‘Racist’ has long since lost its meaning. It now is a blanket statement meaning someone didn’t put blacks/browns in a favorable light.

Maybe its meaning, but not its power.

And the Left will continue using it, because it works every time it's played.

They're telling us what and what is not racist because they've been pandered to for so long, now close to completely destroying freedom of speech.

Amazing how many people are sick of it, especially now that the black racist's idea of respect is letting them burn cities down.

I think the only real problem here is anyone paying attention, reacting or responding, to agitators. And yes, they are just agitators, not “activists”, which they always pretend to be.

Agitators want to start fights between others, to oppress and bully people and persecute others by proxy, and to rally the mob to do the same, from a distance. They are “attention whores” and vandals. But most of all, they are cowards.

So what should be done in a case like this? It is to quickly approach those targeted by the agitator to ask them to *not* respond or react, or to even pay attention to the agitator(s). To put the agitators in their place by ignoring them. And to reach out to those who the agitators hate, to assure them they should not be moved by a lone voice of hate and anger, even if “journalists” embrace them, wanting free copy.

You are right. Boy, are you right.

Very frustrating.

Bird seed for the 1% of Cardinal fans who aren’t white!

Forget the sign, the mascot is racist. Blackface, big white eyes, and huge lips.

“Crypto-racist” must be the NEW word.

I like that better than microagression.

It’s racist because, of course, there are no black cops.

And I think it’s black too. So it’s an uncle Tom bird too!

Nope. Cardinals are red. They just do all their work in black-face.

“Racist”? Seriously? To quote Inago Montoya, “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”

I’ve been called “racist” when I refer to the right to keep and bear arms as a civil right. “Civil rights,” you see, are only for black people.

Or so I’ve been told.

By idiots.

“Racist” has been so overused as a street epithet it has nearly lost all semantic value.

English. GET SOME. USE IT!

The mascot is a cardinal. That’s a bird of color. It can’t be racist.

So police is a race now? The left is so full of mindless drones.
