The sorry mess Senator Lott is in reveals what was there for all to see. Blacks and their liberal/leftist masters will label anyone they disagree with a racist. There is no way to get out of the charge if you are the least bit conservative. In fact, by that standard most Americans are racist but afraid to admit it.
The solution (for Lott and for everyone else) is to admit: ââ¬ÅYes, I am racist. I object to Black demands. I reject Black blame for everyone but themselves for their miserable lives.This alone can save conservatives from blackmail.
Otherwise all will be lost.
It is too late for Senator Lott, but not for the rest of us. Tell Blacks and liberals "Yes, of course I am a racist. What's your problem with that? Is free thought and expression illegal nowadays?". If you cannot live with that go to Liberia, The negro republic, where whites are not allowed, or anywhere else in Africa where you can be yourselves.
America wake up! Throw off the mantle of self-pity and guilt. Call yourself a racist and be proud of it.

Ed Toner,
Great Post!!
The word "Racist" was made up by Leon Trotsky. Basicly it was his word for White Christians.

One of the first laws passed by the USSR was the death penalty for antiSemitism.

Yes Current 93, it's interesting how a "forgery" could garner the death penalty.

I believe he originally used it to demonise his orthodox christian White Russian enemies (the first reference I think was in some early 20th century book I can't remember the details of).

Is the OED good enough for you? I confirmed the coinage in the OED in the local uni.
I think it was 1931, in a translation of Trotsky from French to English.

Yeah, I'd say that's authoritative enough!

Maximillian, I found the OED's "racism"/"racist" entry at Arthur Hu's website:
