The redefinition of the word ‘racist’ freaks me out. We went through centuries of rationalizing it any way we could to finally figure out that ‘discrimination based on race’ was a horrible thing regardless of justification. But redefinition is just another justification! 1/

The "woke" definition of racism focuses on power dynamics instead of simple discrimination. The implication is that the race that holds "the power" is the only race that can be racist. The woke version therefore allows for facially discriminatory policy to pass muster.

Take all the labels out. Black communities are underserved. Does it make sense to say it's racist to invest more in bring them to equal footing via programs that help them in particular? "Power dynamics" is an idea that is very much in the Rights mind.

The Kendi "anti racism" framework seems to me to be an intentional effort to justify public policy that is explicitly racially discriminatory in favor of blacks.

Lol you think white people experience discrimination? You've never achieved anything because you're unremarkable, my dude. Not because anyone is discriminating against you. J. fucking Christ

Being white doesn't make one immune to racial discrimination. The rest is ad hom.

I was once booted from an internet chatroom because I was white. I hadn't said a single word. Would you consider this racial discrimination?
