ILA, I've seen you talk about certain subjects where race isn't involved that you've shown to have a lot of knowledge on. But for whatever reason when issues of race come up you cannot hide your true feelings. And it has nothing to do with bac calling you white trash or whatever his comment was. Your attitude on race has been clear from when you first started posting here.
I am not here to prove whether or not I am a racist. As Stargazer said, can any of us really tell what is in somebody's heart? Does Howey really wish for Dixie to be shot and killed by his daughter or do you think he was "being ironic"? Do you give him the benefit of the doubt? As I have said, when it comes to matters of race, the left wingers default is to call someone a racist. Does anyone tell them to stop? Oh no. They are allowed to hurl it around just because you disagree with them. I merely throw it back in their faces. You disagree with my tactics. That is fine.
And to your comment that I think I'm above something well I'm not. I'm not above anything. But I do know I can have discussions and even heated arguments with people and not resort to dropping n-bombs or racial words that are aimed to hurt.
Again, Howey's words and BACs words were designed to hurt as well, but you don't seem to have a problem with that. You cowed to Darla, so I guess since she isn't guilting you into it you can overlook Howey's self proclaimed irony
In your case though, in my observation, no matter how you try to dress it up it generally comes across as racism. This is just my opinion and you can do with it what you please. It may be worth as much to you as one of the many homeless drug addict's advice on San Francisco's street corners. If that's the case then fair enough. You are your own man.
