>>Ok look - one does not have to be wearing a white hooded pointy hat burning a cross in the neighbors front yard to be a racist.
No idea how you got onto that. Presuming you're referring to the Democrat legacy of Klu Klux Klan: how is it relevant? Except that racism has to be a very bad thing if you expect to silence people by calling them racist.
>> I've given up on explaining all this.
LOL. Explaining is different from loudly proclaiming faith in beliefs you can't substantiate.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
