It's been done clearly as a tactic to stifle discourse and it's succeeding.
This shoudn't be allowed by the mods and should there should be a cite or ban rule as this is getting ridiculous at this point.
Racists gonna race.
You don’t even know what racism is. How can you tell if these labels are being properly supported. I get that some of you think saying and doing racist stuff over and over doesn’t make one racist, but all the non racists in the world concur, that is not true.
I get that racists bristle at having it pointed out that they are racist but we went from decades of racism being underground for a large percentage of people which was met with capitulation.
Trump ushered in a new era were racists felt free to surface and openly hate again. The appropriate response is to call these people out directly and continuously. That they do not like it is not a real bother. I do not care if a racist feels harried or bullied. If they want to stop being racist, I will applaud their efforts.
But when someone says “Nobody wants a black doctor operating on them because they probably got into college with inferior abilities” and scream “I’m not a racist” I can only laugh and say, of course you are. This scenario plays out on this forum many times a day.
The BEST way to stop people from calling you a racist, is to stop being racist. It is not hard. It is easy if you try.
