Where have I "constantly" said that racism didn't exist in a particular situation?
ETA: I looked back at the two most recent "race threads," and the only substantive comments I made were the following:
1) I disagreed with your labeling of Republican party leaders (where my precise issue is with your broad generalization about all Republican party leaders; I'm not disputing that there are racist individuals belonging to all political parties);
2) I tried to explain my understanding of why comments made to a white person wouldn't qualify as "racist."
3) I discussed emminent domain in response to one of AKA Monet's posts.
I don't see where I've "constantly" asserted that racism didn't exist.
ETA again: By two most recent "race threads," I mean this one and the one about the pool in the News and Politics thread. I only limit it to those threads because I can't think of other threads where I've been involved.
