You might be a racist if ...

In the past few months, the R-word has been freely tossed around, to the point where it doesn't mean anything any more.

In the past, racists were easy to pick out. They were the ones wearing the white hoodies. The ones passing out ax handles to keep black folks out of their restaurants. The ones who assume -- and build policy around the assumption -- that a certain class of people was incompetent and needed special rules to level the playing field (see: Affirmative Action). But now, it's a tougher call.

I've heard "racist" applied to those who disagree with the policies of a president who just happens to be black. Now, that's a real leap in logic, but that's a whole 'nother rant.

Check out the flow chart, courtesy of missourah.com to determine whether you, in fact, may be a racist. It's interesting.
