If charged with racism, you must be guilty: That’s the left’s new rule
NY Post ^ | August 29 2019 | Abe Greenwald

If you are accused of racism, it is because you are a racist. Case closed. Apologize at once and cease being so hateful. That is the current standard in woke academic thinking on race relations.

Salem State University professor Rebecca Hains says as much in a ­recent essay in The Washington Post, where she offers detailed instructions to white people who find themselves charged with racism. Nowhere in her five-step response plan does she permit the possibility that an accusation of racism could be unfounded. “Even if you know in your heart that you are not racist,” she wrote, “remember, it is possible to have implicit (or unconscious) racial biases.”

When the Unconscious Police pull you over, you must “recognize that what matters most is what happened just now.” Neither past actions nor associations count in your favor. Forget about, say, a personal history of fighting bigotry. Your inner beliefs against racism also count for zilch. The present charge is all the evidence needed to convict. Suck it up and move on to step two.

I saw somewhere on the Internet where Rebecca Hains is a suspected child sex trafficker.

Same name, anyway. Maybe they're all part of the Pedos Against Trump movement...

Define racism.
Show me where it is illegal.

If someone accuses me of racism to my face, they will swiftly and suddenly lose the ability to cast false accusations at anyone.

Once charged, nothing you say matters, so you may as well shut up......

My response:

"Just because you're wrong doesn't mean I have to quit proving it.

These idiots on the Left have cried wolf (racist) one too many times. It is now a non-word and of no meaning to most people.

To be called a racist by the Left is to mean they have lost their argument and you have won.

Even if they call you a racist from the get go, it means nothing anymore. Overused and ineffective. It's like saying your shoestring is untied. So what?

Don't wake me up when the next Leftist professor has bone-headed advice for everyone who is intelligent and normal and not dimwitted and vacuous like they are.

Racist? Ho hum. I'm going back to my nap.

If you apologize, it will be deemed a confession of guilt, and no amount of atonement will be sufficient.

Best response to “You’re a racist” is “You have a right to your opinion. Now go f-— yourself”.

They’re very close to declaring that racism is in the DNA of all white people. That’s about the only accusation they haven’t made to this point.

That accusation has already been made: some college rag had an editorial that read, “your white DNA is an abomination” not too long ago.

Not surprised. They've already run through institutional racism, structural racism, white privilege, white fragility, and several more I'm sure I'm leaving out. Might as well just make it DNA racism.
