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.
Thank you sir!
I like that word. I’ll start using it. Let’s start spreading it around.
“the Ministry of Propaganda Media — I refuse to call them the Main Stream Media any more”
I’ve been trying to train myself to refer to them as the “Dept. of Propaganda” since that more accurately reflects what they’ve become. At first I used the word “Ministry” instead of “Department”, but thought it sounded too Canadian or something, lol.
Excellent. I’ll start using this in my daily libtard beatdowns.
see also racialiar: n. Person who uses false claims of racism to dishonestly paint others people or groups as racists.
Yes, that is the correct application of grammar to this new word. :)
Good piece and point but what exactly is racism?
Part of the problem is there is no generally accepted definition of what it is.
Racialying.
Good one!
Maybe...
First of all, we are not a nation, but rather a federation of "united" states. (little countries) The universe of US citizens, represents all skin colors and people from all the nations on the earth.
So exactly what does a US "nationalist" look like?

Liberals seem to think "racist" is the be-all end-all of insults and applies anywhere and everywhere. "You don't like ketchup!? You racist!" or "You prefer Ford over Chevy? Racist!!!" Yes, 99.999999% of their uses of the pejorative "racist" are at least that silly or more so. The only racism I have seen in the last several decades has been coming from the left, basically directed at me, a middle-aged white guy. Liberals will attribute all kinds of traits and beliefs to me based solely on my race. They never seem to connect the dots - that making assumptions based on race (as they do with me) is itself very racist.
Great post!
Further to this, I propose changing the term “Main Stream Media” to “K. K. River Media”. It’s dark enough, polluted enough, & has plenty of odd garbage in it. Some floating, plenty just below the surface.
I always thought that the definition of “Racist” was “A conservative who wins an argument with a liberal”.
The left-wing mainstream media, in shock and anger after failing to get Hillary elected, is trying to turn patriotism into racism by branding Trump supporters "white nationalists." Black, white, red, brown or yellow, we had nothing to do with our skin color, so it's the lying media that is guilty of racism. And good luck with trying to make us feel guilty for being patriotic Americans.

Excellent!
Excellent!

Love it. Nailed it exactly
And obviously I meant Bannon. I shouldn’t post before coffee!
