Barkley is a racist.

A lot of slave owners were happy to have sex with their slaves. TJ had something of a relationship with Sally Hemings, so he didn't just use her, but he would never have married her.

So he liked sex with black women. Does that mean he wasn't a racist?

My apologies. I take it back. He hates Iowa though.

No, I'd have to say Jefferson was racist. He wouldn't marry Hemings because she was black.

No, I'd have to say Jefferson was racist. He wouldn't marry Hemings because she was black.

And just because someone is married to someone that automatically erases their prediposition to others of that race?
I honestly don't care that Barkley is a racist. I do care that there is a giant double standard when it comes to perceived racism. I have known many minorities that we're overt racists.

We could probably drop the term snowflake too while we are at it. That’s the go to for some when they are pissed off.

Well, I am not pissed off.

Ah, so the real reason for your post. You assume a double standard on my part, and it is a false assumption. We agree that racism isn't exclusive to white people. It isn't clear, but we may disagree about Barkley. I don't see sufficient evidence to say he's a racist. In fact, I see evidence to the contrary.
