Race-Baiting

America, I am embarrassed that I have to point this out to you: the term "race-baiting" is racist. For those of you unclear about what the term means, it's used when one party wishes to accuse another party of saying something solely for the sake of inflaming members of a(nother) race, usually black people. The main reason it's racist is that the term only makes any sense as an accusation if one assumes that many black people are easily lead by the superior rhetoric of evil liberal white people who can use their fancy words and powers of persuasion to inflame ignorant black folks who cannot think for themselves. I'm assuming, for now, that when folks accuse me of "race-baiting," it's only because they haven't thought through the implications of what they're saying.
