    Michael Shermer Retweeted David Gorski, MD, PhD

    The burden of proof is on the accuser of racism @gorskon How can one prove one is NOT racist beyond denial? In Kendi's model denial = guilt. Harry/Meghan have refused to provide any evidence whatsoever. Hitch: "what can be asserted w/out evidence can be dismissed w/out evidence"https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1370154131206369281 …

    Replying to @michaelshermer
    Oh, please. This is a not inappropriate response to a specific denial. And he’s right. Most racists deny that they’re racist, just as most antivaxxers deny they’re antivax. This is so obvious that jokes about it were old when I was a kid. 🙄

        Why does this bother you so much? The @RoyalFamily as an institution is racist af. The examples are numerous.

        The Royal Family isn’t the point. The style of “argument” is the point.

        Replying to @michaelshermer @gorskon

        Racism isn’t something you “are” or “aren’t” based on whether you say A or B. These quasi-logical games don’t apply. Racism is a social taboo that everyone defines in such a way to exempt their personal views. This is observed behavior.

        In this case Michael, it's a suspiciously "white man's" burden.

        Most non racist also deny they are racist as well. There is no logic here.

        Actually, I’m pretty sure in the new Anti-racist® pseudo religion, the only way for a white person to not be racist, is to admit that they are racist. Or...something like that. Just don’t question it.

        What we are naturally inclined to believe or disbelieve, before we actually know something for certain, says a lot about us.
