Don't they realize using the racist label for things that are clearly not does more harm than good? They will soon become irrelevant.

Never ones to miss out on a chance to scream “Raaaaaacism!” the ACLU tweeted Thursday that President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Obama-era Paris Agreement on climate change is a “massive step back for racial justice.”

So you're saying the ACLU is racist for advocating on behalf of alt-right protesters in Portland. Trump supporters have no ideological consistency, literally anyone who takes an advocacy counter to Trump is attacked.

So, the logic is basically because poorer people are less able to cope with climate change and that more people of color are poor... this means the move was racist?

Hmm....

Go to New Orleans and tell your little story, I'm sure they would all be amused. After all, the 1500+ mostly African Americans who died in Katrina perished because "they couldn't swim."

That seems to be the go to argument with all SJW. "You don't agree with me therefore, you are racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe, transphobe, etc."

This fallacious lack of an argument will be the death of the Far Leftist movement, however, identity politics and victimhood Olympics are so entrenched in our society that ridding the country of them won't be an easy fix.

So true.

"Climate change doesn't affect us all equally."

How does one retort to something that is so stupidly bizarre?

It sounds like a New York Times headline...

for the ACLU, a day without accusing someone or something of 'racism' is a day without sunshine.

I like many of the things the ACLU does but I don't understand this.......if it even actually came from them.
