You hit back with the facts.

Far more whites are killed by police than blacks.

Plus, singling out “blacks” alone hurts the cause of reigning in the “very real problem” of police all to quickly leaping to deadly force in various situations regardless of the race of the citizen. Their are countless stories of police kicking in doors and shooting innocent homeowners because they were at the wrong house, shooting kids who answer the door holding video game remotes, ect Most of which were white.

I just posted this on a different thread:
Moroccans are not a race, and people who criticize Moroccans are not racists."

So what if they were?

Race is a somewhat arbitrary characteristic assigned to breeding populations. There is no reason why such populations could not develop characteristics considered undesirable by some or all of the other breeding populations.

One needs to commit these responses to memory.

Anytime there’s a news article about BLM or other phony, paid protest group, submit a comment to the online newspaper article labeling it as “Fake News.”

Racism is a specific belief that races can be ranked according to genetically inherited characteristics. For example, when a white supremacist takes a racist view of blacks he is really saying that they are genetically inferior. This genetic inferiority allegedly manifests itself in lower intelligence, which, in turn, translates into other undesirable characteristics such as sloth and a propensity toward crime.

To be a racist, does one only have to have the belief, or does one have to act in accordance with said belief?

No one has ever called me racist to my face, though it has happened online. Typically my response is some form of smirk and a thank-you. Because without fail, every time I have been called racist it is of course false, and has been completely irrelevant to the discussion/debate at hand. So I thank them for admitting defeat - because obviously they have no real counter to my statements, and chastise them on an awkward and obvious ad-hominem attack.

Everyone is a racist except the Lord.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Seriously though, I disagree with the author. Don't acknowledge their words at all; going on the defensive and trying to prove that your are not what they claim is their point- they have won then. Simply ignore their accusations, and go on calmly with making your point and treat them as your intellectual inferiors, or as though you are talking to a small child.

This article is good except for one thing: Libs and dims and BLM’ers do not apply logic and reason to much of anything. It is all about feelings. The libs and dims in the class would be lost after the first question. Expecting them to follow the dots is expecting to much.

Or you could read "SJW's Always Lie", for more detailed tactics and strategy. . .

Are there races of dogs? There are quite a few different looking and acting breeds. What are the charzeteristics of a breed vs that of a race?

I have to wonder if this ever really works. Leftists DO NOT accept reality, nor the real definition of words.

They certainly don’t accept the definition of “racism” that we do.

My grandmother was a Jehovah’s Witness. We constantly discussed the Bible. The thing is, we just wern’t talking the same language. Even “Son of God” meant different things to her and me.

So it is with liberlas

since all whites are racist no matter what, just embrace it. No win for you trying to get out of it. Crying racism is used to put YOU on the defensive in an argument or conversation.

He's forgetting that in Left Wing Academia (but I repeat myself) the definition of racist is "evolving" to something far less straight-forward than the "belief in genetic superiority" definition. It now seems to mean something like "complicity in capitalism."

Here is another possibility. Why do you say that “ All lives matter” is a racist statement? Do you not believe that all lives are of equal value? If so, which lives are more equal than others,and under what criteria may the less equal lives be disregarded? Who gets to make that determination?

How about asking “so, black lives matter, ok, so which lives don’t matter?”
