64. Not a racist argument,
but rather one which ignores racism--a common trait among closet racists, to be sure, but slightly different. Racism is the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. Bill did not suggest that, but rather took as an assumption that such lines of thoughts did not exist and therefore did not hold back African-Americans. That is extremely ignorant, but, like I said, wasn't the criticism the OP made.

But yes, I agree, the argument is ridiculous, and does point to a racist character in our beloved Bildo.
