I think it's fair to say that everyone in America who isn't either "of color" or irredeemably brainwashed by our educational system is sick of being called a racist. While most people have been busy getting on with other things, left-wing academics and minority activists have changed the language itself to suit their agendas. We ignore this cultural Marxist shell game at our peril. We cannot allow ourselves to be defined by our enemies' linguistic sleight of hand.
When I was a pudgy child in elementary school, the teachers explained to me what "racism" was. They told me over and over that it was that it was racist to judge a person by the color of his skin. My school's formula was a simplification of Martin Luther King's evocative phrase: "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

A tacit agreement has permeated the West since WW2 that it is simply too dirty and too dangerous to even imagine that races, or cultures, for that matter, might be more than superficially different. Believe they are different, and you will be called a Nazi and accused of advocating genocide. This accusation is nonsense on its face. Relativism unhinges everything that the West has ever accomplished. Real science is what gets slaughtered when you force upon it the ugly concept of the taboo question — the hypothetical that can never even be discussed. The race realists are probably right — but even doing honest research on racial differences has long been a one-way ticket to academic suicide. Charles Murray and James Watson are only two of the names that come to mind.

Courageous writer.
This is crimethink, but it is truth.
So are you. So is every body.
So whut? BFD.
Indeed! That is so true and we are now at a crossroads. It also isn't just a mind thing it is a numbers thing too. In addition to all the propaganda and brainwashing that has been going on for decades now we are also being overwhelmed through the ongoing invasion. Even though many whites are loathe to consider it, whites can not make any of it stop without banding together as whites. And stop it we must. Our children, progeny and nation will pay a very heavy price if we do not.
Banding together as whites is prohibited and this is how they will succeed. They know together we make things happen because this IS a white country, THE MAJORITY and its people are compassionate and inclusive but the left doesn’t want to hear that. The lefts agenda is to keep us divided by calling us racists and white nationalists so that we will not band together and fight. Majority rules. By invasion and creating a social atmosphere and laws demanding the majority heel while allowing non whites to move ahead by the color of their skin or ethnicity is their program to majority rule and ultimately their eternal rule
Even though many whites are loathe to consider it, whites can not make any of it stop without banding together as whites.
**********
And whites can band together as whites for self defense while still working with non-whites of good will to make America great. Nothing racist about that whatsoever.
The fact of the matter is that brown people clamor to immigrate to countries run by majority white people. The reverse dies not exist. Not because brown people are inherently bad but because running prosperous, efficient countries is not typically in their skill set.
The article is missing that relatively recently academicians have defined racism as “the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites and continued racial economic inequality.” This definition has been very deliberately crafted to make it impossible for black people to be racist and making it much easier to accuse white people of being racists independent of any actual evidence.
There’s a big difference between being “racist” and simply being”racial.” Racism is disliking somebody just because of their race; being racial is simply to acknowledge race.
If I prefer that my son or daughter marries a White person, is that me being “racist” or just being “racial?” Is it “racist” to say that Black people are better at basketball than White people are, or is it “racial?” If I’m turned on by having sex with a White woman but not a Black woman, am I being “racist” or simply “racial?”
The REAL problem is that those on The Left can’t understand those differences.
“A tacit agreement has permeated the West since WW2 that it is simply too dirty and too dangerous to even imagine that races, or cultures, for that matter, might be more than superficially different.”
Since the 1960s the government that insists all are equal insists they are not with affirmative action. AA is government acceptance that some will never catch up, and need a permanent (initially supposed to be temporary) helping hand to maintain the illusion of equality.
Racism is disliking somebody just because of their race; being racial is simply to acknowledge race.

Good observation. I know that, in the “hood,” 90% of the blacks would’t hurt a fly, and some would help me with a flat tire. But in my neighborhood, I don’t have to worry about the other 10%.
RACISM is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
RACIAL is relating to race.
This entire nation is RACIAL, because leftists have elevated race to the forefront in every aspect of life in the US. Government, education, religion, business, entertainment, economy, athletics. We can not function without race being the first consideration.
“The article is missing that relatively recently academicians have defined racism as “the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites and continued racial economic inequality.” This definition has been very deliberately crafted to make it impossible for black people to be racist and making it much easier to accuse white people of being racists independent of any actual evidence.”
This is why I make a point of keeping a dictionary from the 1970s. It has none of the politically correct re definitions that are now common.
I reject the current definition of racism. To me, racism is a belief in a genetic predisposition to bad behavior and being incapable of contributing to society. In my experience, these are the result of culture, not genetics. Now, we can talk about whether there is a genetic predisposition to a certain culture but I don’t think so.
Racism is a Communist smear against Caucasians that prefer the company of Caucasians.
Even talking about racism is capitulation.
My 66-year-old wife and a young black woman are drowning in a pool. Am I a racist because I rescue my wife first and not the younger person who has more of a life to live? If your answer is yes, then I guess I am a racist and I can live with that.
Why can’t the young black woman swim?
Was she too lazy to learn?
Racism is not just disliking or judging someone else based their skin color... That is prejudice.
Racism is the BELIEF that your OWN skin color is Superior to other’s.
Someone who is guilty of a prejudice act is not necessarily a racist... although someone who is a RacIST is certainly going to exhibit prejudicial behavior consistently.
Calling someone a racist because they disagree with you or dislike you makes the assumption that they do so because of your skin color, as opposed to the content of your character... which itself is clearly prejudice... but not necessarily racist.
Racism at it’s heart is founded from either a corrupted theology, or a disbelief in God altogether. (Atheism)
Theological racists believe that God has somehow “ordained” or selected them and their race as His “Chosen” people (i.e. Jews are God’s chosen, and God told the jews to commit genocide) Replacement theology suggests that since the jews “blew it”, God replaced them as His chosen with another race of people. Hitler and the KKK are very good examples.
Atheists naturally adopt Darwin’s theory of evolution to explain man’s origins, which if you think about it, leads to a logical conclusion that the different ethnic groups are a modern day example of evolution. (look up the original FULL title of Darwin’s book “origins of species”)
THEREFORE... Racism stems from the corruption of God’s Truth given to us in the bible.
The further we get from God, the more racism will thrive.
Those who actually know God are not racists, because they believe like our founding fathers did that our individual rights COME from God, and that all men are created EQUAL.
Thats really the bottom line...
Racism is the antithesis of the belief that all men are CREATED EQUAL.
American Thinker’s definition is close... but misses a lot.
Racism, at least how I Would define it, has little to do with thought.
Otherwise, the majority of the world is racist.
It’s all about deed.
Do I attack someone because of their race?
That’s racist.
