A tactical accusation designed to attack another person by claiming their actions are racist or racially motivated. The attack can be offensive, defensive or purely diversional.
Offensive: Deshon wants a promotion and raise this year and he's ready to whack his white manager with a racism stick if he doesn't get it.
Defensive: Rushanda got busted stealing a computer from her work after several had already dissapeared. She would have lost her job if she hadn't beaten her boss with a racism stick by claiming that she was just "borrowing" it and the only reason he thought she was stealing it was because she's black - that a white person could have "borrowed" it without getting any flak.
Diversional: Kanye was asked by a reporter why he thought Bush didn't care about black people when the New Orleans evacuation plan clearly specified the city and its black mayor were responsible for the evacuation and first response. Fortunately, the reporter was white and Kanye had his racism stick ready. Whack! "You think if this was Provo, Utah that old GW wouldn't be down here personally in a heart-beat with the entire American Army?" Whack! "What kind of fool do you take us for?" Whack! "Calling these poor victims 'looters' for taking jewelry when you know damn well that they've lost everything?" Whack! Whack! Reporter (dazed): "Um, please, let's just talk about your upcoming record now..."

A strategy used to conceal ignorance in a debate when unable to answer a question by deferring to a Google search as "proof" that a good answer exists.
Google Punting is an intellectually lazy way out of an argument. In essence, it is an admission of defeat by saying "I don't know, and I'm unable to put together an intelligent argument, but someone else probably could. Plus, this is great because I'm forcing you to do all the work, while implying that you're the lazy one (not me) because you couldn't look it up yourself. And, if you're stupid enough to do it, it's even better because if you find something that disproves my point I can counter with 'hey, I didn't say that', or 'you're just cherry-picking' *and* send you back searching for the 'real' answer".

White people who deign to speak for non-whites. Also, men who deign to speak for women.
The coach almost lost his job after naively thinking he was offering a compliment by saying that he thought black football players ran really fast. Oddly, his comments weren't denounced by blacks but by liberal whites, showing that despite the fact they believe blacks don't get enough respect in the modern world, they also believe that blacks aren't competent enough to voice their own opinions on such important issues and so must do it for them.

Comparing someone or something to Hitler during a political debate in an obvious attempt at villification of the opposing argument, position or person. It is essentially a way of the Hitlerizer declaring they wish to cease intelligent discussion and begin name-calling.
Since nobody over the age of 5 takes you seriously when you call someone else a "poopy head", and Hitler is widely accepted as the embodiment of pure evil, adults can sometimes be found Hitlerizing their opponent's argument because, deep down, they feel their opponent is a poopy head and need some other way of expressing that to avoid being laughed at.
In the Healthcare debate, for example, both supporters and opponents have begun Hitlerizing the other side.

Apparently in the black community, this is a racist term because it has the word "black" in it without any words of praise surrounding it. Because of its political incorrectness, please note that it has now been renamed an African American Quantum Singularity.
John Wiley Price, the Mayor of Dallas and a black judge recently were offended and demanded an apology (no, I'm not making this up) for a white councilman referring to the traffic office as a "black hole" where paperwork is sent and never seen again. "How would you like it if I called it a 'white hole'?" Mr. Wiley-Price immediately retorted. Next on the list: Blackjack, Blackberry and Blackbird.

Noun.
1) Strict definition: An irrational bias towards members of a racial background. The bias can be positive (e.g. one race can prefer the company of its own race or even another) or it can be negative (e.g. one race can hate another). To qualify as racism, the bias must be irrational. That is, it cannot have a factual basis for preference.
2) Commonly intended definition(in America): A bias that white people have against blacks.
3) Politically motivated definition: A justifiable reason to redistribute resources or opportunities between groups on the basis of race alone.
1) One is not a racist for pointing out that blacks receive lower scores on their ACTs, SATs, GREs, LSATs and other standardized tests of academic achievement.
2) One is a racist for pointing out #1 *IF* there is no reason for pointing it out other than to make black people feel inferior.
3) Racism is the reason that a 20 on the ACT should actually be considered a 25 if the test taker was black.

A slang term for the degree of risk white employers take when hiring black employees. It was coined in honor of a black female contestant on a reality show called "The Apprentice" who had very little value as an employee and an infamous ability to irritate all those around her. She wore her race and gender on her sleeve, using them to bait or bash other contestants on the show. When "fired" from the show, she immediately accused the cast members of calling her a "nigger" and of racial antagonism during the show. She received a lot of media attention, as those who play the race card usually do, and despite her lack of credibility (e.g. she *forgot* who it was that called her a "nigger", whether or not anyone else was around, when it happened, and why the cameras didn't catch it), she was invited back to the show. Thus demonstrating that there is a penalty for those called a racist, but not for those who call others a racist and are proven to be liars.
Companies fear hiring people like Omorosa. People who sell themselves very strongly, display up-front confidence and have a suitable resume, yet in the end offer no value to the company as an employee, create an environment of conflict and hatred among other employees, and is a walking time bomb waiting to scream "racism" or "sexism" the moment something doesn't go their way (e.g. denied a raise, promotion, or is fired).
The Omorosa factor is a value that ranges from zero (no risk) to one (the employee is actually Omorosa herself). It is used to multiply another value called the O-cost, which is typically a fixed percentage of the company's value. This is amount that will normally be sued for. Multiplying the two gives a company an idea of how much risk they are taking on by hiring the employee.
Subordinate: "Sir, management wants to increase diversity in our department. Perhaps we should give extra weight to minority applicants."
Manager: "Agreed. We can kill two birds with one stone by hiring a black woman, that way we get gender and race at the same time. Do we have any that are handicapped or veterans as well? That would be the best!"
Subordinate: "No, sir, just this one black woman is on the list: Jawanda. She seems fairly qualified."
Manager: "Invite her in."
Jawanda: "I am a strong, black woman from the Bronx and I will kick ass in this white male-dominated field."
Manager: "Sorry, your Omorosa factor is too high. Next..."
