WOW!

Food for thought for sure. Thank you.


Still, you can support your own country without hating others.

The same can be said in matters of race too.

To extrapolate from your point of view, any kind of preferences at all could be coined as racism-- and that's just not reality.

Re: Racists
The congressmen and lobbyists attempting in DC to keep the job-producing Defense contracts in the state of Alabama over the other 49 states in our country-- are they guilty of "state-ism"?

Agreed on your last point.

Question then...

Can a person of any race support a business run/owned/operated etc by people of their own race without hating others?

They are probably practicing state-ism.

One would only be "guilty" of it if their actions are wrong.

Can a white person marry another white person without hating black people?

Can I choose to buy a made in America Cannondale without hating the Mexican or Chinese who manufacture the Trek?


Can I choose to go to an Italian Restaurant that is owned and operated by Italians without hating the CEO of Darden?

Are their actions wrong?

What's wrong with working hard to bring more jobs to your state?

If the people of Alabama elected them, they need to do what they can to support the people they represent.

A white person that "prefers" his own kind is usually labeled a racist

What a white person that prefers to "marry his own kind" or "to support the white race"?
