Never meant to imply you called me a racist (we know you would never). I just suggested you would use the world instead of the word (racism) being discussed. Furthermore; I have no idea what leads you to believe I am excited. Amused yes; excited not so much.

Not defending just explaining how it was used in context. I find my use quite a bit different that if I were to be referring to members of your class. I get the point; however, I will continue to use the word as I see fit.   

I say that because you seemed to suggest that I was "changing words" when I specifically mention the fact that the marchers weren't just singing, they were chanting Nazi slogans (while sporting Nazi symbols too). 

I am not trying to suggest general marching for a confederate statue is inherently racist. I feel like there's a disconnect between what aspect of the march we're discussing, but I keep referring back to the Nazism on display because that was a critical component of my example, something I felt was disregarded when you voiced your opposition to my original and subsequent posts. Correct me if I am wrong, but perhaps you were just reading into my posts as me remarking on the march alone and you are voicing an unwillingness to call everyone there racist (because certainly not everyone there realized it was organized by white supremacists) while i was specifically mentioning those engaged in promoting Nazism. Or just questioning what actions can actually be "racist" using the parameters of "do they damage/harm/actively discriminate" against someone"?

Also, I'd never call you a racist, so I am glad you know that. I know you aren't racist by any means. I am admittedly big on the whole "******" thing. I know you're a good guy who just has opposing opinions, you didn't mean anything shitty by the comment, so I shouldn't try to shame you about it. My apologies.

I'm hoping we can set the snark aside that the two of us have been using. I think it's clouding our responses.
