It's always I'm not a racist, BUT ....

starting their comments with "i'm not a racist" is typically said by people too stupid not to post from their personal accounts that their family, employees, bosses, etc can all read and they don't want to tarnish their own image....don't worry all you "not racists"...you're just as easy to spot in real life as you are online! But keep on believing you're not racist just by stating so at the beginning of your racist tirade.

Every.Damn.Time.

its like those people that say "no offence but..." then end up saying something offensive. SAYING NO OFFENCE DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BE OFFENSIVE AND SAME GOES WITH RASICM

I think it's good actually. It means they acknowledge that they are making a racist comment, know that that is socially innapropriate and want to protect their reputation, while raising a "fair argument". In some cases(especially the ones that end up on BP) it's still complete BS of course, but it usually shows they are not *completely* ignorant.

What you are describing is the madness known as religious fanaticism.

I was thinking Russia til I saw your name 😁 Sorry, sorry! Proves how narrow my mind is, lol!!
