Many of you have read my posts as Drunk Commies, Drunk Commies Reborn and now as Drunk Commies Deleted. Do I come off as racist? Tactical Grace seems to think that I am.

Yes, you are, but that's because we all are. We can't help it, it's human nature. Acting like one is another matter.

I don't think that the name is racist, though. I mean, some commies are drunks, some drunks are commies, and maybe some even reborn.

If you think I'm racist please tell me what gives you that impression. Thanks.

Absolutely not. You are sincere and direct with your replies to various topics. Perhaps some of your views might not be the popular opinioin(same as me sometimes), but you are always open to discussion and respect others opinions even if they differ from yours. I have never witnessed any racist remarks from you. I think you accept people for who they are, no matter if they are red , yellow, blue or black.

Thanks Peech.

Welcome back!

According to Dictionary.com, a racist is:

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

I'm pretty sure everyone falls into the second category to some extent. I do, though I try not to.
I wouldn't call you a racist unless you think some races are superior to others though.

Thanks Peech.

Welcome back!

Thanks sugar :)

I think sometimes people are so quick to say someone is racist. Say you disagree with something someone from another race has done. If you express that, 9 times out of 10 people assume you are badmouthing the race. It doesnt matter who does it, I'm going to be honest with what I think about things. Doesnt have anything to do with race.

Same goes for countries or regions or whatever. Just because I dont like the way "Suckeronians"<yeah I just made that up>manage their country, doesnt mean I'm against them. And just because the blue family down the street has poor taste in music,no fashion sense and extremely large hubcaps, doesnt mean I'm racist against the blue people.

Some of my best friends are blue ;)

I wouldn't worry about it one way or another. In this day and age if you show any like of your own race and not favoritism to anothers, someone is going to call you a racist. It has also become a handy word just to toss at someone to insult them if they disagee with you or if they wish to cast shade on you with others. If you were a racist for real...there would be no doubt in your own mind and you would never even have to ask the question.

agreed. and in the PC world, disagreeing with or disapproving of a course of action = phobia.

Oh, I see. No, not particularly, no. Or maybe I haven't paid much attention. Who are you?

Right. Because all racists know that they are racist. Especially the people who say "I'm not racist but ..." and then proceed to say something racist.

Were there particular posts that people objected to?

hey, we are all at least speciesists.

I think he objected to a couple of threads that I started that said some cultures haven't embraced western concepts of human rights and equality and that those cultures are inferior to western cultures.

ha! AKA "The Spineless Racist" That does tend give one the hint they know in advace what they are about to say is completely screwed up.
Personally, I prefer the ones that just say, yeah, I am, so what. They may be considerably more unstable, but at least they are not sneaky little shits.

No more than anyone else from what I've seen Drunk.

Everyone is a little bit racist in their own way. We grow up in racist cultures it's impossible to avoid it.

Your posts have never struck me as race related.
