I call him Barry out of general disrespect for any “typical liberal person” - same as I use “Hitlery” and “Hildy”.

What we’re seeing here is the use of the rhetorical “rifle butt to the head” of the cry of “racist”.

Whitey, you’re supposed to shut up and pay up, and don’t you dare criticize a “person of color”.

That’s what this is about.

Went to the site and found out that since it’s directed at a black man in a demeaning way, it’s racist.

Obviously, if the “Barry” in question weren’t black, the word wouldn’t be racist, but anything demeaning or derogatory directed at a black man is racist (including any and all criticism, obviously).
