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.
BLigots
1. Blancophobes
2. Self hating humans
3. Delusional
4. Targets
I thought this was only a minority of people who believed this, but I came across it on face book.
“Blacks can’t be racist”
“If Blacks are racist, whites are even more so”
There are actually people that believe this?
Caucaphobes
Black Supremacists?
My wife, who is American but living with me in Canada, said she experienced tons of black on white racism. Especially when she dated a black man.
Or tell them to fxxx off, and call them racists despite their idiotic protestations.
I identify them by their actions, not by their skin color or facial features.
Ethnic Cleansers
ML/NJ
Well, I have no power so I can’t be racist either.
BLACISTS!
Slavery ended over 150 years ago. Get a life brother .
I’d get kicked out BIGTIME if I answered that question.
Wow! I think you are on to something.
I don’t know what you would call it, but I think that the belief in your own inherent inferiority is what causes the behavior we are seeing.
Such a belief is probably caused by a “civil rights movement”. Black people who make it on their own, just like everybody else, don’t have this belief. Civil Rights is just the new Democrat slavery.
Good One! Nice to find someone who's read Tom Wolfe! Sounds like you also understand him.
Knew some "Flack Catchers" when I worked at the Pentagon on Missile Defense (SDIO).
Have you read Jousting with SAM and Charlie? It's Wolfe's prequel to Right Stuff about Naval Air off "Yankee Station."
“Racialist slaves”...
It's really good that blacks can't be racists so we don't have to wonder if these bones are from light-skinned Tutsi or dark-skinned Hutu.
I thought the same thing seconds before I read your posting. That's the kind of thing I was talking about!
