So... how did YOU become a racist?

125. I Was on the Racist

spectrum early on during the first campaign when I started to notice that the words being spoken did not seem to say what the liberal interpretations said they said. I think my exact racist comment at the time was, "If this were 1976 he'd be a Republican." Mostly I blamed the interpretors, but hey... I voted with full understanding of that. When Guantanamo didn't close I became a little more of a racist, but I back tracked (walked it back) when some sort of health care reform was passed. The cat food commission definitely increased my bigotry. I then went wild with hatred when I read an editorial written by a member (color unknown) of the administration stating that basically, health insurance was headed for the same type of system as the 401k and that this was inevitable. That was the pinnacle of my racism. The surveillence boondoogle really hasn't increased my racism from that level, because I feel it is more a case of Kool Aid drinking than actual race. In fact, until many DUers equated anti-snoopism with hating Obama, I never really thought of it as an Obama issue. Which also makes me a hypocrite, because I always blamed this snooping on Bush when he was in the White House. Thanks, snoop-deniers!

Oh, wait, I forgot one. Being white, and [gasp] blue-eyed, I am told that I am a racist simply by being alive, so essentially I've been racist since before conception. The very idea of me is racist.
