We all know that they are racist, they know that we know they are racist, but when we call them out on their racism, they call us racist, because they know that being racist is a truly awful thing to be - but they enjoy the power and the spite and the hate that forms the bedrock of racism and racist behaviour so much that they will tolerate having their racism being called out. Being a racist is much fun for these racists.
Also in one I prepared earlier...
See what I did there! Interchangeable hater labels all fit, Oh my!

If you embrace white supremacy, whether consciously or unconsciously, then it's correct (to them) to think of all other people as less. If it's correct, then how can it be wrong?
If the thought is not wrong, then how can they be wrong as a person?
If it's true, white supremacy, that is - then it's not racism to believe in a fact.
That's how their minds work.
That's what we're dealing with.
People who see their white supremacy as factual. Not hate, not wrong, not bad - just the truth.
They're sick-minded people.

You are against affirmative action
You support voter ID laws
You're okay with the Confederate flag
You think sports figures should just shut up and play
You support the current president of the u.s.
And if you're racist and deny it that just makes you a racist and a liar
