The problem with this discussion, every time, is that we only ever analyze language for its effect on white racists. (1/x)

I have a very very very very very good reason for centering white people in this discussion. It is because they have the guns.

But you understand why "you should be more afraid of racists" is a tough sell, no? Why not make the argument as the tough sell it is?

It's a tough sell, sure. But that was exactly the argument I was trying to make with this thread.

Basically: "Want white people to be much much much worse? Make the 'racist' label unconditional, and they will get much much much worse."

I just fear that most people who make this argument don't realize they're asking for a meaningful sacrifice in exchange for a counterfactual

I wish white liberals would say "I get it, but please cool it because..." rather than, "Your language is bad tactics, stop it."

I thought that's exactly what I was saying in this thread!
