In the novel '1984', George Orwell developed a concept called 'NewSpeak', in which words were eliminated in order to prevent people from expressing a concept easily.
While we have not arrived there yet, I sought to find a word that expressed the false claiming of racism. I could find no such word. Therefore, I wish to coin one: Racialying.
Racialying (noun): 1. The act of falsely claiming a person, or group of people, are racists.
Racialying is an injurious and despicable act, but it is an act that has long been in the Democrat playbook. It has often been called 'playing the race card', but that is too weak a term. The word 'racialying' covers the concept much more powerfully. It is, in short, lying about racism and racist motivations.
The best example of racialying, recently, pertains to the coordinated attack of the MPM (the Ministry of Propaganda Media -- I refuse to call them the Main Stream Media any more), and is directed at Steve Bannon, who was appointed by Donald Trump to be his chief strategist and senior counselor. The racialying is contained in both the editorial and 'news' writings of CNN, NBC, and the New York Times. To wit:
An editorial published in CNN, in which Ruth Ben-Ghiat produces utterly no proof of Bannon's racism or misogyny, other than his stewardship in the Brietbart website:
Bannon is most famous for his stewardship of Breitbart, the right-wing media outlet that many liberal Americans first became aware of when its reporter, Michelle Fields, was manhandled by Trump's then-campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Fields then resigned when her employer tried to discredit her. This episode served as an introduction to one of Breitbart's, and Bannon's, central platforms: the denigration of women. Breitbart News uses misogyny as clickbait, blaring headlines like "There's No Hiring Bias Against Women in Tech: They Just Suck at Interviews.".... Bannon's appointment signals that racism will be a lever of the actions taken by the Trump administration. As a historian of fascism, I can tell you that Breitbart has been serving up a textbook-worthy campaign of racist indoctrination. Don't buy into it further. Otherwise, you're going to develop nearsightedness and a crick in your neck from looking away from things you'd rather not see.
In the editorial produced by the Editorial Board of the New York Times, they say:
To scroll through Breitbart headlines is to come upon a parallel universe where black people do nothing but commit crimes, immigrants rape native-born daughters, and feminists want to castrate all men. Here’s a sample:“Hoist It High and Proud: The Confederate Flag Proclaims a Glorious Heritage” (This headline ran two weeks after a white supremacist massacred nine black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C.)", “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy”, “Gabby Giffords: The Gun Control Movement’s Human Shield”
If you don’t find the headlines alarming, check the reader comments.
And in an alleged "news" article, NBC states:
Under Bannon's leadership, Breitbart espoused anti-Semitic and nationalist views. The site faced regular criticism — including from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton — for its close ties to the "alt right," an online-based counterculture movement associated with white nationalism.
Note the common thread to the editorials: They do not actually quote Steve Bannon, they merely point to headlines and reader's comments. I'm sorry, but headlines are always written to provoke, and no person can ever be held accountable for a readers comments. This is racialying at its very worst. Even worse, the NBC 'news' story insinuates racism, produces no examples, then goes on to detail Democrat and liberal reactions. This is what passes for news at NBC??!?
Let us look at Steve Bannon's actual quotes, then. I looked at the most 'egregious' Bannon statements. I agree wholeheartedly with three of them, and the fourth is an allegation by a divorcing wife:
As far as the alleged quote by a divorcing wife, anyone who has been through a divorce -- or even been witness to one -- knows the first casualty is truth.
The proof offered of Bannon's antisemitism? Only the word of a divorcing wife.
Racialying is a very serious and egregious offense against a person's character. It is time we use this label, and time we fight back against the lies. It is time that the person or group who commits the act of racialying, be held up to scorn, ridicule, and even slander and libel lawsuits.
Enough is enough.
This is actually a point I meant to cover in the editorial. When I send it out to the higher-traffic conservative blogs, I will include that. Mea culpa.
Thanks for the kudos, please crosspost to FB. :)
Oh, and I intend to write a LOT more. :)
Send examples of your work (countdown) with your ping list and FReepmails from your supporters on this site.
Re: the interview - I figured you are a handsome, dashing young man. Was I wrong????
When you land the job, we would all love to be able to tell our friends that we know you;)
Racialying is officially in my lexicon now. I predict it going viral.
I’m also mulling over a counter strategy to the racial slander of calling us white nationalists. What I wrote above is what I’ve come up with so far.
Interesting. I will do that. You never know. :)
You once told me that now — NOW — is the time to work the hardest at sending out memes and editorials. I agreed then; I agree now. Look for a lot of activity from me. :)
I cannot wait to see your piece on this topic. Please ping me!
I don’t know if or when I’ll write about it. That’s not how my mind works, I can’t force these things.
In the end... it's lost all relevance and in fact becomes just another Liberal lie. It no longer bears any direct and absolute association with what racism actually is. It's another glaring example of the very sloppy intellectual process and disingenuous Liberal mentality.
Too bad.
That's not the way to effectively fight racism when it DOES take place.
It reminds me of the old saying: ‘If the only tool you have is a hammer, then all your problems look like nails.’
BUMP to all that hear my silent pleas.
My method is, I open Notepad (actually Textpad), and start by outlining my points. I find, often, that the outline is suffient to get the idea across. I change the outline point to a grammatically-correct sentence or two, look around the net for a few links to back my points, check the format and put it through Word for a grammar- and spell-check, and post.
The whole process often takes less than an hour. This one was done in 75 minutes. The alteration of outline points to proper sentences ensures the brevity that I treasure.
Well written editorial and I look forward to more.
Excellent.
Oh, he’s dangerous, all right.
Or should I say alt-right?
Rackialying...the art of lying about one's bust size.
Is that even a slur?
See: Dykes on Bikes; they named themselves that.
I like racialying very much.
LOL
Thank you Madame!
I will endeavor to use this today in interactions with Leftists attacking Banning.
I know how to do it, but my planned/scheduled writing time is dedicated to my next novel. Outside of that, the only writing I’m doing now is what happens spontaneously.
Excellent, Laz!
