“The "everything on the Right is white supremacist" will backfire as loudly as the Dylan Mulvaney bit. “When everything is racist, nothing is” applies to WS. Diluting the phrase to meaninglessness may work to keep avowed lefties feeling good about their superiority, but it turns the rest of us off.”
Calling everyone they disagree with “racist” has lost its sting. Used to be, bring called racist was a terrible slur. It could be counted upon to derail any conversation because the accused immediately switched over to defending his good name, abandoning the substance of the matter disagreed upon. But when everything is racist, nothing is racist.
Enter “white supremacism”. Racism on steroids, with a barely concealed whiff of Naziism and the Klan. Just as roughly 60% of the US population has learned to brush off constant accusations of racism, it’ll be even quicker to dismiss the more virulent form.
As an aside: I’m the first to admit that racism exists, for the plain and simple reason that assholes will always walk among us. But at what point does constantly telling a person he’s racist become a self-fulfilling prophecy, i.e., it starts to engender negative feelings toward the accusers that weren’t there to begin with? If creating division and hatred is your goal, constantly accusing someone of being something he’s not would be a pretty good way of going about it.
Racism will always exist. It is, unfortunately, an outcome of our tribal wiring.
The gag is that they're trying to make racism a one-way street, to redefine it so that non-whites can definitionally not* be racist, in order to tip the power balance in the direction they choose.
Yes, indeed, "racism" has lost its sting, because we've learned reject the epithet rather than succumbing to it. So, they re-brand.
Yes, they try to make racism a one way street, but that flies in the face of obvious reality. As does the notion that a man can become a woman and vice versa. At some point people say “Enough”. Just ask Anheuser Busch.
Of course it does. A gang of minority kids beating up an old white guy while calling him epithets is obviously racist, but the new narrative is that such crime is born of racial injustice, and therefore must be excused.
Ever see the memes that home intruders are merely trying to feed their families and therefore should not be shot? Same idiocy.
This is great news. All I have to do to virtue signal to others that I'm not a racist is take my shirt off and display my lack of fitness. So I got that going for me...

What really drives me batty is when the Regressive Leftists yammer about “eliminating racism.”
Yeah, and after we eliminate racism we can work on eliminating lying. And stealing. And gossip. And.... 🙄
Leftists have no understanding of human nature. None. 😒
