@benshawks08 Defending our freedom of speech isn't about defending only things people say that we like.
But if you can’t identify that statement as racist it gives cover to all the crap that idiot says too.
This reads like "You're either with us or against us".
We know it’s racism even if technically you can’t exactly point to how.
You can't exactly point to how either.
I don't want this country to be shoot first and ask questions later.
Caution is appropriate here.
Critical Race Theory is explicitly "you're with us or against us." From Kendi, "The opposite of “racist” isn’t “not racist.” It is “anti-racist.” What’s the difference? One endorses either the idea of a racial hierarchy as a racist, or racial equality as an antiracist. One either believes problems are rooted in groups of people, as a racist, or locates the roots of problems in power and policies, as an anti-racist. One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of “not racist.” The claim of “not racist” neutrality is a mask for racism. This may seem harsh, but it’s important at the outset that we apply one of the core principles of antiracism, which is to return the word “racist” itself back to its proper usage. “Racist” is not—as Richard Spencer argues—a pejorative. It is not the worst word in the English language; it is not the equivalent of a slur. It is descriptive, and the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it."
So if you're any kind of classical liberal who believes individualism > group identity, sorry bout it. You're a racist unless you buy into every word of the emotional toxic sewage that Kendi and grifters like Robin DeAngelo scribble.
