Racism is the new N-word

Comment:

Why does someone need to be "educated" about what racism is? If somebody is a victim of real racism ( as opposed to the imaginary racial grievance-mongering so common these days), ie. examples of real racism: such as lynching or cross-burning, then you don't need any further "training" on what racism is.

Simply disagreeing on a subject is not evidence of "racism".  Criticizing a member of Congress for doing a poor job is not racism.  Blaming every little thing that happens on race is not going to help anybody with any problem that they may be facing.

The ill-considered charge of racism is nothing more than name-calling.  The late Julian Bond once compared it to the N-word.  So, instead of using the N-word, it is now fashionable among Democrats to use that ugly word 'racism'.  It marginalizes and stigmatizes the target.  Just like the N-word did.  Julian Bond believed it, so it must be true.

Furthermore, AOC seems to think people are uneducated.  However, if you require somebody in authority to tell you what to think, how can you be "educated".  An educated person can think for himself/herself.
