I'm not sure there's any point in talking to you, because you are not seeing the words coming off my keyboard.

You can apply any standard for 'racism' you wish. I am not required to follow that standard.

In fact, after reading several of these threads, I'm convinced my standard is quite different, and undoubtedly more robust, than yours.

I guess we don't see eye to eye on that.

But words have meaning and you don't get to change that, and applying another standard on a whim. The question is; does she feel that one race is superior to another? The answer is clearly no. Does she hate or is she intolerant of another race? The answer is clearly no. Did she once have reason to hate anyone of another race? I think at the age of 17 if my father had been murdered by a person of another race and the grand jury, all members of that same race, did not bring any charges against the killer, I would be tempted to harbor hatred. I feel that her story shows great character that she was able to overcome that and go on to help the White Farmer. Her story is a noble example of the best ideals of Humanity and Christian Compassion.
