A racism condoner (for lack of a better term) is someone who basically looks the other way when a racist act occurs. They do not denounce it. They even go as far as having racist friends and try to justify it away.
Honestly, you don't have to justify it to me. You have clearly chosen the path of racism.
Its one thing to condone racism of family members. My mom bitches about blacks (yes I know, a white mom with half black kids who is racist sounds disturbing), and has gone as far as to say stereotypical racist crap about them.
She doesn't see how that affects me because she has chosen to ignore the fact that I am half black.
I have to condone her racism, because she is my mom. Some whites have to condone racism of their family because its their blood. You can't just abandon your family...not unless its really causing trouble or pain or something like that, or all the other thousands of reasons kids disown their parents or siblings.
But when it comes to friends, you do choose your friends. I can't stand it when someone tells me that they have a racist friend but then try to list all the good "attributes" about them. Why are you telling me, the black girl this? It doesn't matter to me all the good reasons you are friends with them, not when the one thing about them would keep us from ever being friends.
I just have no trust in people who condone the racism of a friend.
Now you are probably asking why. In your eyes, you don't see whats wrong, if the person themselves are not racist.
But thats just it. Condoning racism is no better than being a racist. You aren't doing anything to fight the wrong. You are basically telling them its okay to be that way.
It makes you question their allegience. Which friend means more to them? I mean at some point these 2 friends of a different spectrum will come face to face. How do you plan to reconcile the vile words that will spill out?
Do you side with the minority friend trying to fight back against the verbal insults? Or do you side with the racist friend simply because you knew them longer and you feel that their racism is forgivable because of all the other benefits of their friendship that only you, get?
You can't rely on these people to come to your defense because of their connections to a racist. If they had a moral compass they wouldn't be friends with a racist.
Besides, the condoner isn't helping your situation by being accepting of racist views. If anything they are making your life as a minority even harder because they aren't fighting this racism with you.

Why I would never trust a person who condoned racism

Good news!
It was wonderful news when Terreblanche died, ridding the world of one less racist.
But Richard Barret, an American white supremacist is dead.
I don't care if I sound heartless but I have no sympathy for white supremacists. They are worthless and are expendible humans. The world is better off without creeps like that.
He has probably joined Terreblanche in hell with their savior, Satan.

Blaming blacks for crimes they did not commit
It is very common for people, especially women to blame a black person for something they did not do, simply to cover up their own crimes and wrongs.
Blacks are not allowed to have a benefit of the doubt. They are treated guilty and are rarely allowed to be innocent of something by cops and the court.
The lastest blame "the black person" game was by an Iranian woman who decided to kill her kid.
I hope she gets the chair, mostly because any bitch that blames a black person for it when they didn't do it, doesn't deserve life.
Too bad the story of the boy who cried wolf can't apply here. Meaning, if people kept blaming blacks for their own crimes, then at some point, no one will believe them when they blame a black person for something. But life doesn't work that way. Cops are too stupid and Americans fully back racism against blacks.
When reported about this, you know how whites responded? They bashed black people and said racist shit while treating this Iranian murderer like an innocent angel who didn't deserve to be punished even though they knew she did it.
Whenever someone says a black did it, that translate to police as "arrest anyone that is black" because lets face it, white people think blacks look the same.
A light skinned black wearing hollister looks the same to them as a dark skinned black wearing gangsta clothing.
I hope this bitch rots in hell though. The world would be better off without racist scum like herself.

Supreme Court Judge Stevens to retire
He knew it was a smart move, as much as I did. He is in his 90s and knows that its vitally important for Obama to get another liberal judge in before Republicans take over and destroy America.
We already see the damage that the 5 conservative "judges" have done. We need to get another liberal judge in their to keep the semi balance.
I am sick of the racist conservatives exerting legal hate and racism. Someone has to fight back.

The difference between Xenophobia and Racism
I one time remember the Veronicas (2 white girls from Australia) call this white girl from America racist. The girl (I don't remember her name) was supposed to open at one of their concerts. She got dropped and she basically blogged about how America was superior to Australia and etc etc.
The Veronicas responded by saying that she was a racist for her comments against Australians.
But the thing is, racism has to do with race. This isn't a race issue, nor is it an ethnic issue. Its a nationality issue.
All the girls involved were white. All of them come from European descent. The only difference was the basher was from America and the Veronicas were from Australia.
This is a case of xenophobia. To be xenophobic has to do with hating someone on the basis of their nationality.
When it comes to Mexican illegals entering the United States, some cases are due to racism (Neo Nazis have stated they are okay with Sweden Immigrants but not racial minority immigrants). Some cases are due to financial issues and the mistreatment of Americans at the cost of illegals (this group usually has no problems with legal immigrants). And then some cases are simply due to xenophobia, which in this case, they don't want any immigrants legal or illegal coming at all. Usually the xenophobic type are like this with the French and the British too (can you blame them?)
Speaking of which the French and the British are known for being xenophobic. In fact in Britain, they are very xenophobic against America.
Almost every country is xenophobic to an extent. No country wants to just let everyone in and change their culture. Xenophobia usually does go hand in hand with racism.
In Europe, if you are a white American, you are more likely to be forgiven for being American than if you are a Black American (although, as much as Europe hates America they thrive off our money through tourism so their tune may slightly change if you are American while being black than if you are African).
But you also have the xenophobes who aren't racist. Their reason is more legit. With the Racist Xenophobe, they will assume because of your skin tone that you will bring your culture there and ruin it. They will not get to know you and they will just hate you. But the Xenophobe who isn't racist, just merely hates the idea of people not assimilating to the culture of the country one is moving to.
Case in point: English as the language of the US. Many Americans hate the fact that Spanish people won't learn English and are trying to change the culture of America (and yes America does have its own consumer culture). They aren't racist for wanting English to be the language of America, they just want to protect the heritage and culture of their country. Why should those born in America have to learn Spanish? Shouldn't the people coming here learn English instead?
Sometimes the only thing that makes a person xenophobic is when they feel their own culture is diminishing and becoming something foreign because of immigrants. Its not asking much for those who want to move in to assimilate to the culture of that country.
But usually the most popular form of xenophobia is Racist Xenophobia inwhich they go hand in hand. It is very rare to find the xenophobia that isn't racist.

