Puzzling. Many racists wear that label proudly and even hold rallies to celebrate it. Other racists get angry when you call them on it. Why?

Isn't being proud of being white and saying so okey dokey with everyone? Why not  hold rallies and give it shout outs to drown out those who disagree ? You're either proud or ashamed. I don't see how there is a substantive middle here.

    IIt's the people who don't recognize the racism within themselves that can be the most damaging because they don't see it.  -Sterling K. Brown

    I completely disagree with thee m'dear. I could not disagree with you more. Why? Because the real hardcore racists DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE and act upon it 24/7. Those who don't recognize it in themselves will not be locked and loaded looking to take out those who offend them because of color or lifestyle or religion or politics. So we disagree. So what, right? Thank you for your reply Beans/SG and Happy Thursday to thee.
