A writer of an NBC news opinion article came up with a new definition of racism, saying

Quote:
Racism is a mechanism of maintaining an imbalance of power -- making it literally impossible, by definition, to be racist against white people, or to tell a racist joke about a white person.
And the actual definition
n The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

n Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

The writer brings up Sarah Jeong, the newly hired NYT writer whose twitter feed was found to contain numerous racist tweets against white people such as, "f**k white women lol" "#cancelwhitepeople" " Dumba— f—ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.” and "f**k the police". He then claims that Jeong was just "making fun" of white people and "One of the great things about being white is that you’ll never have to know what racism feels like (on the receiving end anyway)".

Ahh, yes. You would like us to believe that white people - the majority - the ones that control corporations and hence our government ~ now bear the brunt of racism.


GTFO. No one's buying your white identity politics.

There is nothing new about it.

The left has believed this for decades.

Codified discrimination by the government is directed at whites and more so Asians.

Tosses a strawman and fails to address the topic.

This isn't a new idea. It's been taught in assorted-victims-studies curriculums for years at colleges across the country. Maybe decades.

But we should buy yours?

Racism is racism regardless of the source or the target.

Opinions are like, well, you know.

The opinions of the racist idiots at NBC are of no concern to me.

When you're losing the game, just change the rules. That's how the leftists roll. Revisionist history and now changing the definition of words to fit their narrative.
