Is there any implication that liberals are not or cannot be racist? My view is that racist is a trait that is independent of liberal or conservative, rich or poor, educated or not, black or white, "religious" or not. When I was young, the message seemed to be that southerners were racist - simply by location and place of birth. When I entered the work force and traveled over our great country, I saw first hand that the North was certainly no different than the South in regards to racist talk and attitudes and action.
I guess I need to look at the definitions of liberal and racism. But never thought they were mutually exclusive.
