ANSWER, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End RacismThe word “racism” no longer has any real meaning. It is simply used as a synonym for "bad".In an article in Workers World, he bitterly condemned the "lawless aggression" of the "imperialist" and "racist" U.S. air patrols enforcing the no-fly zone.
At a news conference the day before the protest, he grew angry when asked about his association with the WWP. "I want to talk about you," he said. "National Review is a racist pro-war magazine.
It's got a long — many, many generations of racism and militarism.
This is a right-wing, racist, militarist magazine.
Yet another member of the WWP secretariat, a woman named Sara Flounders, also spoke at the rally, denouncing George W. Bush's "racist arrogance" and "plans for criminal war of colonial conquest."
By the time the rally was over the audience had heard enough cries of "Butcher Sharon!," "We don't want your racist war!," and "Free Mumia" to last for many months to come.
e.g.:
Conservatives espouse ideas that I don't agree with, therefore they are racist. My soup is either too cold or too salty therefore it is racist.This serves two purposes.
1. It allows you to be racist at your leisure. If you control and distort the meaning of the word you can prevent it from being used against you.2. Your opponents can never defend their selves against an accusation that has no meaning.
Well stated. And it should be heard by the FR judges and juries eager to paint anyone who disagrees with their conservative visions of Utopia as, what else, "racist". Erase eracism, I say!
