CNN’s Lemon: Not Knowing You’re Racist Is ‘The New Racism’

Mediaite ^ | Apr 29, 2014 | Evan McMurry

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"The new racism is being unaware that you are racist.”

What if you know you are racist but don't care? Like so many urban blacks these days. The old 'black can't be racist'.

[Gumdrop]

So, when blacks say they cannot be racists, does that indicate that their ignorance of the fact means they are certainly racist?

[ßuddaßudd]

Those always complaining about race relations are the real racist. . .

CNN’s Lemon: Not Knowing You’re Racist Is ‘The New Racism’

And what group of racist identifying leftist elites will perform the service of identifying the racist who don't know they're racist?

Maybe they can set up criteria similar to the old Nazi criteria for identying Jews. These Little Stalins of the left are dangerous.

[Lazamataz]

Well, color me shocked.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I am ahead of him on this one. I just assumed that my demographics automatically make me a racist. Now that I know that, I’m not one, or at least not as bad a racist as I was when I didn’t know. Problem solved!

[kevkrom]

There is a certain cadre of leftists who are on air or in print simply to be the designated proponent of critical race theory, which teaches that everything is about race, no matter what. There is literally nothing a white person can do that cannot be construed as racist by the CRT talking head.

For example - reading the newspaper is racist (though they'll only pull this out for non-approved newspapers) because they're filled with stories about violence and the medium is black ink on white (ish) paper, ergo, they're subliminally reinforcing the stereotype of black-on-white violence.

That isn't even as stupid as some of the stuff that Lemon, Toure, and their ilk put out on a daily basis.

[fuzzylogic]

It is racist to assume I’m racist because I’m white.

[Axelsrd]

Yeah but, I don’t know what I don’t know. So, where does that put me?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Oh, you’re the worst of them all, and probably shouldn’t be allowed in a decent society.

[Secret Agent Man]

what a bunch of know-it-all hypocrites.

[william clark]

That’s some catch, that Catch-22.

[4rcane]

I’m not sure if its racist. Its not like you hate another race, you just have sexual preference. You like your opposite sex to have a certain look e.g ppl like redheads. Ppl also discriminate when making friends

[MortMan]

So Lemon admits he’s racist, eh?

[cuban leaf]

Technically, it is racial discrimination. You are choosing or, in this case, avoiding someone based on their race.

Progressives consider racial discrimination to be racist. Which is just shorthand for “racial discrimination”.

And when I chose I wife, I chose a female, so I am sexist.

[Ditter]

I was not raised to judge people by their looks, skin color or their wealth or lack of wealth. I have been around a lot of great black people all my life. I try to see past the exterior but I am more cautious of young black men than I used to be. This is entirely due to their thuggish behavior.

[winner3000]

The logic is similar to the logic during the Salem Witch trials. If the accrused drowns, she wasn’t a witch, if she doesn’t, she’s a witch and is burned at the stake. Either way she ends up dead!

If you say you’re a racist, you’re a racist; if you say you are not, that’s proof that you are a racist! Wow! When Savage said that liberalism is a mental illness I thought it was a joke! What sane person thinks that way?

[Amagi]

Face it folks. Racism is here to stay.
Racism is Big Business and/or Big Politics for the elite people who really matter in this nation.
