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.

Using insulting terms like "racist" to describe a white person is offensive and dehumanizing.

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.

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.

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!

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.

It didnt matter to him that I didnt like the taste, all that mattered was I didn’t like the black ones

Aspirin is absolutely the most racist.

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.
