White racism is never having to say you're sorry.

Basically you (above writers and those expressing similar opinions) all are tarring me with the label white racist, and that deeply offends me. When I get offended, I lose any interest in helping out the people who heaped that abuse on me. It's a normal human reaction. Just keep denigrating the people who are not racists and who are in favor of your cause, and pretty soon you won't have any support at all.
A couple of days ago, if it had been eventually been demonstrated that Market BBQ is racist, I would have supported a boycott. Now, I have no interest.
Knee-jerk playing of the race card and unjustified "white guilt" stinks just as much as racism against blacks.
