As for her comments, yes they are combative, but can one be racist when they don't have the full force of a social system behind prejudicial thoughts? That's been her point in several posts, when she's not lambasting someone for callous remarks by using heated rhetoric in return.
Yes, since there no longer is such a system in America: it's been illegal since before I was born.

I don't find the tone blunt; I find it leading, patronizing and often wrong or inferring too much.

Agreed, in general. The tremendous bad faith and sophistry turn me off, though.

Mostly agreed with the article, but thought she undermined herself with her own racism.

I <3 you, but there are several very key things we are not going to agree on.

It makes me wonder what she thinks is happening in Zimbabwe, for example.
