And every person is different.
So is every sabertooth tiger. You should be thankful your ancestors didn't use your logic.
Fantastic. Now tell us what we can assume about a black person just from his/her skin color.
I don't need to. You already know the answers.
Thoughts jumping into your head doesn't make you a racist. Acknowledging that you need to overcome those assumptions tells me that you are not a racist.Everyone's a little bit racist
But seriously everyone that claims they're not racist at all is full of shit. I was born and grew up in the south and my parents are white people who grew up in the Detroit area. So I definitely grew up with some racist influences and tendencies. I work very hard to not prejudge people or let race influence my behavior, but there's always thoughts that jump into my head first or assumptions that I have to overcome.
And truthfully probably anyone who voted "race realist" should have actually voted "more racist than most".
So tell us what we can assume about a black person with his pants around his knees listening[sic], large numbers of tattoos, and listening to rap music you could hear just as well as him.Actually you probably assume very little about a black person based on their skin color.
If you saw a black person wearing a suit and reading the Wall Street Journal you would likely make completely different assumptions than if you saw a black person with his pants around his knees listening, large numbers of tattoos, and listening to rap music you could hear just as well as him.

So you acknowledge that if you were to say what you assume then people might think you are a full blown racist? Is that why you bitched out of answering the question?I don't need to. You already know the answers.

I wouldn't make any assumptions about a person's character based on their clothing. A person in a suit could be part of organized crime and a person in loose clothing could be going to college to become a scientist or anything at all. Either one of them could enjoy fucking toasters.The same assumption you would make about a white or hispanic person with the same characteristics.

People that willingly believe in fairy tales? Yes, I judge people by their actions. Guilty as charged, lol. Of course I would never assume they are a bad person, but I will question their reasoning skill.But you do make automatic assumptions and paint a broad brush when it comes to Christian. Your bigotry is of a different stripe.

Where did I say I was better than them? They might be great people. The only thing I think I am better than them at is not believing some old book is the word of some god. The fact they they do believe that tells me they can be influenced to believe anything.Because you believe you are better than them. Simply because they believe in religion, something that every civilization in history adopted.
Yes, it isn't surprising that a racist would also judge people's character based on their attire.Actually you are very much right here. Thanks for pointing that out.

Then you're no better than the people you look down on.The fact they they do believe that tells me they can be influenced to believe anything.

I do? Where did I state that?You do as well. If you see a redneck, you assume they drive around in 4 wheelers, have a large truck, and drink beer, and fish a lot. What's wrong with that?
Once again, I've never said I am superior. I don't look down on them. I simply question their ability to determine what is real and what is not.I edited the post due to lack of proper wording
So you're saying you're superior because you believe in something different? Got it.
Then you're no better than the people you look down on.
