RE: Hi, I'm new here, still learning the ropes and have some pertinent questions...
The thing about "racist" you must realize is that it is not just an adjective, but a word that has been weaponized. It is used as a weapon to attack people who disagree. It is primarily employed by leftists against people who do not see things their way.
50 years ago, "racist" did not have much power, but over the decades it became more potent as "political correctness" became incorporated into people's thinking. Currently, it is used indiscriminately to attack others. For example, spitting on the sidewalk makes you "racist" or voting Republican makes you a "racist". Young people have difficulty with "racist" because it has been burned into them and they never experienced how it was before the word became weaponized.
Exactly my point, thank you, what I find oddly interesting, is that from what I have seen over the internet, most people are still sane. Most people with my/your point of view, however, they cannot voice this, because of the risk implied by disagreeing with the regressive left establishment , losing your job, being labeled a racis, sex ofender or other leftist buzzwords.
