The problem with "the left are the real racists" argument isn't that it's false. It's that it's not an effective argument for persuading people on either side.

For leftists: a) They don't give a shit about being hypocrites. You'll never shame a leftist into intellectual honesty. Pointing out their hypocrisy can convert their audience, but you'll never convince a leftist that their beliefs and policies are racist, even though they are. b) They really don't give a shit about racism anyway. For them it's just a grift and/or a way to grab more power. They don't give a shit about groups they use as props for their agenda. Just ask one of the black guys that post here how the left treats them when they contradict their talking points.

For right wingers: We know accusations of racism are bludgeons to silence others and a dirty trick to gain power. We don't take them seriously for that reason. We also know that the only racism in this country is against whites. Other groups are in the predicaments they're in because of their own shitty behavior. They do just fine when they act like civilized human beings.
