It is way past time to call out those who use false allegations of racism to obtain power and exert political leverage as perpetuating the worst kind of evil.
For many years, it was common for pundits to remark, "The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans think Democrats are wrong and misguided, while Democrats believe that Republicans are evil." This didn't particularly bother Republicans because they saw the Democrats' charge as an absurd point of view, not to be taken too seriously. After all, most Republicans believe in limiting the powers of government, a colorblind society that rewards hard work and merit, and traditional Judeo-Christian morality as the bedrock for guiding personal behavior. They know that communism is evil, fought it during the Cold War, and fight it still today. They know that the content of someone's character really is more important than the color of his skin. They know that sin is not something to be rewarded, but rather to be discouraged. They know, in other words, that because all humans are naturally corruptible, their faith should be placed not in man alone, but rather in the wisdom of a higher power.
So when Democrats accused people who believe in the unremitting "battle between good and evil" of actually being evil, themselves, the insult seemed preposterous enough to be ignored. Republicans laughed it off as evidence that Democrats take politics too seriously and that too often, the most serious Democrats are too young to have gained that wisdom available only through hard experience. Give them time, and they'll come to their senses, as most do.
In hindsight, it is clear that being called "evil" by Democrats was not a harmless aspersion unworthy of response.

Leftism is the religion of evil. There is no other word for it.
Because I am an older American, I have to fill out many forms at hospitals, Doctor offices, Government documents, etc., in which they all ask for “Race”. The thought occurred to me while filling out the latest form that I should just put “American” where the blank is for race. What is race anyway? It is a term that is used to determine ‘benefits’, or to discriminate against the “White” majority (which is no longer true in this country anyway). As Martin Luther King said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. Why don’t we refuse to acknowledge “race” at all? Tell the CNN’s and ABC’s of the world that they should “cancel” the word “race”, and instead classify folks as “American” or non-citizen. That is the only distinction that is important. I will fill out future forms as “American” in the race blank, or “other”..
Yes. The very racism that they successfully J’ACCUSED the Right / Republicans, of perpetrating.
Exactly!
I have found that race is optional—they do not require people to fill out that part. So I don’t.
When it is required, I hit Other, since I could theoretically claim something else.
If everyone stopped filling out the race question, it would be great! The government old no longer be able to sort us by race!

“As government controls and the power of political pull have soared, many Americans have come to feel – some reluctantly, others righteously – that survival requires identification with a group, which can serve as one’s refuge in an uncertain world, one’s protector from the other groups, and one’s lobbyist in Washington. The easiest group to form or to join is one defined by race…”
“This is the emergence in the United States of the most primitive form of collectivism, the form endemic to backward cultures (and to controlled economies): tribal racism. Racism is what takes over anywhere – wherever the knowledge of the nature and possibilities of man, man the individual, has not yet been grasped, or is being battered into oblivion.”
