Again, the attack on language makes it seem like ‘anti-racism’ is against racisms.
It’s not.
It is an essential belief that race is a consideration in everything and everything is about race. That’s why we are bombarded with the claim of ‘systemic racism’ where there are no racist differences systemically (although there may be in practice). So granting belief to anti-racism as if a ‘solution’ to racism, a correction to ‘systemic’ racism, in fact and practice turns people into racists.
And there’s the linguistic inversion common to all wokeness: anti-racism is racist to its core. People who promote anti-racism policies – especially from within public institutions – are imbedding race-based policies and practices right into the system.
That’s the power of taking over the language and making ‘up’ become a different kind of down, ‘black’ just a different shade of white, and ‘anti-racism’ an acceptable practice of racism.
