If you are writing a sentence that begins, “I’m not a racist…” and the next part of that sentence starts with “but,” do not write that sentence.

Reminds me that I had wanted to do a comment-punch-out plugin – kick you out of commenting if you are typing something that is on a blacklist. “I’m not racist, but…” *POW* NO COMMENT FOR YOU.

I would start a new self-hosted blog just to use that plugin.

It would almost be refreshing to hear someone say “I’m a racist, but I am in the process of evolving.” Seems a little more honest. And maybe I wouldn’t want to see them spontaneously combust.
