It’s a slow news week.  Just some trumped up fallout about Jeneane Garafalo calling those crazy protesting teabaggers racist.  Whatever.  So instead I bring you a good measure on what the common Internet man (and sometimes woman) thinks of the definition of racism and what it means in our society.  Ok, it’s not a good measure at all.  It’s full of hate and ignorance.  But it sure is fun to laugh at.

Behold the Wikipedia Talk section for “racism”.  A lot of it is people trying to sound way too smart.  They’re harmless yet still kind of funny to read, but the good/terrible part starts here.  This nice little rant even sneaks in a couple of conspiracy theories about the dreaded Teacher’s Union.

At the same time Black kids are being taught Grievance Entitlement thinking in the schools. That mode teaches kids White people are to blame for the troubles of Black people. This is not supported by the facts, but has been put into the curriculum by the Teachers’ Union.

Yikes.  But read on.  The ignorance just became stifling.  Now I love Wikipedia, but it helps to be reminded every once in a while that these are some of the people editing these articles.  It’s surprising that they even bothered to bring it to the attention of the other users instead of just defacing the article itself.  Oh wait, that’s right.  They’re idiots.
