Stating a group of people has entitlement issues isn't Racist. Racism is denying people the ability to do something based on their race. I am not denying anyone access to anything. I am simply stating that I see an issue with how allowing people to continually play the race card emboldens them to believe there are no consequences to their actions.
You're right, it was less racism than bigotry. Stating that a whole race of people has an entitlement issue is bigoted.
Why not just say "blacks", anyway? Everone knows what we're talking about here, but if you say "blacks have an entitlement issue", it's harder to pretend that you're not a bigot.
To say that "black people" have an entitlement problem, and not "all people", is to imply that this is a flaw that non-blacks do not share, or at least to a much lesser degree.
And buddy, that is implying the superiority of one race over another. Which is racist.
So you're saying that you implied something from the parent comment and that by further implying from your first implication led you to believe the OP was racist?
Do you also find it racist when prominent black people criticize what they term "entitlement" problems amongst blacks? (Not that the OP specifically mentioned "black people" but I want to follow your line of reasoning.)

Racism is stating a superiority of one race over another. The last sentence was controversial, at worst an overgeneralization, but not racist.
Can we please stop this politically correct nonsense of calling any controversial comment involving race racist?
