and in case the zebra comment didn't get you....

i just remembered something else mr. bright pants said. he told me he used to fill in at the high school i resigned from. he asked about what happened with the football team, and when i told him what they shouted and the aftermath, he responded with "i taught those kids. those are all good kids. there's not a racist in the bunch." really? i am so goddamn tired of that response to what these kids did. how exactly do you define what a racist is? if yelling "kill n***ers" doesn't fall into your definition, maybe you need readjust your criteria. what exactly does it take to be considered a racist around here? lynching? being a part of the KKK? i would say that being a subtle racist still makes you a racist, but it's not even about subtlety! you screamed for the destruction of other groups of people based on their race, sexual identity, and religious affiliation. that makes you a racist, homophobe, and anti-semite. done.
