    At one time the term racist was well defined but now it extends to anything they want
    It now encompasses realign and minorities. The term raises are now became a weaponized version of the term we all knew. If you are uncomfortable we these things you could be called raises.

    Rape of women and men by a certain religion

    Honour killing

    De heading of men and women taken for sex slaves

    Stoning of women for infidelity

    Mutilation of women’s sexuality

    Blocking roads/walk ways so they can pray

    This list could go on but you get the idea.

    If that is racist, I am proud to now become raises

    I just thought it might be autocorrect or a typo he missed. :)

    Lol, did you notice though I was kind and said typo and not incorrect spelling?

    I make so many mistakes that I don't see until it's too late to edit.

    Well, I also guess that the smart phone had done a bad job with the auto correct function which assumed racist to be raises since they sound phonetically the same. This reminds me of my husband who was having a difficult time with the smart phone's auto correct such that he disabled it in no time at all because he had been posting in Facebook silly comments courtesy of the auto correct feature of his smart phone.

    When I typed it in it sounded right and the spell checker did not flag it so it went un noticed.
    Usually when I make a mistake the spell checker catches it the problem if it is another word and it does not

    @Martin Alonzo, don't worry about it. I find typos and auto-correct errors in my posts often. I don't go behind everyone correcting their spelling but, since it was in the title and mentioned, I thought I'd fix it.

    @Holly Saunders I expect just an oversight, Holly.
