OK. As resident Practicing Political Scientist, I'd like to do something out of character and start a thread. A Vanity, no less. Hopefully JimRob and the admins will understand and take my years on FR and my "cranky old bastard" status into consideration and grant me their grace.
Here's something that I've been thinking about recently. What with the smoldering race war evolving around us, this is worthy of discussion. Here goes.
Everybody's heard the tired old Marxist definition of racism. You know, the one that says all white people are "racist", and black people can NOT be racist. Kind of a self-serving definition, and nothing close to what any dictionary says about it, but well, that's what the Mau Maus of BLM and the New Black Panthers say.
Let's stop arguing semantics, they are better at it than we are. Let's concede their right to define "racism" any way they like, and embrace it. If all white people are "racist" by accident of birth, then I guess it's no big deal, and we should stop worrying about what they call us.
But here's my question for the forum. If blacks can't be called racist, what shall we call them when they betray their "kill whitey" biases? Let's talk about this. We should be able to coin an appropriate term that addresses the issue without using Marx's terminology.
We should talk about it, come up with the word or words and start using it, make it go viral. But most of all DEFINE IT and OWN IT.
Hypocritical bigots.
Blacks can be and often are racist.
I have a neighbor whose wife HATES all white devils like me.
