Seriously, what the eff?

Let me break it down for you. When someone constantly says that racism doesn't exist in a situation because it isn't blatant, then that person clearly has a problem recognizing subtle racism. Quite a few people on this board have tried to say that an incident that clearly had racist overtones was not racism. You don't always have to see a hood and sheet for there to be racism.

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.

I hope she's confusing you with me - I have a much larger substantive posting history in these threads, but I don't think I've ever claimed anything needed to be "blatant" to be racist (indeed, quite the opposite).
Let the games begin?

It happens - we're pledge brothers and friends from college, and we joined the site around the same time, so you'd think we would have been able to choose more easily-distinguishable user names...

I kind of like it this way - it ups my street cred. You know, on the streets. Where cred matters.

No, I get what you think you're trying to say.
My post was indicating that you're a Class-A moron who can eat my poo. I bet you think I'm being racist!

No actually I think that with a response like that, you are the last person who should be calling someone a moron.

Hi, it's a reference to something else entirely.
You are not smart. Please move on and leave us alone.

You need a hobby.
I'd also like to know what you pour in your Lucky Charms everyday, because it has to be magically delicious (if you know what I mean) for you to come up with some of this stuff.
