They are so used to lies, the truth is a slap in the face.

It's because a lot of people don't know what the real definition of a racist is. Some people think a racist means an evil white person.

A lot of them refuse to believe that they are racist and don't realise that the way they look at the world is fundamentally flawed. They tend to begin their rants with "I'm not a racist but..." and seem to think that "racist" is a term used to delegitimise and silence their views. They don't understand that the stupidity of their views is what delegitimises them, and the destruction caused when people with such views were in power is why they are shouted down in public discourse.

People who are racist often to do believe that they are, strangely. Or they think that racism is bad but somehow their prejudices are logical. It can be very perverse listening to them try and justify their racist views with lots of examples - like somehow the actions of a few people can justify painting everyone with the same brush due to skin color when there are millions is instances when people act in ways that do not their views - somehow the racist is not interested in collecting these tales...or hearing them.

I don't get offended. Everyone needs to be like me and just admit that they are racist.

No kidding...thats a good question, but so true. People like that are dumb anyway, and, well, I pay them no mind.

Because in their mind, they're right. If I called you a flaming liberal, a practicing heterosexual, and a committed monogamist, would you be upset? You probably would be, at least until you found your dictionary.
