Ok, I do know some that are not racist, but it seems the vast majority are though.

I'm glad he's seen the light on racism and bigotry, given that Hustler published some really racist cartoons and most pornography relies trades heavily in racist stereotypes about African American, Asian, and Latina women.
Still, am I happy he's a thorn in the side of so many GOP f***wads? Yes.

I know Democrats who are racist. It's accurate to say that the Republican Party's policies are racist.

Not the people that you know.

(61,622 posts)5. His comment is a rhetorical approach
His meaning is clear. The Republican policies speak for themselves. No need for us to get distracted with arguing about which individual is racist. Meanwhile, Rand Paul is gathering steam. Now THERE is a racist!
