The rules of opposites applies to mass media these days.
It was just a matter of time before dictionary words would mean the exact opposite of what the dictionary says.
Emerson link....
Thanks. That should help those who don’t have a shelf of his books, biographies and quotation books.
By that definition “affirmative action” is racist.
It is anti-white and anti-Asian.
The new definition includes a few options, including “or discrimination.”
Discrimination itself, can simply mean distinguishing actual differences between things.
That can now fall into the highest category of thought crime - racism. Subject to immediate dismissal without trial or appeal, loss of freedom of speech or thought, and being expunged from public life.
Anyone who points out facts contrary to the Leftist narrative, would be discriminating true from false, and therefor - a racist (if it suits the Leftist narrative/Party Line).
That is how the Left uses the word (to cut off debate, and nullify contrary facts), but now Webster’s Dictionary i on board with it.
This is proof liberals have institutional power. The DICTIONARY rewrites itself overnight based on one SJW’s demand.
These are the people Aldous Huxley and George Orwell warned us about.
Unfortunately, the rioting constituents will stupidly continue voting democrat, if not too illiterate to vote.
Thanks for that.
This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox [politically incorrect] meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.
From my white experiences:
1. In the late 80s, I kept applying for state jobs for the National Guard—full time in the tank upkeep field. Highly qualified from 6 yrs Army. For an entire year, my multiple applications got file 13’d. Finally, one was landed. While swearing in, the Colonel wanted me to change race from white of European descent, to Hispanic. I refused.
Upon reporting to work, I was informed that for the next several years, they were mandated to only hire minorities. My position was abolished not soon after. Reentered the Army for another 6.
2. Another civilian job held (after the second military stint) I worked for 2 AAs, my immediate foreman and the manager. Both completely incompetent affirmative action promotions. Long story short, ended up being blacklisted in a large Corp and having to retire early medically. Nary a single disciplinary action after 18 yrs there. The attempts to get something on me never let up.
Now let’s talk about systemic racism.
How about retributions?
I know I am not the only one who has endured reverse treatment in this supposed racist society.
And they want their sales to go up.
Systemic racism,yes,Government handouts to the weak among us
Pamwe Chete !
Exactly! LOL!
We’re seeing history repeat here.
racism - disagreeing with a liberal.
Better yet, if racism definitions 2a or 2b are invoked, demand that they offer concrete proof of it. And not just some random collection of alleged micro aggressions here and there but tangible evidence of real premeditated systematic implementation. The people currently chortling over this new revised definition of racism will soon come to hate it because using it requires the production of evidence.
Some will point to militarization of the police. But rerunning the process would produce quite a bit of action and reaction dynamics that have been going on since the Civil Rights era. I recall a time when the typical officer was not wearing Kevlar body armor and the duty weapon was a 6-shot .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver.
I have no doubt that there is racism behind the actions and words of a small minority of officers. Of course there is! You’ve got human beings involved and if you eat often enough at the criminal behavior buffet, you shouldn’t be surprised that some of the diners develop pretty severe heartburn.
My personal opinion is that a lot of the perceived and actual police hostility comes from this steady diet of negative interactions. In other words, officers eventually become fed up when served up yet another fresh, hot serving of the SOS. So far, not a single word is being said about citizen responsibility to act in ways that lower tension and reduce the potential for violence.
It’s a two way street.
And no, it isn’t a failure of “professionalism” to react to and refuse to put up with abusive citizen behavior no matter how justified they feel.
And if Joe ever comes to a debate, and brings up 2a or 2b, Trump should ask if those meanings should be appied to China or Japan instead of our system.
