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.
- American Heritage Dictionary
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.
They support and promote the lie that there is systemic racism in this country. They are EVIL!
The only systemic racism that I'm aware of is Affirmative Action.
And Hate crime laws.
And the welfare system.
aka "equal opportunity", "tolerance", "diversity and inclusion", and "communism"
Me too. They say I am a science denier but I'm just waiting for some scientific evidence. Any kind of evidence under the standards of evidence.
Systematic racism does exist against Blacks in the form of the Democrats/Leftists telling blacks they're victims and powerless, which leads to blacks acting like powerless victims and feeling like they're not respected.
It also exists against white males in the form of Affirmative Action.
