If we’re going by today’s definition, then okay, I’m a racist.

The word racism used to have a much sharper and more specific meaning. It referred to hostility, discrimination, or belief in superiority based on race. That remains a serious moral charge, and it should be reserved for serious cases.

But in modern politics, the word is often stretched far beyond that meaning. It is now frequently used as a weapon against people who disagree with a particular social, immigration, national, or cultural policy. Instead of proving that an opponent actually believes in racial superiority or racial discrimination, politicians simply attach the word racism to them in order to discredit them.

That is what I object to here. Wanting stronger borders, questioning mass immigration, opposing multicultural policy, or criticizing a political movement is not automatically racism. Those positions may be right or wrong, wise or foolish, compassionate or harsh, but they should be debated on their actual merits. Calling them “racism” cheapens the word and makes honest political debate almost impossible.

If everything outside the approved progressive view is branded racist, then the word stops describing actual racial hatred and becomes just another partisan insult. That does not defeat racism. It weakens our ability to identify the real thing.

The woke came up with this crap. Throw in the word ‘fascist’ while we’re at it. Both words are now completely diluted and mean nothing anymore. Being labeled either of these in the past would sting. Not anymore. Both terms are used against people that possess common sense.

If you’re woke and call me any of these words…..thank you. You just proved I’m on the right side of the argument. And that’s because you have no legitimate point against my position. You’re reduced to using political epithets. You have no intellect whatsoever.
