It’s NOT racism. Liberals redefined racism so that it’s impossible to be racist against white people. It might be bigoted and racially motivated or discriminatory but it is absolutely not racism.
What’s scary is how they see nothing wrong with that.
I think this is the correct strategy moving forward. Non-whites don’t even flinch when you accuse them of racism. Leftists thrive on double standards, so they don’t care if you call them “the real racists”. We need to make white peoples understand that “racist” is a specifically anti-white slur. Whatever it may have meant in the past, it is now used exclusively to demonize and destroy healthy natural in-group biases among whites.
The older generations are too far gone. They will never accept this unpleasant reality. But current and future youth will have grown up in a world where the leftist redefinition of “racist” is the only one that applies to our observable reality.
I always think of this image when it comes to that. It's simply not a useful thing to worry about "racism" especially when it was not a relevant concept until about 1960.
So if racism is something only White people do and also something all Whites do all the time, then what do you suppose they mean when they call themselves "anti-racist"?
Around when did the “you can’t be racist against whites” or the oppressor nonsense come about? Did it start at colleges? Growing up I knew the standard definition of racism
I’ve tried looking into that but haven’t had much luck. It’s a “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia” kind of thing where it seems racism was ALWAYS the same as “institutional racism.” But I first encountered it around 2015 when I commented on Facebook that anti-white post was racist. Some dipshits (super liberal friends of a friend) educated me on its true meaning. Even then they insisted that it’s always had their definition. I was simply ignorant of what the word meant. Even though I stopped using Facebook in 2018, and keep in touch with that friend, I’m leery of him since I know the company he keeps.
Yea the first time I heard the “racism is power plus privilege” nonsense was around 2015. Makes no sense because if I’m a slave on a plantation and hate white people, the fact that I have zero authority doesn’t stop me from hating or being racist towards the group.
That was some of the most mental gymnastics and dishonesty I have ever heard of. The concept of racism is very simple and people just created imaginary dragons just so they could slay them and be the hero.
Academic writing in the 70s 80s is where it started. As the "prejudice plus power" and as Marxists always do, they took a common word with connotation. Said "were using this in a very specific denotation for academic purposes. We absolutely do NOT encourage the use of this definition all the time wink wink"
Its a common Marxist trick, see exploitation or feminism. Common in the social sciences since they tend to just reuse words for the concepts they make up as opposed to mathematics or physics were they'll make up a new word. It's motte and Bailey writ large.

The irony that "racist" is the closest you can get to calling a white person nigger

I think I first became aware of the power+privilege formulas was that "Dear White People" movie.
The "progressive stack" was the tool used to destabilize the occupy wallstreet protests back in 2010. It was floating around academia prior to that.
The OWS was doing that all by themselves.

Thanks. No surprise it goes back further than I thought
I have re-defined murder to not include liberals. Thus when liberals get a bullet to the head it's "carbon emissions reduction" not murder.
