geeblock is worried he is one of the 95%

At this point I’ll be member of the 5 percent nation

So what percent of black people does this represent? 

Edit why not 100%? The other 5 percent is cool?

No clue to the bolded. 

100% would be a bullish statement.  I am sure the other 5% have other reasons  that they believe they are not racist.  Probably the same reasons as the white progressives I referred to.

Any major dude will tell you.

The point of the comment if you read the article, was  that after making a kamala Harris watermelon to go next to her trump pumpkin, she said she wasn’t racist and touted her 30 year police record of being non racist 

I didn't read the article.  I just found that conclusion amusing considering how it must lead.  I'm sure the watermelon lady is racist.  There always have been and always will be people who are racist in their beliefs.  I kind of dread the next however many years of focusing on it as it relates to Kamala Harris.  Instead of celebrating the fact that a black/Indian woman is the VP of the united states, every white trash racist remark directed at her will be focused on as an example of our racist society.  It gets exhausting.

Okay, I've read it.  An article about some dumbass who did something stupid and racist and lost her job.  Your the one who added the "studies show" comment about the more racist people are the less they see themselves as racist.  I didn't see these "studies" cited in the article, so I assume you were editorializing.  According to that logic, if someone is not a racist, they must think of themselves as a horrible racist.  I was just taking your reasoning to its end.  

Racism is bad and I am glad we live in a day and age where it is generally unacceptable to express or act on racist views.  That's not everywhere and everyone of course, but that will not ever be attainable.  Some people have hate in their heart whether its based upon race or some other factor.  I will also say this - if you want to see racism everywhere, that's what you'll see.  Just like if you wanted to see any other type of injustice everywhere.

Everyone is shocked that geeblock thinks most people are racist

You are one of the dumbest people on this site incapable of having a conversation because this comment is as deep as you can get. Way to be consistent tho.

Another fun fact of the study was that the higher a person rated their knowledge of politics the less likely they were to actually know anything about politics which is definitely evident reading posts here 

Also before responding just like take some time and ask yourself why when you read an article ( I get that you probably didn’t even click on it yet still made the typical angry conservative OC response) like that your first response instead of saying wow that is messed up, is well geeblock is racist and black people are racist too or well why does everything have to be racis?. What makes you so angry about the post? Probably a good convo to have with yourself.

I did read the article. It wasn't a difficult read.  My response was in reference to your "studies," that you didn't share at the time.  I actually agreed with the studies you didn't post, so I am not sure why your panties are in a bunch.

I was up smoking pork shoulder 

I haven't read the article yet, but reading through the posts the thought immediately came to mind that Ibram Kendi would be in ecstasy.
