A perfect example of what NOT to do. By backing away, knee-jerking in fear, Paul Ryan is now given a false credibility to the accusation and caused himself MORE problems. What do you do? You CHALLENGE the accusation. You make them justify their accusation with FACTS. If Paul Ryan had challenged Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) to justify and articulate her accusations we all would have been met with the sound of crickets. -------------------------------------------------- Well now, ...youve made the allegation, now all you have to do is justify it. We are all waiting in avid anticipation to hear you articulate with specificity just HOW Im racist or biased in accordance with any court accepted definition of racism or bias. In case you dont have the definition, here; Racism/Bias: The performance of an act based on a preconceived opinion, not based on objective reason or experience, that all members of a race or ethnicity possess a non-biometric characteristic or ability specific to that race or ethnicity, so as to unfairly differentiate a member, or all members, of that race or ethnicity as socially inferior or superior in comparison to the other basic races or ethnicities. Back in the olden days calling somebody racist was the liberal nuclear option. It was what they would use to instantly squash dissent, because most people are decent human beings who think actual racism is repulsive, so their opponents would recoil and backtrack, desperately trying to avoid giving perceived offense. The problem was that they overused it. It lost all its meaning. And people like me got sick of such nonsensical crap and challenge it as appropriate. Truth is not Racist, Facts are not Hate! Legitimate criticism is not racism. Just like a person is innocent in court until PROVEN guilty, society begins the question of racism/bias from a premise that a situation is not racist until PROVEN it is.
