I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to try their luck with that answer. You don't believe it's racist to accept gifts from slaveowners? What about living under the plantation's roof? The slaveowner's wife isn't racist in your opinion?
Any other gotcha questions you think you have?
Again, it really seems like half of us want to have a civil, rational conversation and another half just want to belittle people, escalate the emotional situation, and laugh off the real issues. Can't help but observe that your emotional state is expressing itself in your attitude towards this conversation.
Nah, you come off trying to play the "I just want a discussion" card every time your disengenuinous attempts at making all white people racist fails.
You bringing up scenarios from the late 1800s just cements that fact. Your initial stance was white people, even if they treat everyone else equal, are racist simply by being alive, which is beyond absurd. Oh how the goalpost has been moved so far that even existing makes someone racist? You are the most flagrant example of a racist if I've ever seen one. You're the "it's just a prank bro" of racial discussion. Backpedal all you want.

Hypothetical question for you. Is it racist, in your opinion, to accept a gift that was produced by slave labor?
