Pretty sure there was sarcasm inserted into that. ..Now your being racist..?
Lol I kid. But really, everything people does these days can turn into some terrible racist meaning and people take it the wrong way.

I don't think it is but i remember watching that saying if it was the other way, the black community would be crying racism. I am in no way a racist but i know Al Sharpton or someone would be marching around claiming racism against pepsi. Amen. Its sad, very sad. Racism is NOT a one way street, but several individuals such as Mr. Sharpton treat it as such. Heck, where I'm from, I'm in the minority, as 80% of the area is made up of black individuals. Heck, I even dated a black girl. Yet I was deemed racist because I supported John McCain in the election. The point is... people are stupid, and will read whatever they want from whatever they see. Racism in a pepsi ad, Sting in a WWE ad, whatever, it doesn't really matter, people will believe whatever they want to believe.

nope, not racist at all.
the trouble these days is a lot of people don't understand what racism is. racism is simply treating someone differently purely because of their race. believing in racial stereotypes is also a form of racism, as is racial tokenism (eg. a company overlooking peoples skills and personality, and simply hiring someone because of their race in order to fill a "quota" of racial diversity)
a lot of people have very ignorant ideas, such as that describing someones appearance as "black" is racist (it's no different to saying someone has green eyes), or that white people can't be racially discriminated against (racism against racial majorities is very common), or that its racist to dislike or disagree with a person who just happens to be an ethnic minority (in cases where the dislike/disagreement is based on their personality/opinions and nothing to do with their race).
i was going to end my post by saying parents and schools need to educate kids as to what racism is... but actually theres a hell of a lot of adults who don't understand racism too, including intelligent and successful people in important jobs such as in government.

Although I didn't get one bit of it, I still know it's not racist.

To a racist, that's quite correct. Or because considering anything like this as an attack on a race means you (you as in anyone, not you as in you personally) are overly defensive of a race anyway. A black man is allowed to be seen bossing around a white man on tv, but not the other way around because it is considered racist. If in a movie, god was cast as a white man it is considered racist, if a black man plays him, then it isn't. It's concept of racism is totally rediculous. Nothing is racist.
