You're still incorrect. Take it a step further. If you were to conclude
with that line of thinking, so then you are racist. "You pay your taxes,
you obey a majority of our countries laws, therefore you support the
government". The only way this statement could be true is if you agreed to
it. I can guarantee that it isn't. You obey the laws for fear of the
consequences of the law, not your support of the government which makes the
initial statement false. Am I right so far? Anyway, when I said
"everything the government has it's hands in", I meant it in a general term,
I did not mean it literally. What I said was "it only proves, just like
anything else that racism is involved in everything the government has it's
hands in", meaning that racism exist in everything that the government does,
not that "Everything the government does is racist". Sorry that I have to
"...spell it out for you" but that is not what I said.
So you still have an arguement to validate.
