Of course, everything is racism now. The only thing that isn't, is genuine, grade-A racism towards a white person. Because you can't be racist towards a white, now that we've redefined what "racism" means (adding in elements like "asymmetry of power," and whatnot) with all the bullshit Critical Race Theory. So now we've got actual racists like Robin DiAngelo, openly admitting their own racism, projecting it onto all other whites, and telling the whole world that all whites are inherently racist, and the only solution is more... racism? We must actively be racist now (against whites, and by treating people differently based on race) to create not equality but equity -- My program is, unfortunately, heavy on Critical Theory, so I'm about as informed in this area as someone like James Lindsay [edit, want to add this isn't a negative for James. He's great, and exposing all this, as I'm trying to as well, in academia. Recommend everyone check him and Prof Boghossian out. They aren't Trump supporters, but they're at least "based" in this particular area]-- as frustrating as that is, it is helpful in at least recognizing the tactics they use and effectively dismantling their arguments. I hate being in academia, but I have at least learned how to discreetly drop red pills to these intersectional wokees

edit - Just a funny anecdote: had a moron on FB [and this moron is an old friend, too... and one that is an actual biology Ph.D researcher and professor... because academia has been totally overtaken by the Critical Theory, intersectional idiots] telling me a while ago how being colorblind is racist. Then, just recently, they posted the MLK "I have a dream" speech, and I promptly commented and reminded them of our earlier conversation on facebook, shared a screenshot, and let them know that they were racist, along with MLK, by their own logic. And still, an academic like this, won't hear anything from someone like me, equally as credentialed, but whose background is actually in these stupid fields stemming from critical theory. I try and explain the history of this field, its purpose, inherent marxism, and how they even explicitly outline their aims/goals, but he's too convinced he's right (even though I have the unfortunate background that has me well versed in all the Marcuse, Derrida, Horkeimer, Foucault, Gramsci, Crenshaw, Judith Butler... all the idiots whose work is built on a foundation of Frankfurt school cultural marxism and destruction of traditional western values, culture and institutions) . Must have been through too many re-education workshops

Great post. We're in a dangerous time.

Absolutely -- as I just responded to another comment...

"I'm with you, and my attitude has changed greatly this year alone. I'm far more vocal now, and they can call me whatever they want, now. The lines are drawn, the heads being counted, and I'm not shy about what side I'm on. They want war. They're already at war. High time those with their head in the sand recognize that (not advocating for violence... yet. But I am advocating for everyone coming to this realization, preparing to defend ourselves and country/values, and organizing together to those ends)"

Nothing that the Frankfurt school discovered was actually experienced in the real world. It was just twisted nonsense that lead towards the chaos of today.
