This attempted redefinition of Racism is a perfect example of all the things that absolutely infuriate me about the non-liberal Left. I am FIRMLY on the Left, and seeing those who are supposedly my political brethren spout off such ill-informed, poorly thought out, and just plain awful ideological ideals just makes me sick. Racism is NOT defined by "whiteness", which is another thing they have been working to redefine to encompass everything bad about humanity (just go on the Internet and do a search for the "meaning of whiteness."
This is also who I absolutely refuse to bend to this new standard of capitalizing black (and sometimes, albeit rarely, white.) This does nothing but emphasize and reinforce tribalistic differences between group when we should instead be doing everything to REDUCE these stupid tribal boundary allegiances, and this actually seems to be a very real, intentional goal of Woke politics; to separate and divide us, rejecting our shared common Humanity in favor of swearing allegiance to tribes based on cosmetic differences, to eliminate all nuance and subtlety of distinction between individuals in favor of allegiance to these cosmetic tribes, and instead to categorize each of us based on our most superficial cosmetic differences and make only skin color into our primary defining trait as people. And this is absolutely morally reprehensible.
These supposed "Liberals" are doing all of the racists work for them. I swear that these Wokists would probably be very much in favor of reviving the One-drop Rule so as to require everyone to carry an Ethnic Identification Card for indicating what kind of cultural celebrations they're allowed to take part in, what kind of Halloween costumes they can wear, whether we're allowed to take yoga classes, etc. We can't allow my young nephew to wear a ninja costume for Halloween, now can we? He's white, so that would be evil cultural appropriation!
