Sure, we live in a "post-racial" America

I am not above accepting criticism or correction. Humility is the better part of learning.

I have either misinterpretted the meaning of your post or you have something to teach me. Either way, I would like an explanation.

Here's the part where you get all Cireus and ask me to explain how some folks diluting something does not mean that thing ceases to exist, but I was just so impressed with your attempt that I thought I'd give a compliment while pointing it out and I gave it a half-hearted attempt at funny/racist terminology so it would be comfortable (it wasn't anti-white, so we're cool, right?).

I like dogs, but I do discriminate against cats.

Im gonna admit, I actually looked up cireus just to make sure I wasnt being trolled with something.

You are correct. A more appropriate phrase would be, "the meaning of racism has become so diluted and perverted as to be rendered useless".

Of course, I do not believe that racism as a part of the human condition is dead. I dont think it will ever be dead. As long as humans retain free will, some will use that gift to continue being ignorant.

Only if you want it to be useless. BTW, doesn't this make the rest of your post useless?

I dont think we are tracking EZ.
Im talking about perception vs. reality.

Replace "meaning" and "rendered" with "perception" and "perceived" in the quote from me and see if that helps explain what I am talking about.

Here, allow me.

I admit my head is not 100% in this conversation right now, so interpret accordingly.

It's all ********, but the hipsters with their peace and love crap are especially annoying.

There is a difference between hipsters and hippies.

Hipsters wear "ironic" shirts, whereas it's ironic if a Hippie is wearing a shirt.

Hipsters listen to music you've never heard of, whereas Hippies listen to music everyone else outgrew.

Hipsters use artisan soaps, whereas Hippies smell like old art.

Hipsters say "What's up man!", whereas Hippies say "What's up, maaaaaaaan?"

So which is better Hipster or Hippie?
Does either group have a tendency toward violence?
What are the literacy rates for each group?
Do neighborhoods populated with either group have a rise or decline in home values?
As one more familiar with Hippies, I must admit a certain amount of bigotry against them. It is strictly based on personal experience, however, not just stereotypes.
