If you are not in broad agreement with the Left you are prima facie a Racist. The term does not really relate to one’s ideas and attitudes regarding race. It is a word of Opprobrium and it it fits anyone deserving opprobrium which is anyone who is not in lockstep with the Left. All words that imply or denote opprobrium or approval are only that. They have no other meaning for the Left and use is determined solely by the effect of the particular word. If “racist ceases to resonate properly it will be replaced by another word that has a more profound effect.
The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), its called racism. When other groups engage in favoritism, its called ethnic solidarity. When you buy into these word games, its called being a useful idiot.
