1. “Baa, Baa Black Sheep” is racist. The nursery rhyme, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is under attack. Some schools and family centers in Scotland, England, and Australia have eliminated the word “black” as racist, and now refer to “rainbow sheep,” “happy sheep,” or “green sheep,” though these new adjectives make no sense at all. Stuart Chamberlain of the Oxford Sure Start Center in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, said, “Basically we have taken the equal-opportunity approach to everything we do.” A local dissenter, however, called it “Stalinist.”
2. M.A.s may be racist, postmasters too. Stephen Davis, master of Pierson College at Yale, says the word “master” in his title is severely upsetting some students and driving them off campus. He wants Pierson and Yale’s eleven other residential colleges to have “heads” rather than “masters.”
3. Liking white meat is racist. Writer Ron Rosenbaum said in Slate that racism accounts for the popularity of white-meat turkey over more flavorful dark meat. “White meat turkey has no taste,” he explained. “Despite its superior taste, dark meat has dark undertones for some. Dark meat seems to summon up ancient fears of contamination and miscegenation as opposed to the supposed superior purity of white meat.”
4. Hoop skirts are racist. After student affairs administrators met with fraternity and sorority leaders, the University of Georgia banned hoop skirts as evocations of the ante bellum South. Writing in the Washington Post, Elizabeth Boyd opined that this decision should go national: While donning a hoop skirt may not constitute a hate crime . . . make no mistake. The Southern belle performances routinely staged on campuses across the South constitute choreography of exclusion . . . young white women serve as signs of nostalgia for a bygone, segregated South and all its attendant privileges.
5. Lunch bags look racist. Elliot Bronstein of the Seattle Office for Civil Rights sent a memo to the public-affairs office banning the term “brown bag” as in brown-bag lunches.
6. Complimenting America as open and fair is racially hurtful. “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” is officially listed as a micro-aggression that the University of California wants eliminated from its classrooms. Also banned are “America is the land of opportunity,” and “America is a melting pot,” because some students may regard those ideas as controversial.
7. Libertarians are racist. In an interview, testy HBO writer-producer David Simon (The Wire, Treme) severely criticized libertarians and suggested that libertarian rhetoric about “freedom” and “liberty” is just code for racism. More P.C. Culture Feds Stop Calling ‘Midget Raisins’ ‘Midget Raisins’ Because ‘Midget’ Is Offensive No Chicken for You! ‘My Truth,’ They Say
8. Climate change advances racism. Best-selling Canadian author Naomi Klein told the Guardian, “You see that in Australia where the treatment of migrants is a profound moral crisis. It’s clear that as sea levels rise this mean streak and open racism is going to become more extreme.”
9. Banning sagging pants is racist. NRO’s Katherine Timpf reported that Henderson State University in Arkansas had banned sagging pants, but the sign announcing the ban came down in two days after students protested. “Those students wanting the sign taken down because they say sagging pants are culturally associated with African Americans,” said student Daisha Haggans.
10. If too many white males are in your class, that’s racist. The Harvard “Voices of Diversity” project interviewed 200 students at four U.S. colleges and found that racist and sexist “micro-aggressions” — subtle but hurtful digs — are a serious problem. Examples: finding that most of the people in your class are white males, other students rolling their eyes when you speak, and “a slight raising of the eyebrows or eyes following you in the dining hall.”
No mention of PICNICS...?
Racist.
these people all have Brown Bags on their Heads!!!
Number 11: Any discussion which has the word racist in it is full of racism. This is due to the idea that by mentioning racist one is promoting the view of racism, similar to saying a brand name in an advertisement in order to promote that brand.
In elementary school, we sang “Pick A Bale of Cotton”. Oh boy.
People who use derogatory names like "racist" should be sued at a minimum and in many cases they should lose their job or even wind up in jail.
Ive heard a few times now that the words "liberty" or "freedom" are racist hate speech words.
I’ve been told that Thanksgiving is a racist holiday and that Independence Day is racist.
AH - HA! They left out angel food cake, which is white as opposed to devil’s food cake, which is black!
I am RACIST because I EXIST.
Good f*ckem.
Pagans had a system of morality based on concentric rings. The strong male had the highest moral status and weight. The woman of the tribe less, their children even lower. Slaves had lower value and no moral weight but were higher than the uncouth foreigners. This is reflected in so many tribes having the word for “people” as their ethnicity only, everyone else being something less.
Christianity said everyone had souls of equal value before God, children had intrinsic value even before they had economic value, even your “tools without a voice” slaves had souls and status before God.
Liberals are not seeking to have an equal society for everyone, regardless of skin color. Instead, they think society had a system where white men on top, white women below that, black and brown even lower. (While they ignore that it was Democratic party members who enforced Jim Crow laws).
Their idea of justice and fairness is to invert the pyramid. White men must now be at the bottom, white women slightly higher, the highest rungs for blacks and hispanics. Asians form a conundrum, since they have high academic and professional achievement, so their status depends on how recently they immigrated and whether the fight is against whites or blacks. In general, they rate higher than whites but lower than darker skinned people in the new moral system.
So we have a moral structure based on race and gender that inverts the historical one the liberals think we had, reflecting pagan values.
The ironies are:
* whites are allowing this to happen, despite having a demographic majority; it is akin to the dhimmis (non-Muslims) in Shariah law becoming cheerleaders for the system, praising their second class status. Except right now, we’re still in the process of being guilt tripped into it.
* the effort to ignores the fact that it does virtually nothing to help poor blacks (who lack connections to benefit) and devastates poor whites (who are as numerous as all blacks) - they think inverting the racial / moral structure fixes problems actually caused by multi-generational poverty, but it only helps the minorities who already reached middle and upper class
* few seem to appreciate that the people being punished are the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who participated in Jim Crow laws and several generations removed from slavery - in short, penalizing generations latter the supposed guilty
People who worry about this kind of thing are race-obsessed.
And not coincidentally, they are all Democrats. The DNC is the party of the race-obsessed. It always has been, historically, from the very beginning, and right up unto the modern era it remains the party of the race obsessed.
If you are obsessed by race, that is your party, you are in the right place. If you don’t give two hoots about race, if you care about a man’s character, philosophy, experience, religion more than the accident of his genetic code, there is no chance you are a Democrat. You are what we in America call a conservative.
Complimenting a black regarding an expansive vocabulary is racist.
Complimenting an Asian math whiz is racist.
Complimenting blacks on athleticism is racist.
KFC is racist.
HIStory is sexist — HERstory.

They're white. They work. To get to them, you have to pick cotton.
This is why Trump is winning. The Left overplayed their hand to the point that people just couldn’t take any more of this nonsense.
