Racism is a moral issue. We are all racists, thus we all have to deal with the issue in the same way. Racism is never acceptable, but an examination from a systemic or social perspective is stupid.

You're right man! You are so insightful! Please help me see the light! I bet you drive a really fast car too!

Take the prententious self-righteousness elsewhere, and stop being a bitter old man. On an anonymous internet message board, your opinion is as worthless as mine. Don't forget that.
