When someone calls you racist?

When someone calls Obama racist?

I tried putting forth the dictionary definition: a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

But I don't think It's going to work.

I think the argument will be "lots of black people are prejudiced".

You may ask - why do I bother. I'm not sure.

Dylann Roof exists. The man who set fire to his roommate's head exists. Racist white people exist. And if they want to try to flip the script and call me racist because I mention race, then I need to just let it go.
