Is it worse to call someone a racist or to be one?
This is a great elucidation of something I was trying to get across during the trans-racial adoption seminar I did on Saturday. Namely, that the absence of lynchings and assassinations (Oakland aside) does not mean the absence of racism. That there is subtle, institutional racism that continues to oppress people of color. See also one of my favorite quotes ever.
