“racist” term is meaningless

The accusation is thrown around so much these days that the word has become meaningless.
The term used to have some teeth. A racist person was someone that would do harm to another just because of their race. I knew some hardcore racists growing up and they were solidly behind the notion. That blacks were not meant to be in their presence unless they were serving them something. They pretty much saw them as sub human. Not saying they’d physically abuse them but they certainly held the belief that their life was worth less just because of their race. I’d call the behavior racist. And they’d jot care of anyone called them that. It was a badge of honor.
I’ve also known hard core klansmen. People that held rally’s and marched. These were people with beliefs so deeply felt that they were driven to burn crossed in peoples yards that they believed to be lovers of other races. They held the word “racist” in very high regard.
I knew David Duke and spoke to him about his beliefs. He was an interesting person in that he saw the klan as unsophisticated and wanted to put a new face on things. He wanted a more polished look. His belief seemed to be more of a separate but equal position. He didn’t care if you called him racist.
Now the term is thrown around with such abandon that it’s just meaningless. It almost changed daily. Social media gives people the ability to put labels on things at will.
The only ones that are scared to be called racist are politicians, media types and liberals. The reason for that is pure choice. They choose to be outraged at the accusation. The ultimate goal is to make words illegal. It’s the plaintiff lawyers dream afterall if words can be made illegal. This is what they want;. Expand the plaintiff net to include words that hurt people’s feelings.
Bleeding hearts though, always look for reasons to get their feeling hurt

I guess so, their whole business model is dependent on being liked

Let someone accuse you of being racist at your workplace and see how meaningless the term is.

When most people say racist they really mean insensitive or inappropriate

Exactly! Just like when black politicians or leaders are caught red handed in corruption or bad behavior, they quickly pull out the race card & scream racism!! That b.s. is getting very, very old!!

I have said this same thing in multiple settings
It’s so misused that it has zero weight anymore.
People have straight up forgotten what the word bigotry was and just throw out the “scary” R word instead in hopes that apologetic white folks will bow down

Kyle Rittenhouse shooting three white men is evidence that he is a white supremacist.
