Well said! This argument is pointless.
TO the initial poster, I don't know why someone would feel you were racist for saying that what those girls did was wrong. It was, and they should be arrested.
TO neicy81, chill out girl! Not All white people are bad! Honest! THey don't all have to be convinced of the historical wrongs done us, or that we still face obstacles in this American society. Some, I might even be persuaded to say many, know that to be the truth.
But when you phrase things like everything is all their fault, and demonize them, you lose the very people who agree with you and whose efforts are equally important in changing the status quo.

To me a cat is something that is nice to have around the house and purrs when you pet it. Someone else might think a cat is a mangy furball that hisses, bites, scratches and carries fleas.
Since CAT has no implicit meaning but is formed by my experiences I have my very own picture of what a cat should look like.
This argument in my eyes is COMPLETELY pointless...
Ya'll might discuss (rationally) what YOU each think racism is and respect what others have to say about what they think it is.
