At least when you're talking to me, you're the only one talking about Obama. I don't give a fig about Obama in this conversation, just your absolutely looney, offensive idea that the word "racist" is the same as the "N" word. You know what I'm too lazy to find a better word for? Racists. So "racist" will do. It has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with calling racists what they are.

Of course I dont think its on the same level as calling a black person the "n" word.. but both parties get offended when being called those terms.
I think that is what she was referring to.

Yea, you know who especially hates being called a racist? Racists. Just like you may be aware of the people who especially hate being called homophobes are? The most hateful homophobes out there take the biggest offense from it.
And all this "oh it's the same thing" trash is just a great way to try to turn racism back around on the people who are calling it out and trying to marginalize them by making *them* look like the crazy ones. To somehow say that you can't be a racist if you don't wear a hood or belong to the Aryan Nation is positively ridiculous....much like 97% of the words Doreen has posted in this thread in an attempt to excuse racism.
