A major aspect of this discussion was raised, perhaps inadvertently, by the "Reverend" Louis Farrakhan many years ago. He opined that - not a verbatim quote - "An anti-Semite used to be someone who didn't like Jews; now it refers to someone whom Jews don't like."
And so it is with "Racist." It used to refer to someone who "didn't Iike" POC's, but now it basically refers to anyone whom any POC does not Iike. ANYONE can be caIIed a "racist" today; there is basically no defense to the charge.
Any time you say anything bad about any POC, you open yourself up to vitriolic accusations of racism, just as Our BeIoved President is caIIed a misogynist for bad-mouthing Rosie O'DonneII.
When anyone on this board cites facts about BIack crime, iIlegitimacy, drug abuse, academic apathy, disproportionate reliance on public assistance - let alone average IQ - it doesn't matter that they are facts, they are deemed racist by a couple of our correspondents (e.g., IM2). As Ben Shapiro often says, "Facts don't care about your feelings," and in fact, facts don't care about your opinions.
So **** it, pay no attention to the sIanders. They are meaningless.
