The End of Racism

At last!  The left has officially worn out the epithet "You're a racist!"  Every day, a thousand times, someone is called a racist.  It's a curse that's been over used, over blown, inappropriately applied and now rendered completely meaningless.  It's like "awesome," or one of my favorites,"gnarly," idioms finally cast onto the ash heap of meaningless rhetoric drivel.  And not a moment too soon.  

But what does it mean, in a larger sense, "racist," this neutered epithet?  Have people really rid themselves of all biases pertaining to race?  Not at all.  And, I dare say, nor should they.  People of all races, cultures and nationalities are essentially tribal in their outlook.  They are me. Or non sunt mei - they are not me.  One who is conscious of one's own origins is naturally wary of outsiders; one should be diligently discriminating in that regard. That's not a bad thing in of itself.  It's a natural component of our survival instinct.  Consider that your brain, when confronting a stranger, is making nanosecond evaluations to ensure your survival.  Is he different?  Is he dangerous?  And the decision tree falls away from that point on.  If yes, then appropriate measures are taken.  If no, none are.  If yes, but no, then a different set of possible measures are considered.  This mechanism in the brain happens pretty fast, so most people aren't even consciously aware they're doing it.   But that mid-brain analysis is there to keep you safe. And, it has nothing to do with hate.  

Basic decision tree

It has to do with recognizing differences, and reacting accordingly.  That's called discrimination.  Survival.  The left continually seeks to dehumanize people in any way it can.  Attempting to homogenize us all into a single artificial norm is one way to that end.  But they coat this homogenization with an emotional appeal that's hard to resist.  Aw, poor them.   They deserve better.  Come on over here, we accept you.

And that can be - and certainly is - exceedingly dangerous when applied to our immigration policy.  Some migrants truly are in need, most seek other goals. But to stand up and question the very real consequences of the unchecked influx of immigrants - who are assuredly non sunt mei -  is a rational act, and has nothing whatever to do with hate.  Or racism.  It's just another leftist-progressive con job.

Perhaps if we understand that we're being played by the left with its endless application of labels, like racist, intolerant, homophobic, islamaphobic, and countless others, we may be able to ignore those epithets, and think clearly and rationally about our survival. Nature programmed us this way for a reason.  The left's philosophies - which have never been right - claim we've evolved beyond that primal programming.  

I seriously doubt that.  It's deeply embedded in pure instinct, and denying that will result in a bad end.
