saying forever.
And you are being disengenuous when you claim that black people are painting whites as ALL racist ALL of the time because that's not anywhere near the truth. Our complaint is with the white racists however as long as they and their supporters continue to insist that racism doesn't exist and that they are not themselves racist, then it's just going to get louder and more in-your-face until an avalanche of evidence overcomes them.
