I am guilty of racism every day. I am much friendlier to people of other races. I want them to see that white people are nice people too.
I'm sure they see right through my feeble attempts though.

The funniest thing about the “white supremacy” bullshite is that a quick survey of social media shows that minorities are the biggest racists in society today.

Honestly in today’s age if somebody called me racist, I’d probably agree.
And admit that I’m a thief, a murderer, and an adulterer. But so is the person calling me that.
I’m a flawed Christian man that’s fallen short of the glory of God.
Putting a harsh name on it to silence opinions you don’t like is out of style.

I don’t think most people actually care if they’re called racist, they just don’t want to deal with the herds of deadbeat SJWs that will undoubtably try to ruin their life for saying/doing something that a minority didn’t like and was not actually racist.

99% of SJW's and liberals have no clue what racist or racism is.
Liberals throw it around like they are cool.

I grew up in the 60's in a segregated small town. Colored entrances, colored water fountains, etc. While racism still exists today, it is nothing, and I mean nothing like it used to be. Prejudices today occur probably about the same for both whites and blacks as a group. In fact racism per se is much worse in most societies outside of America.

I have kinda been just sitting back for a year or so and watching things escalate. Its amazing how many people, real and not real, get so offended when a person calls them "Racist".
The world is racist. Every person is racist. If that were not the case, we would not have things in the world that separate people. That will never change. I would say a very high percentage of all types of people will always be "racist" towards other types of people. Its human nature and will never change.

Is it racists to call someone racists simply because they are a different race?

I would hope that most white people don't want to be called racist due to our society's history of black oppression. But the term has been thrown around so much as an ignorant political protest that many are becoming insensitive to it.

Being called racist by idiots online is no big deal.
Being accused of racism at work can ruin your career. Tread carefully.

Because being a racist is a sign of naivety and low-intelligence usually the result of living in one’s own bubble and not experiencing the world around them.

I hate the term "racist." The fact that it exists signifies that it carries greater significance than anything else you can be prejudice over (aside from "sexist" obviously).

The word has been rendered useless.

There are some good points made in some of these posts.
I will add this. It is not wise to dismiss that real racism does exist and probably happens outside of what you can perceive. The same can be said for sexism.
The truth most on here don't want to confront is that the Left is correct in their vigilance. However, they fall short on how they implement their morality.
As an example, you have a farm and you notice some cabbages are clearly being stolen. You could set up a camera and get the police to help out OR you go around blaming every farmer within a 20-mile radius of stealing.
Far Leftists are taking the latter approach.
Now the former approach would be taken by moderates. If real racism does exist, it needs to be dealt with. But even then you need to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. Outside of your occupation or protection from physical harm, it usually isnt worth it.

I usually just consider the source of the accusation and that’s that for me.

Just so I understand, you're saying that it is incorrect that being accused of racism can ruin a career?

I embrace it.
