I’m Not Racist But …

JH: “I’m not racist, but…” is analytically equivalent to “I’m racist, and…” There are never exceptions to this rule.

• I’m not racist, but I eat at Wendy’s.
• I’m not racist, but your mama is.
• I’m not racist, but that dude smells like cheese.
• I’m not racist, but Martin Heidegger was a Nazi.
• I’m not racist, but have you ever noticed how much white people love tests?
• I’m not racist, but terrorists die in missile strikes better than anybody.
• I’m not racist, but not enough people are talking about the Warren Court’s advocacy for dhimmitude.
• I’m not racist, but when the cafeteria serves fried chicken and collard greens for Black History Month, my mouth waters.
