I think the Supreme Court would like to have a word. They literally just voted to take the vote away from POC, by removing the VRA of 1965. Yall can put lipstick on a pig,,.. but it’s still Jim Crow.

I believe we agree. This response must be directed at the person I replied to.

Got it. If I'm following correctly I would say in that case no you are not racist for not wanting to associate with that group. I would not want to associate with a group that established it's whole state based on ethno/religious supremacy either.

You and I having an opinion of that group based and its members past behavior is not racist. That group is very well off financially and you and I having an opinion about them even if ignorant or untrue doesn't really alter that groups reality or proximity to power which are two things that are supposed to be the Hallmark of racism.

I was doing a couple of things at the same time I was writing in this thread. So apologies for my word salad. Also, I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond.
Sorry I put you through that mumbo-jumbo.
In a nutshell, I don't think one has to wield power to be a racist.
I've known plenty of people over the years who were not rich nor powerful.
In fact, they were in a minority group due to skin color, religion, etc and they were, in my estimation, bigoted mfers.
In many ways I was glad they had no control over anything.
I also think people have a right to associate with whomever they want to be that neighborhoods, schools, etc as long as they are not breaking laws or hurting people.
