Does the asinine overuse of the race card remind you about the boy who cried wolf? Has the word “racist” lost its meaning?

Question

Democrats use the race card to try and win arguments. They wield the race card as their secret weapon. Doesn’t it just make them look weak and pathetic? If you don’t want undocumented criminals in your country, you’re a RACIST!

@strawberryapple the left has ran out of ammunition, and 'racist is about the only thing they have now. I had it thrown in my face at work by a Hispanic worker

It didn’t lose its meaning because never truly had any meaning

At no point in history was the color of a skin an issue in of itself

Discrimination, segregation, oppression, all these things had a cultural background.
People that come from a certain place refusing to share resources with people that come from another place

And even at the height of oppression there were minorities that were more than welcome anywhere despite their color because they managed to bridge the ideological gap
And it worked both ways too.

The people who scream racism the loudest are the biggest blockers of any real social blending

Because instead of being busy figuring out other culture’s quirks and sharing our own we’re busy defending ourselves to no end against allegations that we somehow don’t like a color like kindergarten children debating if blue or green is better.

And that’s not to say everyone has good intentions.
Many people don’t
But these people are hatful in nature and could just as easily hate someone from their own race

Look at my profile picture... what would make a sane person do that? Because I got called a Nazi for stuff like not agreeing with the vegan diet or flat earth. Everyone they don't like is a Nazi... a racist... a biggot...

and so on. Yeah that and being called a "racist" has lost it's meaning because liberals just started throwing it as a slur where the label doesn't belong.

Meanwhile it has made a whole lot of people hyper aware of some race realism...

Here in the UK the Socialist ‘counter protestors’ have come to the shocked realisation that calling those Local People who are protesting Illegal Immigrants being housed in local hotels (with little control being excised over them) are not reacting to being called “Racist”, “Fascist”, “Nazi” all of the usual insults, they have no shock value any more, which to them is unsettling. They are used to people responding with anger, instead they are being hit with silence to the most part, derision when they are spoken to usually along the lines of how muck are they being paid to be there, because the Local People know that those Socialist ‘counter protestors’ have been paid to be there as all of the protest signs they use are uniform and professionally made.

Yes, I'm sick of people crying racism as a means of virtue signaling and gaining political points. Doing so is a form of racism and is divisive.

Antisemite is the most overused accusation. It has lost all credibility and meaning. "They hate us because we are Jews" is bullshit.
Hating Israelis and Zionists for their criminal behavior and privileged attitudes has nothing to do with ideological bigotry toward Jews. Even Jews who oppose Israel and Zionism are accused of antisemitism.
And Palestinians are Semitic, but people who want them destroyed are never called antisemites.

Garbage. - "race" does not exist. Wolves are a minor threat. "democrats" or "rebublicans" are irrelevant outside of Amercanmesia.
To make this 'issue' a topic is
- in some way - the pathetic and simplified way of people who never left their home village... to cope with their lack of reality perception.

worldscolide · Answer

its the same with ALL of the ists words. Fascist, Racist, Sexist and so on. All of them have lost their meaning because those that use it absolutely do not know what said words actually mean. Same with homophobia, transphobia, and islamaphobia. Fucking morons the lot of them.

Nobody really pays attention to democrats anymore. Trump and the MAGA party is transforming America back to the powerhouse that it was in the 1960s. All the democrats want to do is yell racist.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

My favorite is when I get called a "racist" and "white supremacist" for saying that statistically countrires that are run by White people are better off then countries that are run by black people. Yet when I ask them to disprove my claim, they can never do it.

But yeah, it's gotten out of control. You can't even say anymore that you find certain countries boring or certain cities ugly without being called a "racist"

Levin · Answer

I feel like it's become that way in the UK, also. Guilt and shame, the means with which to destroy a person and country. If anything, the racism comes from the other side. Plus there's the perpetual victim mentality.

Surely · Answer

It is the best that the democrats can come up with at the moment. Kind of like the “I can’t breathe “ that is over used. First aid teaches you that if you can speak. You are breathing!

The left is discredited on the RACE card all over the world.
