The “Trump is a racist” brouhaha reveals both the Left’s poisonous hatred for the United States and the political weaponry associated with the erroneous “racist” accusation.
“Call me a racist, I don’t care,” President Trump seems to be saying. “Sticks and stones may break my bones,” but words from the four communists of “The Squad” will never hurt me.
Elites versus the People
Enough is enough. We have hit “peak” racist in the 50-plus-year use of this phony pejorative. The rabid liberals, the “Hate America First” crowd that has been with us since the 1960s would not be able to define the word’s exact meaning if hard pressed. Anybody who calls someone else a racist is engaging in vicious political speech and deserves rebuke.
As I’ve written previously, a racist is anyone who opposes what Barack Obama intended as the attempt for a “radical transformation” of the United States into a socialist paradise such as Venezuela or Cuba. We’ve been here before, the Elites versus the People. Remember when Obama called rural Americans, “bitter people clinging to their religion and guns”? The same from Hilary Clinton and her winning campaign message in 2016 of calling Trump supporters, “a basket of deplorables.” Oh, yes, she lost, I do recall.
As for me, don’t call me a racist. I’m only prejudiced against people who despise this country and its limited government ideal as envisioned by the founders in 1776 and 1789. I prefer to be called, “American,” rather than racist. If they can choose their pronouns, then I too can decide how I want to be addressed. The United States did a pretty fair job opposing communism overseas, but not so well at home. President Trump is fighting that battle now challenging “The Squad” of AOC of NYC, Tlaib of Detroit, Omar of Minneapolis, and Pressley of Boston.
Only Democrats are allowed to call people racists and can never be called racists themselves
Only Democrats are allowed to call people racists and can never be called racists themselves, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes who was reprimanded when she made such an insinuation of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. They are all communists, socialists, liberals, but nobody is a racist just because the Left says they are. It’s not even a real word. According to Wikipedia, the Communist Leon Trotsky was the first in 1930 to use the “racist” epithet, and most agree it is applied to others by socialists as a “political weapon” used to “create division.”
Paradoxically, the truly dangerous ones are the people who use the word racist, such as Antifa, the socialist, anti-free-speech militia tormenting Portland, Oregon, for example.
There is a reason the Left throws around the word racist with ease, because they are the people who see life through the prism of race. There is a real word for this: racialist! The Left are racialists. They want to slice us into “hyphenated Americans” to be pandered to and exploited to consolidate their political power. There is an important distinction, though, between being called a racist and being a racialist.
Here’s the Racialist Democrat Party’s Mantra. Anybody who believes in Common Sense: Racist. Anybody who supports American exceptionalism: Racist. Anybody who wants the border secured: Racist. Anybody who denies man-made climate change: Racist. Anybody who wants only U.S. citizens to vote in American elections: Racist. Anybody who thinks it is insane to pay for the health insurance of illegal aliens as every Democratic contender for the presidency in 2020 asserts: Racist. The Left needs to stop calling everyone a racist who doesn’t agree with their pandering “Progressive” prescription for America.

The Left’s racial politics destabilizes American cities and makes them nearly unlivable
On the other hand, the Racialist Left wants carte blanche to be able to see life as one of good races and bad. For example, “Black Power” and “La Raza,” racial pride among blacks and Hispanics is good, but white culture or traditional American patriotic values represented by the American Flag are prohibited. The Left’s racial politics destabilizes American cities and makes them nearly unlivable, which is why conservatives oppose their policies on the national level.
More concerning is a racialism that goes completely off the tracks, too, leading to race hatred and genocide, and belief in racial superiority, such as Nazi Germany’s racial war on the Jews. The right to swing ought to end before hitting someone else’s nose.
Americans are tired of being called racists and the Left’s politicization of nearly every aspect of life in the United States, from where to go to the bathroom to “if you like your doctor, you can keep him,” which amazingly Joe Biden laughingly said on the campaign trail on Monday.
Stop and consider for a moment that there are an estimated 36 million Mexican Americans living in the United States, about 10 percent of the overall population. See how they dominate politics in California and on the Texas border to make those places locked-down Democratic Party strongholds.
As I said before, if you can choose your pronoun, don’t call me racist, American, simply, will do
Anecdotally, more than 62,000 fans packed Soldier Field in Chicago on July 7 to watch the Gold Cup soccer championship between Mexico and the United States. Commentators estimated that 85 percent of the crowd was there rooting for Mexico. Are you telling me that 50,000 Mexicans snuck through the border on Sunday and headed north to support their national team when nobody was looking? No, these fans were Mexicans living here in the United States, probably many of them American citizens, but they are still rooting for Mexico. How ironic that the United States fought a war with Mexico from 1846 to 1848 to win Texas and California.
The only thing worse than being called a racist, deplorable bitter-clinger is the witting or un-witting liberal elitist that labels you one. Racist is a politically-motivated word that means nothing. As I said before, if you can choose your pronoun, don’t call me racist, American, simply, will do.
