Hey, you're racist, Paul Ryan!

  Of course, Black people can't be racist. We all know this. 
  Conversely, all White people CAN be racist, even if said individual dates or is married to a minority individual.
  Con-conversely, all poor people are Black.
  And if you cut bulging, unsustainable budgets, you are against civil rights and, thus, against Black people and Mexican people.
  Let's back up a minute.
  Now that it's been discovered that Paul Ryan had a Black girlfriend in college, we'll haul out the trusty "Just because you have Black/hispanic friends doesn't mean you're not a racist" meme.
  It's so convenient.
  It's just that it's not working that much anymore.
  See, according to the left wing, we must look past the personal relationships which reveal how people treat one another on a day to day basis and we must look at the RECORD of giving out free stuff entitlements and when THAT record's not good, well, what can you do. 
  Ms. Goff, the expert at The Root, which is Harvard's Henry Louis Gates's place:
For the record: No, I am not calling Ryan a racist. I am saying, however, that if you want to know where a politician's heart lies when it comes to a particular community, it may be best to look at that person's policies -- such as his or her record on civil rights --  rather than personal relationships.
  In justifying her contention that Paul Ryan just isn't, well, you know, non-racist, Ms. Goff links to her own critique of Paul Ryan's "record" on civil rights, according to her own valuation. 
  She lists 4 things to look at regarding whether Ryan is racist or not, including the following:
1) He thought Obama's election was cool   2) the NAACP (certainly not a BIASED organization!) gave him, like, a   negative 200 rating  3)  He celebrates the MLK holiday, which means SO much considering how far the NAACP has drifted from King's original message but Goff thinks Ryan's policies are OPPOSITE King's  4) and LAST, Ryan does not appear to be a fan of THE POOR, evidenced by "Ryan's hatchet heavy approach to budget cuts," including Head Start and the fact that Ryan is CATHOLIC, horror of horrors. 
  The latter is interesting, considering that even Time Magazine's liberal Joe Klein admits this:

It is now 45 years later. We spend more than $7 billion providing Head Start to nearly 1 million children each year. And finally there is indisputable evidence about the program's effectiveness, provided by the Department of Health and Human Services: Head Start simply does not work.
  All this is so convoluted. What it boils down to is a liberal's rationalization that, even though a person might be both reasonable and fair minded in his habits and life, liberals will always find a way to discredit him, even to the point of calling him/her a racist.
  What's sad is that these namecallers are themselves the racists, who assume the least of their own race.  
  For the record, not all poor people are Black.
  For the record, just because you encourage cutting a program that has an unsuccessful track record doesn't mean you're a racist.
  For the record, you shouldn't try to justify your own rationale for your racist opinions by using other liberal racist opinions.
  For the record, race relations have been set back by liberals, not conservatives.
