disability, lynchings, accusations of pedophilia

Imagine if a shop owner gave an African-American a job and felt like a great person for giving black people jobs, like it was a charity.
We can't really speak because only when found in such a situation can you judge it as racism or not!
Imagine if the same person gave a white man a job instead, now people could argue he's a white elitist, i just gave an example of things that DO happen.
Just meant to say that her view point was reasonable, not correct.

Disgust....

When you acknowledge someones right to choose but still hate him for doing this in a certain manner - hate

When you think someone doesn't deserve to have rights and "its" presence fills you with disgust and hate, because in your opinion it does not, and should not have any. - disgust

Imagine seeing a guy in a wheelchair, pfft, he isn't even a human being.. can't even move... I couldn't live like that, I would kill myself... I... I think he should kill himself, just using up resources, and making us(the people around him) sick to the stomach.

It might be argued like that, because it's an example of human weakness not a man who was unlucky(or even lucky in some cases).

It doesn't have to be considered charity. Maybe it's just him trying to atone for the sins of his ancestors? And basically, that's what affirmative action was supposed to be about, making sure that people, black, white, red, yellow, were chosen for jobs based on their abilities, not their color.

Imagine if the same person gave a white man a job instead, now people could argue he's a white elitist.

I'm sure there are those that would say that. But what if that white man, or woman, was the only qualified applicant? I experienced something like this, indirectly, a long time ago. A job opening came up in the company I worked for. There were many qualified applicants, both black and white, both male and female. There were, however, no qualified black female applicants. The company wound up hiring an UNqualified black female in order to fill the quota prescribed by law. While I wouldn't consider that racist, it most certainly was discrimination.

It might be argued like that, because it's an example of human weakness not a man who was unlucky(or even lucky in some cases).

I contend that only ignorant bigots would argue in that way. But when the ignorant bigots are in the majority everyone else suffers.
