The next time somebody tells you that racism is prejudice and power, ask them if a devout KKK member were to move to Africa whether or not they stopped being racist, because they are in a country and without power?
You can’t use logic on Liberals. Their brains aren’t wired that way. Everything is emotions and feelings.
Thanks. What does your BLM facemark represent? A collective. What does my stars and stripes facemark represent? All of us individuals. We the people. ELM - Everybody’s Life Matters.
So true. Go to their conscience. Most have some. The EVIL PSYCHOPATHS have none. Watch them...in government in particular.
Witness that when someone notable dies, the ratio of prayers for the departed, here, to the calls for prayers, or even any degree of loss, from the Other Side.
You’ve fallen into their trap, you’re now arguing the definition of racism. Tell them that regardless of what they call it, they want to treat people terribly simply due to their skin color.
I think it refuted them, because than their arguement of racism is shown to be not set in stone.
Meh...tell them they are idiots and call it a day.
Liberals (i.e. democrats) are emotional wrecks. Cognitive dissonance is the only way they are able to function so they constantly lie to themselves to feel better.
No amount of logic works.

Prejudice with power. More liberal redefinition. More attempting to change the truth in order for it to be in agreement with them.
Why would they need to move? They have no power in this country either.
I have never heard anyone make the argument that racism is prejudice and [with] power. Do you have a personal or media example of it?
I have always understood that a racist is person whose behavior reflects racism - acting against others due to their race, regardless of whether the racist had any power by which to enforce their racist intent.
Is the KKK no longer racist and no longer practicing racism because they have no power? No. Power may make racist intentions more powerful, but the racism is there even when there is no power.
But I digress. I really never heard a Liberal make the argument you suggest we might have heard from a Liberal.

It may have been around in academic circles as par of the “R2” Marxist/Collectivist form of “racism”, but I do not recall seeing it in much general - nonacademic - writing on the subject until very recently, after the BLM movement.
And outside of such circles, I don’t think the term has been widely used - until now in some circles.
The links you provide are a good point of demonstration though - how Marxists seek to change the language in their agendas to change the culture.
