White Supremacy, Overt and Covert

If denying racism is a sign of racism, then by definition racism must continue until the Lord returns.
If believing, "We're just one human family" is racism, is believing people of other races are sub-human somehow non-racial?
If saying, "it's just a joke" is racism, does that mean I have to take this post seriously? I don't think so.

Only the Lord God of the Holy Bible is SUPREME!
Deplorable chart purports to read minds and motives of people.

I've never been such stupidity.
I feel bad for folks so completely obsessed by race.

I know it's still early, but that's the stupidest thing I've seen so far today.

When I saw the chart in the OP I just chuckled. No one of my status is paying any attention to that line of reasoning. It's actually a prison of ideals that keep racial minorities down. I don't mind saying that I like being white. It's great to be white. If I could choose any race to be it would be white.
And I'm entitled to like or dislike anything I please for myself. Other people might want something different for themselves. I don't claim to know what's best for other people. I just know I like being white. And I like other white people most of all. In fact, I live in the most affluent suburb of a Midwestern major metro area, and I haven't even seen a racial minority for years!
That makes me personally feel safe. It might not make other people feel safe. But I am permitted to feel safe based on any criteria I choose for myself. Is all this racist? No! It's my personal preference. I choose to live among those of my own kind and income bracket.
The graphs like the OP serve to do nothing but keep ethnic minorities from achieving economic success. That leaves more low-level workers at the bottom for people like me to exploit in the quest to build my fortune, secure my future, and live according to what my unique talents, education and virtue dictate.
I'm less scummy than most capitalists, because I'll be the first one to admit: charts like the OP originate in the minds of capitalists, and are given to activists simply to keep ethnic minorities down. The best way to keep people down is to give them a bunch of made up excuses why they can't succeed.

That is a bunch of moronic foolishness.

So basically that chart says if you don't do a liberal mind-think you are racist. It is just a "race card" game being played on a cheap pyramid background.
Example: Hiring discrimination is one thing listed. Thus if you believe in hiring the best person no matter their skin color and don't support affirmative action then you are a racist.

I think it's more like, if you disagree with any liberal ideology, you're "Racist, sexist, xenophobic, misogynist, stupid, useless, contemptible, hateful, backward, moronic, redneck, bible-thumper, deplorable, hillbilly, reject, enemy of the people, root of evil, uneducated, intellectually challenged, Neanderthal, mentally ill, worthless, knuckle-dragger, tobacco-juice dribbling, drunken wife beater, gun zealot, animal-killer, heavy-metal addict, skinhead, Nazi, fanatic, irrational, misfit, close-minded, blind to progress, violent, a hazard, you fill in the rest!
I'll only deal with a couple of the points brought up in the OP.
Racial Mascots:
I'll work up some indignation on this point when folks start protesting mascots like "The Fighting Irish", "Vikings", "Highlanders/Scots", et al.
Don't blame me I never owned slaves:This sticks in my craw:
as a Californian.
A Union State which sent its milita (the California Column into Arizona and New Mexico to push the Confederates back to El Paso, Texas.
as my family lived in north of the Ohio River back in the day.The geneology is weak much further than my great grandfather who was born in the 1860s. So, I can't say if any fought in the Union Army. But, none lived in the Confederacy or other slave state. My great grandmother and her folks were still in Yorkshire.
Well, the world is made up of electrons, neutrons, protons, ...and morons.
No, people who determine the motivations of others with stupid charts like the one in the OP.
And I have been #NeverTrump since the primaries.

Each Christian had to listen to their convictions, I couldn't vote for Trump, but just because I couldn't does not mean others were similarly convicted.
The question of lesser of two evils plays in how some vote. Just as it did in my mind. But comparing Hillary to Trump one had to also factor party policy on things like abortion, guns, homosexuality. The democratic party just loses out automatically. You factor in Hillary selling China secrets and basically spitting at Christian values. Well you could mark her off the list, burn and bury it. Mussolini could run against her and I would still not vote for the woman.
Trump on those issues depending on when you spoke to him. His fruits were bad from abortion to guns (called for bans and longer waiting periods). He was a typical NY moderate liberal to RINO most of his life. Suddenly he decided to portray himself as conservative and lots of people never questioned it. I did.
As a avid political nut, I have been watching news and politics for ages now. I knew when Trump pretended to know a Bible verse and made one out of thin air, to when he had prominent liberal pastors have their picture taken with him in front of his framed playboy display in his office. I listened to him in several rallies and took careful notes (especially his Mobile Alabama one). Talking about how great the Bible was while waving around his own book with his other hand.
Anyway... I could not vote for him. I was convicted. I couldn't believe more Christians were not convicted, but that was not for me to decide. I have to face God one day for my deeds. I don't know if God decided not to convince other Christians to see what I saw, but I know God has his ways that I do not understand. I am not God, never will be, never want to be.
Romans 3:8 helped guide my decision ... as well as an old saying...
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
The above reads to my heart that doing something like electing someone that is not Christian, just to oppose a known devil like Hillary is not good enough. All I had to judge Trump by was his fruits over time, and his own words that proclaimed that he had nothing to ask forgiveness for. That is not really judging, that is taking a man at his word and seeing his fruit of upholding it.
Yet to this day, it is unfair of me to just hate on Trump for no reason like some do. You Crabtownboy can read into that what you will, it is pretty clear what I think of those who act as you do. When Trump does something good, I can honestly say I am good to give praise where it is deserved. Example just the other day Trump dropped the Climate Change government bs offices. Fake science in my opinion working to just push a carbon tax one world government plan. Thank you President Trump.
Now I mentioned another old phrase that helped shape my decision not to vote for Trump.
“Of two evils, choose neither.” – Charles Spurgeon
Well in my opinion Trump had not shown me enough to earn a rating above the threshold required to vote for him. I thus choose not to vote for him. But let me be clear, there was never ever a realistic chance in Hell I would of voted for Hillary or Bernie Sanders. Any person that claims to be remotely religious that did has my contempt.
But do I hold those that weighed the matter in their heart and came out with a different outcome on Trump as evil? Well no, but it did make me wonder how I saw things differently than they did in the long run. Perhaps I pay more attention to politics than they did, perhaps the Lord directed them in a different direction.
All I can do now is what I am doing, praising when worthy, and when Trump does something dumb, calling him out on it as best I can do in my small circle. But I am not going to be a hypocrite and pull just the splinter out of Trumps eye and ignore the log in the democrat's eye as some do here. (Again read into that what you will, it was intentional).
Have I seen evidence of Trump playing the Nazi card? NO, not at all. Perhaps he has not singled out them due to not wanting to lose their vote, but that is politics and not being stupid. I was a little tiffed that Trump didn't right off the bat condemn the Antifi goons the other day when he condemned the Nazi group. Both are just same idiots that are not really that ideologically from from each other. They claim to be as far from the east is from the west, but when you really look into them more closely, they are pretty similar. Both want to limit rights/freedoms and both want to do it with force, deadly if need be.
