Because leftists have largely controlled the print and broadcast news institutions in the United States for the last century, they have long exercised a kind of monopoly in rendering public judgment on the recently departed. In obituaries and news stories, leftists tell us who lived good or bad lives.

This ignoble tradition has continued following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
...
Of all the different ways that leftist news media have attempted to assassinate Charlie’s character, it is their deranged description of him as some kind of “racist” that most infuriates me.

With the supply of anti-black racism running low in America, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and their race-obsessed friends have had to sell America on invisible “white supremacy.” You see all those nice people laughing and getting along in the park? That’s white supremacy! Have you noticed that Asian-American children work really hard to succeed in school? That’s white supremacy, too! Do you try to follow the law, pay your bills, and show up to work on time? Then you’re a white supremacist! And don’t get me started on the “global warming” effects of backyard barbecues. Could loving dads wearing “Kiss the Chef” aprons be bigger white supremacists?
With “white supremacy” lurking behind every “microaggression,” the grievance industry has made an amazing comeback in the years since Barack Obama taught America that electing a black guy with a Muslim name means the whole country must pay reparations. What we have now is a veritable catch-22: If you don’t do what leftists tell you, you’re a “racist.” If you do exactly what they tell you, you’re a closeted “white supremacist.”

I was really surprised to see the title of the OpEd in the Seattle Times. Something like “The Charlie Kirk Shooting is a Threat to Democracy”.
I thought, well I guess they had to write something nice.
Of course it wasn’t. With the obligatory “Of course murder isn’t the answer” out of the way, the writer talked about how his murder was due to Trump’s “authoritarian” rule, and would only embolden Trump who of course is a threat to democracy.
Paranoia is rampant in today’s news media. When they’re unemployed you see them standing on street corners fending off imaginary people.
Charlie Kirk WAS racist. Because of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in him, he was racist. He loved the HUMAN race!
.
That’s a silly comparison, and isn’t logical.
That’s not the meaning of “racist”.
Is there really a meaning for the worst ‘racist’? For lefties, it seems that anyone they disagree with is a ‘racist’.
In an old, printed dictionary it will tell you that a "racist" is someone who believes people of another race are inferior human beings. That has morphed into the modern meaning of someone who hates people of another race.
