Hey Billy I've even been called racist for trying to defend plans of local residents in saving a Black historic church district as a sustainable campus and national model for ending poverty and govt abuse.
If that makes me racist, then I guess it's a sign of standing up and making a difference.
Maybe you're not doing your job if you haven't been called racist for it.
So now, when I hear someone call others racist,
I look at the person doing the calling and find out why they are saying that.
It's probably a sign that certain stereotypes are being challenged,
which are mutual barriers between people to overcome, and not one sided responsibility.
Thanks Billy
I hope you continue to reach out
and understand people and views different from you
that challenge your perception and your full potential to be effective.
We can all do more, but until we meet people who bring this out in us, sometimes we underestimate how much power and influence we have to change situations around us.
See guidelines below from a nonprofit group that specializes in training and moderating forums
to work out issues without calling anyone a racist, since everyone has been affected by racism.
Clive Bundy is less racist than your heroes: Obama and Biden

GUIDELINES FOR SHARING
* We have come together to try to learn about the disease of racism and promote a healing process.
Sharing is voluntary.
* We want to create a safe, loving and respectful atmosphere.
* Sharing is about one's own feelings, experiences, perceptions, etc.
* We are not always going to agree or see everything the same way and that's O.K.
* Each person has a right to and responsibility for his or her own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs.
* It is important to avoid criticism or judgement about another person's sharing, point of view, and/or feelings.
* Avoid getting tied up in debate and argument. It rarely changes anything or anyone and tends to ultimately inhibit the sharing.
* We can only change ourselves. Our change and growth may, however, inspire someone else.
* Refrain from singling out any individual as "representing" his or her group or issue.
* It is important to give full attention to whomever is talking.
* Feelings are important.
* We will surely make mistakes in our efforts, but mistakes are occasions for learning and forgiving.
* We may laugh and cry together, share pain, joy, fear, or anger.
* Hopefully we will leave these meetings with a deeper understanding and a renewed hope for the future of humanity.
This is why you idiots keep getting your asses handed to you on a silver platter in the Senate & POTUS races
- if billy's posts are your idea of debate, I'll pass.