Who cares about Terreblanche?
White supremacy in Africa. How is that even possible? How can you kick blacks out of their homeland?
I am amazed it took black people that long to finally get rid of that freak of nature. That ugly man that didn't even look like a human. He looked like a dog that was beaten up.
Who cares about Terreblanche?
If white people hate it so much in South Africa, go to to Austrailia. Go to Ireland. I mean, you have no right to bring white supremacy into the continent of Africa.
A white person could never be an African just like a black person from Britian could never be an Anglo-Saxon.
I think South Africa should celebrate. Whenever a white supremacist/seperatist dies, that is a good thing. I think white supremacists should be steralized.

Michael Steele...no one feels bad for you, not even blacks
Michael Steele claimed that because he and Obama are black, they have very little room to make mistakes. Basically what he was saying was that blacks don't have 3 strikes, they only have 1 strike and then they are out.
Yes, what he said is true. But I don't feel the least bit sorry for Steele. He is just another asshole republican who like all other republicans bitched about finances or morality while doing the very opposite in their personal life and then try to justify or lie about it.
On top of that, I tend to have very little respect for conservative Blacks because they tend to support racism and rarely ever denounce it. Just look at Clarence Thomas, he is always supporting the racist white person in court, every single time.
If you knew about this kind of thing as a black man in a position that is high and even worse, a position that is on the Republican side, why on earth would you do anything to threaten that, such as the credit card spendings?
I don't like Republicans period, and I definitely don't like conservative blacks like Michael Steele.
When you go around pandering to the racists and trying to pretend you are not black, its only a matter of time before someone lets you know that you are in fact black. And no one is going to be on your side, not even your own race.
While his comments about being black and in a high level political position are true, I just don't give a crap what he has to say or how the Republicans are treating him. Its your own fault for joining the very party that you know doesn't like you.
Obama on the other hand, I feel sorry for because he is trying to do great things and everyone is beating up on him for no reason.

Political discrimination
So Doctor Jack Cassell placed a sign on his door stating he wants Obama supporters to seek a Urologist somewhere else.
There are several types of political discrimination. In this skeptic age people are becoming more and more louder about their political views.
Obama's election brought out people's true colors, and continues to do so. People are finding that they can't be friends with those who are politically different from them, while others have found that they only could if they refrain from talking about politics.
While we have laws in place prohibiting gender, racial, and religious discrimination, that doesn't mean these laws are being implemented. Is it realistically possible to prohibit political discrimination?
For starters, should people be so vocal about their political views that it creates problems such as what Cassell is doing?
I mean, unlike gender and race, you have control over your views. Should people attack you for them? No. But no one would know your views unless you made them known (although if you are black people basically assume you are a Democrat).
The problem is, what is the fine line of political discrimination and then morally being against someone's views?
For example, would you want to hire a man who you know is part of the KKK? Knowing full well they would be in contact with minorities? Those minorities could be in harm. Some would argue it would be political discrimination to hire a KKK member, others realize it would be morally wrong to hire someone who will more than likely cause trouble.
But if the only political views known is if one is a Republican or a Democrat and you didn't hire someone because they are a Democrat then that is political discrimination.
But laws are known to be vague. Just look at the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 and the 14th Amendment, they were made so vague that whites have been misusing these laws and taking them away from what they were originally for. Whites have basically used them for white supremacy causes and increasing racism.
So if one were to fight for political discrimination to be illegal, it would be dangerous to not specify because a vague ruling that its wrong to discriminate on the basis of one's political beliefs is just welcoming in the white supremacist and extreme right wing crazies.

Liberals: The racist in disguise
With republicans/conservatives, you already know their views on race. They favor white supremacy over everyone else. They fight for whites. They are not accepting of others who are different from them.
But with liberals, its a different story.
There are two type of liberal racism. One type is the "white hero" racism. They feel you can only progress with their help. They look down on you and stereotype you as ghetto.
The other liberal racism type is much more like republican racism only difference is that the liberal votes democrat. Why? Because they are liberal about everything except race. They just care much more about something such as environment, separation of church and state, and gays more than they do about white supremacy.
Most white liberals fall into one of these two categories. Very very microscopic few are actually anti-racist. Not even the ones who are in interracial relationships are anti-racist. They have racist views themselves (my mom has racist views, although she isn't a liberal, but is a Democrat).
