Words matter. Meanings of words matter. Exactitude of speech and writing matters.
You can tell that most of the people throwing the word "racist" around (also homophobe, misogynist, sexist, privilege) don't really know what the word means.
Critical Theory believes that anybody who is "white", or who refuses to acknowledge the existence of SYSTEMIC racism (no one is seriously discounting individual examples of prejudice), or who will not disavow or apologize for their "whiteness", or fully embrace the godless Black Lives Matter political movement, is a racist and a white supremacist. To these people, you are literally evil incarnate, because you were born evil, if you are "white". They make their hatred of men, and the fair-skinned, and Christians, and heterosexuals very clear.
There is a word for people like this.
bigot: one who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

They are bigots.
So when people start in with their hatred or disdain for "whiteness" or "white people", or any grouping of people deemed evil by this new religion of critical theory, it is acceptable to call them what they are.
They are bigots.
Lefties hate the definitions of the words they love using it’s funny lol
No -- it's double speak, and they know what they are doing... or at least their handlers do.
When you drop the definition of Fascism from Miriam Webster you can see the mental gymnastics live time lol
Like how they love to say 'literally' when it is literally 'figurative'.
I can't believe how much joy I have to see so many people on this site say correctly "I couldn't care less" versus "I could care less". Reddit was nothing but, "I could care less because I'm not scared of science like you." We are the educated. We are the logical.
