And that, of course, is the problem.Speaking out against racism is certainly a good thing. The problem arises when one side of an argument calls the other side racist just to end the any further discussion. It's more than amusing to watch white middle class yuppie larva tell black Trump supporters that they're racist. At this point the term racist has lost all meaning.
Screaming RACIST, whether your target has come within 500 of miles of racism or not, is guaranteed to (a) put your target on the defensive, and (b) avoid open and honest conversation. It solves nothing. It improves nothing. It heals nothing. It only makes things worse. It exacerbates. RACIST. RACIST. RACIST.
The Regressives know this, they know they've criminally diluted a terribly important word, but they're addicted to the behavior. They're not interested in healing or improving things. And it obviously played a part in the national pushback of 2016. Enough people became sick of this ploy, including many honest liberals.
