OK then.

It stands to reason that by italicizing and bolding 'rigger', you wanted special attention drawn to it. After all, calling someone a racist or calling someone a
racist have the same impact. Given that you've claimed your definition does not comport with reality, why then would you draw attention to it without providing that context?
Simple. Most racists are cowards who prefer to seem like they're not and will argue to they're or if breath that they're not, because they know they're lack intestinal fortitude enough to stand for what they believe. They know they're on the ignorant and illogical side, but if that's what they grew up with, it's a place of comfort. If there's anything humans are afraid of, it's change. That seems like an awful specific conclusion to draw, so how could I have gotten here?

I was like you once. I held all kinds of backwards beliefs about folks of other races. I'm still checking myself for prejudicial thoughts. I behaved the same way as you. Cowardly statements that weren't overly racist, but easily understood. I have no doubt some of that stupid shit is present in my post history here. If you want to find it and call me on it, knock yourself out. I'll own it.
With that said, your defensive behavior has told me everything I needed to know without the context of my evolution. A person who
wasn't trying to covertly call someone a nigger would apologize for the misunderstanding and seek to clarify.
So like I said, keep telling me I'm imagining things.
