The root of the word should be obvious.
If it doesn’t advance the progressive socialist Marxist agenda, it’s racist.

Jesus said that the world will hate you because they really hate him. It is a badge of honor to be hated for His namesake.
“What are they going to do, burn ALL the history, art, science, philosophy, etc, books ever written by western men?”
Yes.
[ It appears they’re now equating “Western Civilization” with majority white European people/countries so all Western Democracies are now racist, ie, the enemy of humanity/human rights? ]
To beat my well-worn drum: This will lead the world into the Tribulation. We may shut some part of it down now but as generations are born into these things, it becomes their new norm. As the bar keeps being set lower and lower.
In the 1960’s, at least Marxism and Communism and Socialism were basically bad words outside of some of the hippies. Today, those hippies are teaching in a lot of colleges to skulls full of mush.
And those things are promoted and applauded by the Democratic Party.
20 years ago, I would not have believed it possible in this short amount of time.
On 9/11/2001, if you had said a Muslim sympathizer would be elected President in 7 short years, and then serve TWO terms I would have laughed.
(BTW, those Chick Tracts - yes those - one of them had a scenario with a Muslim predicting their flag would fly over the White House by 2010 IIRC). Yes it was off by 2 years, election-wise but it actually wasn’t that far off in the spirit arriving there. Only by 2 years (if my 2010 memory is correct - I remember it was out of sync with elections).
Racism is whatever the offended minority says it is.
I’d rather be deemed a racist and be in Christ than be the most beloved secularist PC twit in Hell.
I remember the race protests of the 60’s.
They weren’t asking for ‘special treatment’- they already had that.
They wanted the benefits of “western civilization”. Like everyone else.
Uh Oh, Jim. You said “Western Civilization”.
No House appointments for you.
Racist.
Jim, this has been the goal, in my opinion, for some time— of the progressive Statists who are also globalists. There just cannot be a Christian or Western Civilization world for these people... and so, they are trying to re-write history.
Again, in my opinion, the soros neo socialists and frankly, the communists wherever they are (and they are in the Anti-FA as the organizing principles, the Revolutionary CP of US- it’s on all their posters as revcom.com)— want to erase European Civilization, for indeed it was the Europeans who first did away with slavery, having been pushed out of Christianity’s birthplace in the Middle East by the Saracens (the muslims) who practiced slavery on all Europeans for some 400 years before the First Crusades ( I know, going back a long way,but clearly still going on in Yemen and Africa). Without stopping the muslim horde by Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours— all Europe would have been so enslaved.
So, now— the open borders soros crowd (and their US pals in the globalist agenda) wants no immigration control to enable invading our country, not assimilating to our Constitutional Republic and our Western Civilized Judeo-Christian (and even Deist, like the Founders) culture. The Leftists see this as a great opportunity— to ride on the coattails of islamofascists (helped by obama, frankly) and take over our Republic.
So, all the globalists toe the line, and push the socialist agenda denegrating Patriots who want our country back as conceived by the Founders. The more we push them back (MAGA) the more fanatic they are becoming— right back to the main points of their agenda for takeover in the opening session of the House last week, starting with HR.1. and a host of other passed bills— which should NOT be entertained by the Republican Senate in any form. But it seems there is a remake of some anti-Trump “Gang” being formed there, starting with Romney (a new Senator demanding the expulsion of a loyal long serving Conservative Republican-— for his expression of opinion using words the globalist elite will not tolerate— Western Civilization). Truly incredible, and somebody needs to slap Romney down, as he seems to think his new role is the “shadow” President.
That's the thing though, that's how liberals operate... Separate everyone into little groups, make up random attacks on those little groups, ride in to save those little groups.
Only someday, maybe long in the future, maybe sooner than we think, the people in the little groups will realize that liberals are riding into save them because they think them incapable of actually defending themselves.
Truly, the idiot who says ‘I don't wanna have no East Indian driver’ is but a one dimensional creature and hardly much of a threat since they openly show their ignorance.
But the insidious rampant institutional racism of liberalism who has predetermined that entire cultures are never going to evolve enough to defend themselves - that is the true threat of racism, and one which is rampant throughout the Democrat party.
This stuff is an offshoot of a field called “Critical Theory”, among other things, part of what came to be known as the Frankfurt School of Social Research, outlined by Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer and others. They were communists kicked out of Europe in the 1930s and came to America, Columbia university. We studied about the Frankfurt School at a state university 20 years ago. I was horrified. They’ve ramped it up to eleventy since that time.
It’s a system of deconstructing an existing society. If I remember right, it was Marcuse who came up with the “Make Love Not War” slogan in the 60s. Even then, the destabilizing efforts were well under way. Another piece of the puzzle around that time was written by a pair of university professors, Piven & Cloward. They suggested a method of overwhelming existing social welfare systems by flooding them with applicants to collapse them.
All races and all cultures are not now and have never been "equal" no matter how much the damned left tries to convince us of that!
None of the Northern, Central, Southern American people had even discovered how to make and use the wheel, when Europeans first went there; ditto the vast majority of the people inhabiting the African continent! And as far as "culture", etc. goes...they were and still are found wanting!
The whole Rousseauian "NOBLE SAVAGE" garbage is SO wrong, that it's laughable!
And "RACISM" has always been embedded in all of mankind, though it has often been called something else and used different details towards the "other".

In June 2016, Trump stated: "Yet today, 240 years after the Revolution, we have turned things completely upside-down." - Donald Trump
And it's not just about jobs and economic opportunity. It's about freedom, exercise of "Creator-endowed rights and liberties," and opportunity for each citizen, not just self-appointed elitists who fancy themselves as entitled to make decisions for all.
Thomas Jefferson, only days before his death on July 4, 1826, explaining his inability to attend a gathering to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration, wrote to Roger Weightman:
" I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them."(Jefferson, June 24, 1826, to Roger Weightman, End of Jefferson quotation)Some time ago, I posted the following:
"Perhaps the so-called "progressive" enemies of freedom understand better than those who fancy themselves as "conservatives" that in order to reverse the Founders' ideas of "People over government," and institute "government over People," they must first marginalize and destroy the ideas from which liberty is derived.
The writings of America's Founders are replete with references which rebuke would-be tyrants and cite a Higher Source for life, liberty and rights. Early histories confirm those facts.
As so-called "progressives" have led a movement in forsaking the Founders' "reliance on Divine Providence," and belief that individuals are "endowed by their Creator," they also have forsaken the principles underlying America's Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and are systematically dismantling the greatest protections for liberty ever established for a people.
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that other world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
The Visigoths are inside the gates.
Western Civilization and Biblical Christianity are the twin pillars of personal liberty.
The Marxists and Muslims are united globally in their lust to destroy both.
