“It applies if you are denigrating a person of a minority.”

so minorities are the only ones racism applies to?
Yes, of course.

Especially when a majority race seeks to take from them what little they do have, like pride and integrity.

A (totally unintended) perfect description of the white nationalists here, including yourself.

I think the percentage of right wingers who are ignorant racists is quite high.

Of course, they aren't going to say so - look at Mott's posts here. But you're kidding yourself if you don't see that there is a substantial portion of the right in the US who think that most of our problems stem from inferior nonwhites and many of their policy preferences reflect that.

Google "replacement theory" and "white nationalism" for further details.
Exactly.

How perplexing.

There are different variants, including one that is frowning lop-sidedly, but when pasted in this place always reverts to the straight-line mouth. 🧐

""The ‘Great Replacement’ is not a theory, it’s a reality," Kirk wrote in a Feb. 24 Instagram post alongside a screenshot of a Fox News story with the headline: "7.2M illegals entered the U.S. under Biden admin(istration), an amount greater than population of 36 states.""

This is, of course, disgusting.

Being a brain-dead Trumper has nothing to do with "patriotism".

Turning Point is as anti-Christian as it gets. They are fraudulent.

Anyone who thinks that blacks get "preferential treatment" in US society is living in a state of self-delusion.

Anyone who thinks there's "equal treatment" of the "races" in the US is living in a state of self-delusion.
Yet the white nationalists here believe they are THE most persecuted race in America.

If racism is ascribing a negative characteristic to a racial group, there is no logical reason why that group would additionally have to be a minority. 😆

I have aways disagreed (and will always disagree) that 'racism against whites' is impossible. I think the first time I heard that statement was in the 1980's (from a black person). I didn't believe it then and I don ...[text shortened]... very often or has much of an impact. So it is certainly not on a par with racism against minorities.
I've said here that racism against whites is impossible.

Many times.

Mainly because they ARE the majority. And whites throughout history have made it so that everything is set up for them, and against others. How can racism affect those with such a societal advantage?

The "Left" doesn't ask people to believe the illogical. They simply believe that most people should at least learn what racism is, and to shun it. To do otherwise, such as embracing it, is illogical.

And "not having much of an impact" is one step away from being impossible. Do white children ever come home from school crying, and say "I wish I wasn't born white"? No, they do not. Because they have an advantage over those who were not born white in our current society.

"That said, I don't think 'racism against whites' occurs very often or has much of an impact. So it is certainly not on a par with racism against minorities."

You narrowly redeem yourself here.

It that necessary just because you disagree? You lost a notch of respect with that remark.
Oh, he lost my respect a long, long time ago.

How so?

Can you logically argue that?

Look, bonehead, first of all, Mr. Kirk is white. Second of all, his words don't match his actions.

He IS a fraud. I realize you think truth is racist but someone erred in raising you, clearly.
