I agree with you that the over-use of the word racist means that only those who actually care about all those = sign stickers and all that crap actually care about the label now. In other words people who are being racist through the whole "uplifting" idea. Everyone else just starts forming a hard heart and harboring hatred that will outpace fear at some point.
Like anything else, you get accused and tossed the consequences of something long enough by someone, eventually you say screw it, they are the enemy, I'll become so much worse than what they can imagine. In my case that means gathering people together, teaching basic fire-team tactics, and being ready to respond with overwhelming force to even the slightest of perceived threats. Threaten the livelihood of me or mine, we'll simply eliminate that threat.
Civilian world, pistol is the most likely weapon you're going to use or have used against you with at least 2 people trying to assault. Kill at least one of your enemies early, quickly, and ruthlessly. You want everyone else's hand's shaking so that even from 3 or 4 yards away their aim is off a foot or two with each jerk of the trigger. There's only shame in getting shot if you still have bullets left. Also for some reason people are way more terrified when you kill someone with a knife rather than a gun. Spend those rounds freely.
Anyway, you do raise an interesting point in another way. In many places white people have never been challenged to have an identity, to question whether to have pride in ourselves and what our ancestors have accomplished, or kowtow to a minority whose greatest accomplishment since the civil rights movement has been the highest incarceration, HIV, abortion, and murder rate. Although it is old white liberals who are ruining our countries with these shutdowns and moves towards communism and oligarchs right now.
Honestly it makes me jealous of China. For everything they may do, anything that threatens their nation or identity is eliminated so swiftly, you wonder sometimes if it was done through time travel lol
It's far more broad than simply racism though as the woke movement also encompasses radical feminism, trans, and most important equity vs. equality. Being a coward vs. standing up for yourself. The labels wouldn't mean anything if people weren't such cowards to fear the purchasing power of a percent of a percent of the population. Look at how that went for trying to pressure chick-fil-a out of business when they simply had balls and said to back off, this is our belief and how we do business. It'll come about when there is a "white community" as there is currently a "black community" Difference is our numbers are overwhelming.
I'd imagine trying to unify that image would lead to warfare in Europe again. I'd say it's worse in the end to be a coward than to be racist. Rather that's a true belief, or the result of ultra-sensitive modern labels.

Racists are offered the freedom to exist and to hold whatever views they like, as long as they don't act upon those views in ways which contravene the law. We can dislike and discourage their existence but we don't interfere in it until such time as they impose their views or their will on others.
There is indeed an element of like behaviour in oppressing those who oppress, just as there is like behaviour in executing those who murder. Society has deemed it necessary to protect the interests of the many over the selfish interests of the few. The law aims to keep society stable and fair, as much as is possible. The practising of race based discrimination is incompatible with that. Divisions along racial or religious lines which are allowed to go unchecked only ever lead to conflict, to violence.
There is no realistic scenario where racial mixing can be undone in the west and hence it is vital that people can coexist. If basic human decency is not enough to ensure that then at the very least those who are decent need to shun and shame those who are not. They cannot be normalised or they will spread their hatred like a cancer.

Freedom to believe in what you want is fine, but it does not give you freedom from consequences. If you are in the minority of people who choose to hate other races, just expect to draw the ire of those same other races.
It's not about woke ideals. It's that people just saw it was a really sh*tty way to treat others for something they have 0 control over which is the color of their skin.
Keep your ideals, treasure them if you must, but realize it does put you in a position of adversary to most and it comes with the consequences you feel you are experiencing now and very likely worse were you to escalate.
That’s not the point. Racism stems from hatred and prejudice and the belief that your race is better than the others, basically eugenics. No ones oppressing racists, it’s just regulations and laws regarding hate crimes or speech to stop the spread of harm. Yes sometimes people are overly sensitive but most of the time it is racism and historic prejudices.

