You’re a Racist! The word racist is as overused as the word spammer is. It’s used to control and strike fear in people.
I am hearing it thrown around constantly. Ironically it’s usually used by white people towards other white people. It as an extremely offensive word and it should not be used lightly. If someone is a member of the KKK then clearly they are a racist. But people use it to describe people with opposing political opinions. That use of the word is manipulative and is meant to intimidate people into silence. It’s probably the worst thing anyone could call someone.
I cannot wait for the day that using the word racist carries as much weight as using the N word. It’s equal in it’s offense.
