Accusations of "racism" are hollow sir.
Keep typing nonsense and twisting words, you will go far!!!
Let's try to stay focused. Your questions are irrelevant to this point, because again, you indulged a hypothetical wherein you grant that he IS, in fact, racist. That means that
some definition of racism exists and has been met by your neighbor. Since it's the hypothetical you yourself are indulging by tentatively granting the premise, for purposes of this point, "racism" would fall under how you define it rather than how anyone else would.
For your definition, let's go to the tape:

Now it is just a catch all phrase used to dismiss an opposing view
Okay, so your definition of racist appears to be a very narrow one that seems to contemplate that racism only exists when there is racial segregation and/or police suppression of peaceful protest. That's not how I would define it, but again, we're staying focused on the point at hand.
So from what you said, if the guy quietly pined for the days of racial segregation, you still far prefer the pro-segregationist over the people who are accusing him of racism. This would polarize you to either being racist yourself or being, at the very least, tolerant of racism.
Fair? Or am I engaging in tricky editing by quoting your own words?
