Perhaps less flagrant yet equally divisive are the media outlets who only too willingly "racialize" stories for increased ratings or readership. ❋ Gay Person Of Color (2008)
| Reply | Permalink sigh. black people have voted for white people since we've been allowed to vote. and hillary had black folks 'support until they fully started to check obama out, assessed her negatives and heard bill's attempt to "racialize" the race in south carolina. also, there's nothing wrong with voting FOR someone, as opposed to voting AGAINST someone, a la the white racists who say outright that they're not voting for a black man. and surely you're not defending that, are you? hmmm, i bet more black folks have voted for white candidates than vice versa. care to prove me wrong? ❋ Unknown (2009)
These moves and other recent government proposals could further racialize our housing and credit markets by effectively disqualifying many lower-income borrowers, including a large share of borrowers of color. ❋ Dedrick Muhammad (2011)
I am a black person and I think that is truly unfair to racialize that incident. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I think these issues are too important to racialize them, and project this imagined racism on to health care or any other political issue. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In his interview with Fox News Sunday, which is airing right now, Obama said flatly that he didn't think there's been a deliberate effort by the Clintons to racialize the campaign. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Let me be as clear as possible here: Yes, the Clintons did racialize the campaign in some ways. ❋ Unknown (2009)
That's cherry-picking in my book when it was quite clear that the Clinton campaign chose to racialize the contest to the detriment of this country as soon as they realized they had a real race on their hands. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Black, white and brown youths all across the nation are dying because of guns, so don't racialize the issue. ❋ Unknown (2009)
My babies are young and still yet I have noticed the ways in which the world has already begun to racialize them. ❋ Renee (2009)
What a great guy, causing a major slur on a past president who did so much for black people and now -- once the damage is done -- "generously" appointing himself as Bill Clinton's judge and benevolently saying that he doesn't "think" that Clinton was "deliberately" trying to racialize the campaign. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But in order to go be involved with killing large [numbers] of other human beings, you have to dehumanize the enemy, and the easiest way to dehumanize them is to racialize them. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Well, how very generous of Obama to say that the Clinton's haven't made any "deliberate effort" to racialize the campaign, considering that Obama was the one who played the race card by jumping on the "blame Hillary for belittling Martin Luther King" bandwagon at the beginning of the campaign. ❋ Unknown (2009)
First, He tried to racialize Barack, while holding onto the African American vote. ❋ Unknown (2008)
We've got a long and growing list of grievances: Various Clinton surrogates 'efforts to racialize the campaign, her dissembling about the Social Security earnings cap, her 11th hour pandering faux populist bogus gas tax thing, the negative overall tenor of her campaign since Super Tuesday, her morally and diplomatically awful comments about our ability to "totally obliterate" Iran, some rather sleazy emails sent by various Clinton operatives. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Partly as a function of being a person of color, I am often compelled to racialize situations, and I wonder if Obama is sometimes being scrutinized, to a certain degree, because of his racial identity. ❋ Gay Person Of Color (2008)

Doug has a good friend that is from Morocco, he also likes [Moroccan] food. Doug lives in Dublin, Ireland though and doesn’t want his government to mass import 8 million Moroccans to his city. Doug has no hate for individual Moroccans so he is not racist. Doug believes in [racialism] though, he does not want to live in a Moroccan city he wants to live in an Irish city.
Doug knows not to bring up his [racialist] ideas when his Moroccan friend has him over for lunch. Bringing up racialist ideas wouldn't make Doug a racist, but it would make him an asshole. ❋ Dietdrpepper (2016)

[Shelley]: "Wow, of course you would assume he's black you racist, how would you know if you couldn't see...?"
Jonathan: "What? I saw him, he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, being black was just part of the description... more importantly my TV is gone."

College Instructor: "And of course, in the case of Australians purchasing aboriginal art, racism is an integral part of the discussion. After all, what does it mean for a [white Australian] to purchase a black [aborigine's] artwork, a part of their cultural heritage. It's like saying that a white man could buy a black, which I think has implications reminiscent of slavery."
Student: "Wait, not all Australians are white or european. They do not come from an American culture or even a culture that involved slavery at any time during their history as their own country. What if a black [aborigine] -still an Australian- purchased art from another aborigine, would that still be a symbol of ownership? Furthermore, [aborigines] aren't even from Africa, they migrated to Australia through Indonesia. You're assuming that because their skin color is black that they're from Africa, thus allowing you to draw a connection between . That's possibly the most idiotic and racist thing that I've heard today."
- In this case, the college instructor is both racist and [racialist]. ❋ PUBLISHME (2013)

[Racialism] has two purposes:
__In the elite class:
A good [physician] needs to be [racialist] at times to see which patient receives which prescription.
__In the lower and middle classes:masses
An average low and middle class person is racialist just because it's fun to heat the social struggle. ❋ Andersmusician (2010)
