      I think if we're going to (reasonably) define racism quite broadly, then we have to think of it as a bad personal trait, not a horrible one.

      If most people are racist, and most people are not horrible, then many racists are not horrible.

          let me ask, if she had said "some" would this be covered as extensively?

          I feel like it wasn't. But as a politician you have to watch what you say. She spoke flippantly and that can be tricky.

          exactly. I read it that way. In context, as a whole. But don't expect the entire American public to see it that way.

          It's a bit more complex than that. People who are not horrible can still do, and/or contribute to, horrible things.

          And please realize bc you are not on the receiving end of racism, it is easy to say it is not always horrible. Classic privilege.

          Do not agree with this. You're not born hating, it's not a genetic marker. You choose to hate. Racism is pretty horrible.

          You certainly don't change hearts by calling everyone who disagrees with Dems' ideas "racist"
