On a scale of 1 to 10, how racist are you? 1 being saintly like Mister Rogers, 5 being half-racist like our President, 10 being full-blown psychopath racist like Rev. Al Sharpton.

This is a poorly framed question for a Likert Scale. The categories are not mutually exclusive and they show an obvious bias. With 10 being saintly, perhaps a better choice of a person who showed no deference/preference at all to one group or another might be Jesus Christ. With 1 being a total bigot and racist, I'd nominate George Lincoln Rockwell, the former head of the American Nazi party. The middle ground of 5 might well be President Obama, but I'm not quite convinced of that yet.

Probably around a five, lol. I use the n-word alot but I never use it to really offend/hurt people. It's more like a 'Hello thar, my negro' sort of thing.
