I dislike the President because he clearly wants to take away my guns but that is not acceptable. I cannot disagree with him on that subject or any other without being a racist. I'm a closet racist whether I even admit it to myself or not. If I weren't a racist, I would see that he is right on gun control and everything else. I just use gun control as an excuse for my racism.

Funny, like you, I was raised in a military family. I lived in military housing which was a melting pot of ethnic backgrounds and races. I played with kids from those multicultural families all the time and never thought anything about it. We moved every two to three years and we would pick up the next group of culturally diverse kids and keep right on playing. It wasn't until I got to high school in mid-State PA that I realized that there were places that did not have the same cultural diversity that I had always lived in. In spite of all that, however, I'm a racist.

A pretty close parallel to the Z case. Never heard of it before this morning.
