Thank you :) We all need to recognize each others' humanity regardless of politics.
I recognize the word "racist" can hurt, so I try to use it very carefully. I was probably not careful enough in this meme but I was coming off of a very dispiriting debate with someone who was carelessly throwing around KKK imagery and calling Democrats modern-day slavers. Again... venting.
I hope to wield it not as a weapon but as a literal description of attitudes. It may be overused in some cases, but it is still a necessary word that describes real attitudes that some people unfortunately still hold.