being "racist" is wrong, cause there's only one human race right now. Race is a taxonomic term. according to taxonomy, we're all "homo sapiens". We're all in the same Kingdom, same phylum, same class, same order, same suborder, same infraorder, same family, same subfamily, same tribe and same genus , thus claiming we're different races is by our taxonomic definitions just simply not scientifically correct.
of course you can claim that taxonomy is just our decision to sort animals and plants by certain distinguishing factors. but by pretty much all of those factors we're still part of one race. we're the same Chromosomal race, same Geographical race and same physiological race. though there could be a strong enough argument for morphological differences. yet science decided not to differentiate there. we have decided to differentiate by ethnicity, which is purely cultural or geographical. the simple reason is this:
Racism describes a dangerous nonscientific ideology that has not much to do with "biological race". it typically makes the case that humans are devided in different races that can be stratified in a hirachy and it's way to easy to build a case for legitimization of the rulership of the supposed "superior" race in the hirarchy to rule over the "inferior" ones. of course those stratifications are complete normative bullshit and have no descriptive scientifical value.
of course it's not bad to recognize that we are not all the same and that certain ethnicities have morphological features that might be enough to call them a different race biologically. but we have made so much negative experience with dangerous ideologies that missues this, that we decided to avoid that and that's what i close my case for "racism being bad" with.Honestly sometimes he word racist is missused. For instance I am white and I don't owe anyone apologies for my ancestors. I am not going to bend on my knees for something I haven't done. And If I find a privilege I am going to use it. Like anyone would. Would you tie your feet to run at the same pace someone on a manual wheelchair goes? I bet you won't.
I have my fair share of hardships I had to endure my entire life. I didn't grew up on a rich environment. My great grandfather's both died working on a mine. My grandfather had to work on multiple jobs until he was able to save a bit and build a small business. I was born with a condition that affects my organs and I was not able to do sports at the same pace that others did. I was beaten the crap out due to that for over a decade. I had to save and pay for getting through university and also for my medical treatments. Sure we can all talk about victimhood and privileges and all that stuff. But I am not going to apologize for the small privileges I can get for being born white. I am proud of having been born white just like others are of their race/skin color. This is not racist in any way.
If you want privileges earn them I am not going to be the one saying no to mine though. And also not going to be the one discarding you from a job interview for your race or origins. What else do people want?Talk about overused words? "Woke" ? And racism itself? Please. Racism is a very misused term currently because people don't know what it means.
"Racism" is the belief that a particular race is superior (measurably and inherently) to all other races.
"Racists" are those demonstrate and harbor prejudice against those races they believe to be inferior. These actions can be anything from mild to extreme.
So yes, you're "free to be a racist" and you're free to believe that your race is superior to all others. What I don't understand is why you think being ostracized or alienated by every other race that is not your own is "oppressing you" or somehow limiting your freedom?
I think of it as someone being my intellectual enemy, and it's always a challenge to love your enemies. I don't dislike someone because they say "I love being a white skinned person, or a brown skinned, or black skinned," or whatever skinned person. The dislike comes in when you add " ... because it means I'm BETTER than you." Hopefully you see the difference.Here's something they can be proud of. Bringing class wherever they go.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/DpWNUz3P0I0Leeches and parasites... bringing the best that Africa has to offer... to a neighborhood, or ghetto, near you.
I think some of this stuff is peculiar to America and as non Americans, we just don't understand it.
Some of this is perculiar to bring black in America.
And some of it is perceived historical abuses that have not been reconciled.
Unfortunately, in our connected world, America is exporting this local matter around the world and it makes less sense in other cultures although groups have been quick to monetize it.Nothing really. As long as you don't get out of your way to hurt those who you don't like or deem somewhat inferior to you.
Today racism? A lovely woke point card that will get you far for institutions and media are too fearful of backlash to call bullshit even when it's getting spread all over their faces.A racist at his or her core has a heart full of hatred and bitterness towards a person just because of their race and ethnicity.
Having hate in your heart towards people just because they don't look like you is very evil and of the Devil.I think that most people are racist, even many liberals who virtue signal about it. It's natural to prefer to be around people who are more genetically similar to yourself, and I don't believe that it's only about skin colour but also shared history.
Racism is a word used only really on white people, but most other races of people are much more ethnocentric and have much stronger in-group preferences than most white people, and that's encouraged.jaja what does being a racist entail for you exactly?
Smart people take historical context into account. Maybe you’ll get there.
These days, NOTHING
it's all tagged as PREFERNCE
Let's all normalize racism right?- u
Because freedom to do what u want is not somthing anyone practices if we did u would live in a lawless land which I imagin u don't
The far rigt fake news keeps trying to brainwash people into thinking everything is called racist so they get mulish about racism being called racist. This question just echoes that trollish bullshit.
White AND black can be racists. There are more black people that are racists.
It is wrong to make somebody hire a person who is not qualified for the position as long as he had the right skin color.
The easiest way to remember and make sense of it is to look at the context instead of the definition. Nothing is racist if you're not white. Everything is racist if you are. So therefore, "racist" means "white", and "antiracist" means "anti-white".
Rodney King, the KKK, the African slave trade, the Nazis... Were you taught any of this in school? Look them up and ask this question again.
Well on the internet I get called racist all the time so I actually became racist and am proud of it
Because usually it's an excuse to treat people differently or poorly.
I was once called racist for having a white girlfriend lmfao i honestly don't care but people like them are the ones who're making this whole end racism thing a joke.
