I'm curious in a way to see how folks on the board react to Trump saying someone hates God and religion, when they clearly don't. I know we have some Protestants on the board. I wonder how they feel about an authority figure defining the tenets of religiosity for another person.

So far today, I'm not heard any current GOP candidates denounce Trump's "Biden hates God" assertion. I imagine there has been some, but mostly just tap dancing, from what I've seen.

Not it is not. There is an antagonistic element to racism. This is an example of proactively including a portion of the population (black women) who have never been selected for this particular job before (VP).
By excluding every other race. Thus, racism. Lol
 
If every pool builder in the past had been blue, then no, it would not be racist.
If every pool builder in the past had been blue and you said "I'm not going to hire a white pool builder, I'm sticking with blue", that would be racist.

And remember..............it's all on a continuum.
So we solve racism by discrimination?
 
Motivation matters... is your policy one of inclusion or exclusion? It matters.

Let's say you own a small business and have the capacity to employ 10 people. The first 9 people you hire are white... so you decide that in the best interest of cultural diversity that the 10th employee will be selected only from a pool of your best black applicants... while that next hiring policy is being discriminatory against whites and could even prevent the most qualified applicant from being hired, it is not racist. You are being inclusive, not exclusive.
How about this. I need a job and I am white, I walk into a minority owned business that is looking to hire. They have no white people on staff. They should hire me to be inclusive right? It would be exclusive= racist to keep hiring minorities.

And for the sake of argument let's say I am qualified for the job.

๐Ÿ˜‚. The sleight of hand of the 1960s.

It isn't racism if we say our racism is actually just compassion and inclusion. Sure bud.
