Calling names is all the left has.
People who resort to that just want to end the argument, not win it.
The purpose in calling someone racist is NOT to win the argument, but to shut the opposition up.
A person uses such allegations when they run out of talkingpoints and don’t know how else to advance their position in an argument. They resort to name-calling.
I love that no one has learned that the Trump voters aren't racist, which is what you'd expect from this type of article, they are congratulating themselves for realizing that even though we are racist, if they start out by calling us that, we will never be able to learn that we are, because we're so sensitive.
Hi, I'm TinyOwl, and the people with liberalism say I have racism.
Leftists don’t always call people racists. They cry a third of the time and throw F bombs another third of the time
Frankly, I no longer give a tinker's damn, and there are millions more of the same opinion.
Sticks and stones, etc.
The lefties are just figuring this out now? They aren't the geniuses that they claim to be. This is a lesson that should have been learned in grade school.
Neither does sexist, homophobe, xenophobe, nativist...
Stupid. Its the same thing they did when anyone disagreed with Obama was qualified them as racist.
Whether you say your words are racists or you are a racist makes no difference to any of us. You can take the "people first" double speak and stick it. I am glad she spent some time with real people, perhaps a few more years and she might start making some sense.
They don’t want to win an argument
They want to virtue signal to everyone that THEY’RE not a racist.
They call Donald Trump a nazi (anyone who not agree with them) when George Soros who owns the democrat party is a nazi sympathizer who has stated on 60 minutes that he turned in over 100 people to the nazi’s just so he could sell their belongings.
What happens when something that is “racist” also happens to be true? The culture says that we are then to ignore/avoid the truth. The race card has been played so often because it is so effective.
So all those words in the article boil down to is, don’t insult people by calling them racists, insult them by calling what they’re doing or saying as racist.
They avoid like the plague examining why people (including themselves, though they deny it) come to have a judgment that on the average there are differences among races.
The alt right in expressing that reality concerning races gets immediately tarred as racists, even though they are simply being race realists.
98% of Americans are just like Don Rickles, who is not a racist.
Nowadays its a signal that you have won the argument.
The author’s bias is obvious in the statement “don’t call them and their views deplorable, even if you think they are”.
They’d be better off reading Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.
Gaaak....
That article reads like it was written by a progressive liberal, for consumption by other progressive liberals.
The author of the book it references, spent five long years ‘studying’ normal American people in Louisiana, and yet learned nothing. She came away from the experience still insulated within her protective bubble, disconnected from the woof and warp of everyday America.
As soon as a liberal calls you a racist he has won the argument. In his ind there is nothing more to say by either party. He has identified you as a racist therefore you are not worth talking to as you are hopelessly rational and he is right because he has identified you. Truth is true because a liberal speaks it and for no other necessary reason.
The wonderful thing about the 1st Amendment is that it protects the ability to THINK what you want, BELIEVE what you decide, WORSHIP whoever you want, as long as it does not infringe on anyone else’s individual rights. Thought is not a crime, we are judged on our ACTIONS.
Unfortunately, the law regulating ‘hate crime’ is half way to making ‘thought’ a crime.
Good job LIBS. Way to protect our freedoms and expose the evil!!!! (sarc)
