>>937192315 (OP)People who say they aren't racist, they still have their prejudices like anyone else, but they deny them, pretend they aren't there, say they believe in the opposite, which might be true, but you can never truly know.
A racist? They are honest about it, they tell you "You know what, I don't like you colored folks", which means you know exactly where he stands. From there, you can meet each other at that level and work around it. Eventually form a mutual respect for each other's boundaries, and possibly respect for each other as individuals.
You don't get that from "allies", you get smiles, side steeping stereotypes, flaky virtues, a truly strange sycophantic paradigm that makes everyone uncomfortable.
That being said, who makes better chicken, KFC or Popeyes?
