    The Dictionary Definition of Racism Has to Change

    We need to redefine the term "racism" to accommodate progressive ideologues.

    Mitchum was frustrated by people telling her, in debates about racism, that her 3.0 definition was erroneous given that it wasn’t “what’s in the dictionary.” Her frustration was justified. She wasn’t creating her own definition of the word—it is shared by legions of people, especially educated ones, across our nation.
    No, Leftist ideologues created their own definition of the term for entirely tendentious purposes and she parrots it.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The author, John McWhorter, says:

    If I had it my way—which I won’t—we would allow that racism now refers to a societal state, and revive prejudice to refer to attitudinal bias. Prejudiced was once, after all, the word of choice for racist bias.
    Now that studies indicate there is no systemic racism in law enforcement, McWhorter wants to change the definition of racism so it actually means systemic racism in society. That way, he can ignore the studies.

    "...One did not have to be very bright to realize how little one could do to change one’s situation; one did not have to be abnormally sensitive to be worn down to a cutting edge by the incessant and gratuitous humiliation and danger one encountered every working day, all day long. The humiliation did not apply merely to working days, or workers; I was thirteen and was crossing Fifth Avenue on my way to the Forty-second Street library, and the cop in the middle of the street muttered as I passed him, “Why don’t you $#@!s stay uptown where you belong?” When I was ten, and didn’t look, certainly, any older, two policemen amused themselves with me by frisking me, making comic (and terrifying) speculations concerning my ancestry and probable sexual prowess, and, for good measure, leaving me flat on my back in one of Harlem’s empty lots. Just before and then during the Second World War, many of my friends fled into the service, all to be changed there, and rarely for the better, many to be ruined, and many to die. Others fled to other states and cities—that is, to other ghettos. Some went on wine or whiskey or the needle, and are still on it. And others, like me, fled into the church." James Baldwin

    Basically, they want the definition to correspond to their own poppy$#@! theories. They insist that you acknowledge their premises.

    Egalitarian delusions are at the root of it all. Outcomes cannot be equalized so the progressive left has been more or less forced to interpret this as evidence that institutional racism is alive and well. The only alternative is to reconsider their ideals. We know they won't do that.

    Racism isn't the first word that certain groups have attempted to redefine. They can call people racist all they want, but it doesn't mean they actually are.

    I grew up with a 100% racist and bigoted father, I know what it is.

    Strictly speaking, racism is an ideology.

    Yes it does, it need to go back to color of skin and nothing else. But if they are an evil person I don't have to like them.

    Why not?

    Liberal is no longer Liberal
    Fair is no longer Fair
    So why not change Racism to mean something to support those who want to use skin color to divide us like BLM.
