Racism vs Political Racism

We can all agree that racism is bad. Treating people “badly” because of the color of their skin is wrong. But how is it acceptable to exhibit hostile behavior towards people based on the “color of their politics”. How can that be okay by anyone that prides themselves on diversity and open mindedness.

In this woke culture, which seems to embrace censorship, this constant use of both outright and micro aggressions to those that don’t share one’s political ideology has all the same markings as “racism”. It is not hard to see how racism can become accepted as okay by a society, when you observe how easily people adopt similar attitudes towards people that are different from them… politically.

Who decides what is “politically correct”, the same people that 100 years ago thought racism was okay. Those people who think they are entitled to tell others how they should act. Often this “political racism” is taught in the classroom even as historically racism was taught in schools.

Social scientists say most people are born predisposed towards conservative or liberals views. So “woke” behavior borders discriminating against people based on their genes and early childhood… now as far as I can tell discriminating against people who display biological differences is the modern definition of racism…

Maybe these so called “blue” individuals use their hostile attitudes towards “red” people as a means to let out their inner most “racist” thoughts. So time to ask yourself… are you a political racist?
