Till you neuter the “racist” word you will have no conservative movement of any heft, no matter how much you grovel or weep.
If a white man calls someone a Negro, he is a racist, even though we still have the NAACP.
If a white man calls someone a ni##er, he is a racist, even though it is OK for them to use that word when talking to another.
If a white man calls someone a black man, he is a racist and is told he should use the term African American.
Next, if a white man calls someone an African American, he will be told he should use the term American of African decent.
Bottom line, the white man will always be called a racist, because it always puts him on the defensive in any argument and he can’t win in a politically correct world.
Agreed. Steyn’s article is an attempt to do that.
