 In today's polarized discourse, the word "racism" is hurled like confetti at a parade—ubiquitous, colorful, but ultimately empty. What was once a grave accusation denoting systemic hatred and discrimination has been so overused, falsely applied, and abused by the toxic Left that it has lost all meaning. This isn't an accident; it's a calculated strategy to sow division and consolidate power.As critics warn, labeling everything "racist" renders the term meaningless, cheapening genuine instances of bigotry. Critics echo this, arguing that incessant cries of "racism" have desensitized society, making it harder to address real prejudice when it does occur. The result is a society where legitimate victims are drowned out by opportunistic noise.Consider the litany of false accusations peddled by the Left:* In 2024, Kate Oh, a senior policy counsel at the ACLU, was fired after being accused of using racist language targeting people of color in the workplace. Oh denied the allegations, and a federal judge ruled that the ACLU had illegally terminated her, finding the accusations baseless.* In 2023, Dermisha Pickett, a 33-year-old Cincinnati tenant, was charged with federal crimes for falsely accusing her landlord of racial discrimination under the Fair Housing Act. Pickett fabricated messages claiming the landlord did not want Black tenants, which she reported to authorities.* In February 2021, Smith College concluded an investigation into an incident, initially highlighted in a viral social media post, that alleged racial discrimination against a student while eating lunch in a campus dining hall. The investigation determined no wrongdoing by the staff involved.A more recent example underscores this absurdity: the toxic-Left's meltdown over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans ad campaign. Titled "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans," the innocuous pun on "genes" and "jeans" was twisted into accusations of promoting eugenics, Nazi propaganda, and white supremacy—simply because the actress is white, blonde, and blue-eyed.Critics decried it as evoking Western beauty standards and racism, while backlash highlighted the overreaction as a reason Americans rejected woke politics. This manufactured controversy exemplifies how the Left weaponizes "racism" against anything that doesn't fit their narrative, turning a simple clothing ad into a battlefield for identity grievances.As an aside, Beyonce—who culturally appropriated country music with her contrived “Cowboy Carter” stunt—did an almost identical ad and no one—no one—cried foul. It was only because Sweeney was White that the lunatics came out of the woodwork.On social media, users decry how terms like "microaggression" serve as pretexts for baseless attacks:* Chris Harrison (Former Bachelor Host) was called racist after defending a contestant for attending an antebellum-themed college party years prior, saying people should offer her “a little grace.”* Country singer Morgan Wallen was caught on video drunkenly saying the N-word to a friend outside his home. His friend wasn’t Black.* Joe Rogan was caught on video saying the N-word in historical context during a past podcast episode and was called a racist.* Unfunny late-night show host Jimmy Fallon was featured in an old Saturday Night Live sketch where he did a Chris Rock impression in blackface makeup. Social media lit up with accusations of racism.* The popular singer Adele posted a photo of herself wearing a Jamaican flag bikini and bantu knots to celebrate the Notting Hill Carnival in London. She was accused of cultural appropriation and racism.More social media posts point out, rightfully, that society has tired of racial preferencing and the false sense of entitlement that comes with it. These aren't isolated voices. They're part of a growing “fatigue” associated with having to tolerate the arrogant entitlement of race-baiters lest the accusation of racism be leveled, where disagreement is reframed as hatred, dividing and eroding trust and dialogue.This abuse stems from the toxic-Left's embrace of identity politics, a divisive tool designed not for unity but for political opportunism. By pitting groups against each other—victims versus oppressors (and all Whites, especially White males, are oppressors in their context)—they exploit falsely instilled resentment to maintain control. Identity politics shifts focus from individual merit to group leverage, fueling partisanship and remaking society along racial and gender lines for power. It has evolved from inclusion to division, with surveys showing deepening distrust among racial groups.Targeting racial "communities" has backfired, alienating voters by prioritizing identity over shared issues. This greed for power is evident in staged narratives, like labeling American flags as "blatant racism" or pushing a "black pledge of allegiance" that most Black Americans ignore, all to vilify the White population and specifically conservatives....
