Begining a sentence with, "I'm not racist but," should be known as klansplaning.

Worded that way it means they are racist. I'm so worried about the white majority that believes every other person has had more opportunity than they have. This is what fuels the white supremacy and fascism that seems to be in power right now. They forget that we are not show dogs or show horses that have been bred and there is NOT a pure race of any kind.

That "but" in any sentence should stop us all, immediately!

ha! yeah. but be warned: "i am not a racist" WITHOUT the "but" is often mistaken for a sign of racism. it can be a bit like the old way of determining who was or wasn't a witch. you tie a weight to the suspect and throw her in the drink. if she drowns, she's innocent! by NO MEANS do i mention this to dismiss or downplay racism. it's always been ugly and it's getting louder and uglier, emboldened by our current criminal enterprise... er, i mean government.
