Every non-liberal leftist -- that is, nearly every Democrat running for president, New York Times and Washington Post columnist, CNN and MSNBC host, and your left-wing brother-in-law -- labels every Trump supporter and, of course, President Donald Trump, a "racist."
And they don't stop there. Leftists don't only label the half of the country that supports the president "racist," they label all whites and America itself "racist." If your son or daughter attends or recently attended an American university, it is close to certain he or she was repeatedly told that America and all whites are racist. According to the left, whites are divided between those who admit they are racist and those who don't admit it.
Every conservative and many liberals know this is a big lie. The great question is: Do leftists believe it? It is impossible to know. But this we do know: If you repeat something often enough, and if your Weltanschauung (worldview) and that which gives your life meaning are dependent upon believing something, you will eventually believe it.
So here is a way to show it is a lie.
Ask any white conservative, including one who supports Trump, the following three questions:
1) Do you have more in common with, and are you personally more comfortable in the company of, a white leftist or a black conservative?
2) Would you rather have nine white leftists or nine black conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court?
3) Would you rather your child marry a black Christian conservative or a white non-Christian liberal?
A white racist would prefer the whites in each case.
I have asked these questions of thousands of Trump supporters at lectures and on my radio show. Not once has a white Trump-supporting conservative said he or she would be more comfortable in the presence of a white leftist than a black conservative, or would prefer an all-white liberal Supreme Court to an all-black conservative Supreme Court. Not once has a white Christian conservative said he or she would prefer their child marry a white non-Christian liberal to a black Christian conservative.
If you're an honest leftist, this should present a powerful challenge to your belief that all white conservatives are racist.
But it won't. Leftists have too much at stake to confront the truth about conservatives. Everything the left has ever believed has depended upon lying about opponents. From the day Stalin labeled Trotsky -- who served as the head of the Red Army and who, along with Lenin, founded the Bolshevik Party -- a "fascist," leftists have lied about their opponents.
Some liberals lie and some conservatives lie, but the truth is both a liberal and conservative value. It has never been a left-wing value. Any leftist who would commit himself to the truth would cease being a leftist. He would either become an anti-left liberal or an anti-left conservative.
"America is racist." "Whites are racist." "Trump supporters are racist." These are all big lies.
So, then, given how important it is to leftists to maintain the lie of conservative racism -- along with xenophobia, misogyny, transphobia and Islamophobia -- how would they rebut conservatives' answers to these questions?
Presumably, they would argue that every conservative who responds to these questions as I described is lying.
But these questions are important -- no matter how much leftists ignore or dismiss them -- because they perform an important service for conservatives.
I know this from Jewish history. There was so much Jew-hatred in the medieval Christian world that Jews sometimes wondered if there was any truth to the attacks on them. When a whole society denigrates a group, members of the denigrated group start wondering whether any of the attacks on them have any truth. But when the charge of blood libel -- that Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to bake matzos for Passover -- arose, it liberated Jews from taking any of the anti-Semites' attacks seriously. Every Jew knew the blood libel was a lie -- Jews never consumed animal blood, let alone human blood.
Every conservative knows his responses to these three questions are heartfelt and true, so these questions can help conservatives come to see the left's charge of conservative racism as medieval Jews came to see the anti-Semites' blood libel charge: as a lie.
In academia, the entire purpose of the identity politics movement is apply scholarly research to manufacture and indoctrination of victim hood and racism.
In effect, they indoctrinate their students into racial and gender hatred with fabricated history of oppression and a false sense of victimhood.
It’s like the EPA was with pollution
Back in the day our big cities like LA had such bad air pollution and song that that you could not see mountains a few miles away and every morning you car would be covered with black soot. The EPA regulations cleaned up auto emissions to the point where the air in automobile exhaust is often “cleaner” than the air exiting. The battle for cleanup of the air has been largely won but the EPA needs to justify its existence so it keeps more and more restrictive and counterproductive regulations
Entire regions of the Southwest have been extremely restrictive pollution regulations because they have been deemed non attainment areas because of a few naturally occurring dust storms which is insane
Leftist belief is cult-like. The mere presentation of facts will often have no effect.
