I am sorry. I totally missed it as being sarcasm, that was my fault.
Not an excuse for my sensitivity, just explaining. I post / chat elsewhere and have also had the racism charge labeled to me only in a real attempt to impugn for similar comments I make which are obviously not racist.
You are right about it being thrown around. Every liberal out there immediately goes to racist not, even just to preemptively label a person.
Dear member of the human race. When the accusation of racism is trotted out, it has meant to me an admission that the accuser’s argument was lost. Rather like tipping over the chess board.
