Bingo.

Racist people don't believe they are racist.
Crazy people are convinced they are perfectly normal.
Stupid people have no clue they are stupid.

I am sure I have several faults of which I am blissfully unaware. Perhaps I am all of the above.

Yeah, that's how they hid lies in 1984, with newspeak. That's why I included the dictionary definition of racism. They're racists; they only deny it because of the social stigma. They're also cowards like the clansmen who hid behind hoods and made secret combinations.

But they should admit what they really are and they'll be better men, at least for that (though still not optimal men).

Or try this: "I'm a racist because God is a racist and so it's okay." See if you can write that ten times.
Door wide open.

Seattle is a racist, Seattle is a racist, Seattle is a racist ...

Aw, I feel better.

No Archea, it wasn't your turn, sweety. Please be quiet until it's your turn.

Now Tex/Johnnie/Indy, write it just like teacher just did. Write my exact worrkds. Ten times.

You will feel so much better. Honesty is so good for your soul.

What in the flying f*** is that supposed to mean? Your pea-brained sanctimony is really wearing thin.

LOL, the last time I was sent to the principals office it was because I gave my art teacher the finger.