The left’s use of supposed racism as a political lever is despicable. It’s doing great damage to the country but they’re comfortable with that.
Prager rightly speaks of lies and of the big lie.
Relevant quotes from the wikipedia page on the big lie:
By Hitler in Mein Kampf: “All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”
By Goebbels: “The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”
The Democrat-Media complex has searched since the night of the election for the proper big lie to promulgate, and to repeat continuously, as a mantra for their adherents, and a din to we others.
His point is that socialists/communists/Marxists make a habit of hiding their ideology by co-opting words and redefining them to suit their cause.
Just my opinion, but I don't think it detracts at all.
I always thank them.
And announce claims of racism are the universal sign that a Leftist has lost the argument (just like Godwin’s Law). Then I tell them I accept their surrender.
Racist no longer has meaning....it’s a nothing word.
Like everything liberalism touches, it’s been destroyed....it’s now become a useless word in a sentence...kinda like “ummm”, “aaah”, “errr” etc. It’s just a useless filler word for left-wing whackos.....it’s a nothing burger..

How to Tell If a Leftist Is Racist
Is it a leftist? Then it is a racist.
But the so-called “black conservative” is just “acting” white. That’s why you are more comfortable around him. So you are still racist.
1) Do you have more in common with, and are you personally more comfortable in the company of, a white leftist or a black conservative?
2) Would you rather have nine white leftists or nine black conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court?
3) Would you rather your child marry a black Christian conservative or a white non-Christian liberal?
That depends. Are they black first and foremost? If the answer is yes then none of the above. We are lead to believe that so called 'black conservatives' are not racial in the least yet they have groups such as the National Black Republican Association?? So which is it? Are you black or are you Republican?
What is the over/under for Trump being called racist in the debates? 150?
Are you breathing and Caucasian? You’re automatically a racist in the new world order!!!
Ok, let’s do this.
As of 2016, there are 233,657,078 white people in the US, out of a population of 318,558,162. That’s 73.3%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity
It’s a commonly known fact that all white people are racists.
Of the non-white people, 3% of blacks are republican, and 14% of hispanics are republican. 8% of blacks and 28% hispanics lean republican.
https://www.people-press.org/2018/03/20/1-trends-in-party-affiliation-among-demographic-groups/
So let’s say that 11% of blacks and 42% of hispanics are republican.
11% of the black population is 4,426,600 of 40,241,818. 42% of the hispanic population is 19,740,000 of 47,000,000.
As we all know, Republicans are all racists.
So that means that out of a population of 318,558,162, 257,823,678 are racists. That’s 81%.
That, my FRiends, is the “logic of the left.”
If you take the race card out of the liberal deck, it exposes their losing hands.
I used to use the two terms interchangeably, but I have since come to the conclusion that they are not.
I have a very long explanation to describe the difference in detail, but I suspect your patience would be tried reading it, so I will summarize it.
Liberals are somewhat normal people who view things emotionally without taking the time to think them through, and their malformed views on one or two things is acted on by their limited logic to set their views on other things. These are often not bad of ideological people, and they can usually be talked to in some degree. You won't often change their minds, but they aren't like the two categories of Leftists described below.
Leftists are not "somewhat normal people". I divide leftists into two classes of Leftists:
It is interesting and ironic, because if we end up in CWII, the "True Leftists" AND the "True Believers" are the ones our side would have to go to war with. However, when the Left fights, The "True Leftists" will not only go after US (a given) they will also go after their own "True Believers". Their own people who mindlessly supported them will be dragged away to be tortured and murdered by their own ideological brethren, and as they are dragged away, they will be screaming in confusion "Why are you doing this? I am one of you! I supported you!"
All to no avail, of course. The "True Believers" would present just as great a risk to the "True Leftists" as we would, just in a different way.
Don’t bother “defending yourself”. Since the unhinged Left is using the playground tactic of name calling, throw it back to them at their own juvenile level. Simply reply, “No, YOU’RE a racist!”
Ronald Reagan: “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”
Note: the Left has taken over the term "liberal" in an attempt to hide their true evil nature.
