The UK Independent picked up on this, and it's worth spreading around, I think.

When a single word can move political mountains, ignite fires second only to nuclear events or volcanoes, change the path of entire societies... something is horribly wrong. But that is what has happened with the word 'racist.' And this happening has been perpetrated and propagated solely by the Left.

Please look at this video. The bit in question -- recorded in 2001 -- starts around the 3:50 mark (Sorry about the Spanish overdub.). This bit was included as part of a showcase of Williams' work during the recent Emmys award show.

Now the show itself, as well as veteran emcee Billy Crystal, have come under fire as being 'racist' for airing that clip of Robin Williams with a pink scarf. God help us.

Los reyes de la comedia. Robin Williams

I swear, the only solution is to look every person in the face that cries "racist", and say "you're a piece-o-shit liar, FU you bastard".

When they start blubbering, just say "OK, I'll apologize for mine when you apologize for yours".

When is somebody actually gonna get mad at being called this slanderous, personally / professionally damaging slur  ?

They get away with it, and prosper with it, because we are morons who never respond to it.

There are always a few hundred or thousand illiterate LIV's who will give them progress for saying it.  We allow it and help them do it. 

Race-Card-Players and Conspiracy Theory adherents are close kin: prove a conspiracy theory is implausible or false, and you are therefore part of the conspiracy; proving you aren't a racist is an act of racism.

The only way to overcome this Race-Card-Playing tactic is to jam it down the players' throats (metaphorically, of course) and make them unacceptable to reasonable people.

Rule of thumb to me, always say what you mean and mean what you say but always, always think before you speak.  After that, let the "cards" fall where they may.  Who gives a chit what the name callers say?  Always stand by your words.     

IMHO

Liberalism is imploding on itself.  I love this.

That's the reaction they want. I'm not sayinging ore it, but better to expose their own "RACISM!"  Libs are plagues with what Bush called the "Bigotry of Low Expectations." They (libs) expect civilized behaviour out of whites, but they just don't expect much of "those people."

Race is a lot like religion. Have more than one in an area and there will always be some tension.

Isn't it kind of funny when liberals dump on other liberals!

Look him/her in the eye and say this one compound word quietly and calmly -- "race-monger."

Let this be done far and wide and the incessant cries of "racist" will disappear.

Compare Japan with Spain, Britain or France. Britain had cultural tension between the Norman invaders and the largely Saxon natives. And later it had religious tension between Protestants and Catholics. In Spain it was Muslims and Catholics, in France it was Germanics, Franks, Normans and Spaniards.

In places with tension there is always increased competition and discord, yet this generally also tends to uplift a nation. Israel might have constant violence, but they also possess the most fanatical and skilled military in the world.

In other words, Racism is just like Sex, Religion, Disproportionate treatment of the two genders, etc .... it is somthing that will always be there. The fact that Racism has become a word associated with Nazism and the Klu Klux Klan is rather unfortunate.

Being racist is inevitable if you see a clear and distinct line between "us and them" and it is for better or worse a near constant in a large percentage of the world's population.

Often than not most cases of "racial cleansing" were more closely related with the spiritual and religious traditions associated with that race or culture, such as the Serbian Conflicts, the Sudanese conflicts, and the Jewish situation in Europe. Often these dual conflicts of both race and religion can brew into something very dark and dangerous. Luckily in the United States there is often a commonality of either race or religion. For instance Christian White and Blacks, Atheist White and Asians, White Muslims and Christians. Black Muslims and Christians. What becomes a real problem is if you have Christian Germanics vs Jewish Semites, or Jewish Semites vs Islamic Arabs. There is a clear distinction between both race and religion, and the two sources of tension feed off of each other until violence erupts.

The best way to encourage Racial harmony is to have Unity in either Society, Religion, or Government. A good way to have Government unity is to have proportionality between leadership and citizenry. For instance, in Ferguson Missouri the citizenry is 63% black, therefore the governing body should also be 63% black. And preferably the police and firemen as well.

Israel's military is "FANATICAL"???

Really? We  need to have QUOTAS in government leaders?  By your reasoning BHO is disqualified on yet another level!  You really don't see your own RACISM! do you?

BTW, Spain was NEVER better off with that Muslim population. Do you even know what happened to these people whern Muslims ruled in Spain?  There is NO place on earth for these creatures.

Silicon Valley, where I live, contradicts you. There are Christians of various varieties, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, spiritualists, Sikhs, and probably a couple more religions that I can recall with facilities in the area. Yet no riots, no burnings. What's up with that?

Similarly, European, Hispanic, black, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Arab, Pakistani, and many more ... and no riots or racial violence. Was I describing by church? My workplace? My neighborhood? Silicon Valley? ..... And the answer is, E.) All of the above!

Generalizations like that generally don't work.
