It’s perfect for character assassination, as it’s a non-falsifiable statement

Meaning no one can sue for slander (or libel, whichever the print version is) because doing so would involve having to prove the statement as false

Which is why I don’t understand why any person of a protected class WOULDN’T default to the some kind of -ism as an explanation for anything negative that anyone ever says or does to them, rather than their individual personality. There is no negative consequence for being wrong, and it absolves the person of ever needing to do any self-reflection or personal growth

For example, a hypothetical, person throws their food and trash on the ground. Someome says “hey man you shouldn’t litter” person responds with “he said that because I’m [whatever] race and he’s racist”

Yep. It's collectivist thinking. There is zero personal responsibility in collectivist thinking. If you get called out for anything you can just bring up intersectional victimhood to get out of it and you're good to go. Once people internalize this it's nearly impossible to hold them accountable for anything.

By 2023 since everyone is racist now according to progressive and since it's been thrown around so much it has lost all meaning.

Lost meaning but not power, especially in corporate America. Being called racist is just about the most scary thing other than bankruptcy to any company, enough to make them fire any employee prior to any sort of due process to determine the facts

Which is why it’s so easy to bully companies using the threat of the word

I see what you're saying. It appears the power is slowly waning as well as the meaning changed. There is more push back for evidence now. Without Twitter brigading its become much harder.

Essentially accusers of racism are now held in suspicion because of overuse. Crying wolf only works for so long.

Equality racism vs equity racism.

Neologisization(sp? Too bad nerd.) is the permanent revolution.

we definitely need more racism equity

[Seducio]

I have found the easiest way to defeat Equity Racism is to bring up Content of Character. Don't even need to bring up MLK's colorblind framework. Just keep bringing up Content of Character. Most Americans are onboard with that version of racism even though academics disagree. It possibly going to have one of the biggest backfire effects that the University has ever tried.

Many of the millennials that went to college graduated with student debt.

Many of Gen Z that went to college graduate with student debt and and also framework of looking at race that is not too different from segregationist thinking.

Remind the Gen Z they were taught support segregationism. Bring up books that helped you see past the indoctrination you received at college like Lies My Teach Told me. Trust me it works. If they are offended that is good just let them know that their ideas for race are not the majority in America. Ask them if the believe in democracy.

Pin them down on why they changed their belief system so rapidly and remind them of the silliness of collectivist thinking for folks trying to get ahead in America.

I've found what I think is prejudice on both the left and the right, applied differently to different groups. I love how frequently we use racist for character assassination, though. The term racist used to be a really bad thing, now it's just a quick go-to to demonize the other side. Getting watered down pretty fast.

I call that guy racist because of the racist content of his posts.

Just as I call them fascists, as they are fascists. They are accurate terms for some people here. Talk to the liberals if you want to have a debate over appropriate language.

You're a full blown moron, or you're a full blown liar.

Are there differences in the races? Answer me that.
