Ideological Bigotry, not racism, is what’s systemic

Patriot Retort:

Some whiny activist demanded Merriam-Webster “redefine” the word “Racist” to reflect the new bizarro world definition that boils down to this: “Only people with power can be racist.”  Personally, I don’t know why Merriam-Webster even bothered. “Racist” and “Racism” lost all meaning years ago.  Probably about the time they decided milk was racist.

This is why I prefer the words “Bigot” and “Bigotry.”

Because when you get right down the ooey-gooey center, it is ideological bigotry, not racism, that is the systemic problem in our society.

The Merriam Webster definition of “bigot” (at least for now) is:

noun – One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
noun – A person who is obstinately and unreasonably wedded to a particular religious or other creed, opinion, practice, or ritual; a person who is illiberally attached to any opinion, system of belief, or party organization; an intolerant dogmatist.

While the overwhelming majority see racism as completely antithetical to the American ideal, this intolerance for anyone who is outside your ideological Tribe has sadly become as American as apple pie.

It is ideological bigotry that compels people to drive someone out of his job because he doesn’t think you should kneel for the national anthem.  They are so completely intolerant of that viewpoint they will force someone out of acceptable society — not because he murdered someone or rapes children — but because he thinks you should stand proudly for the anthem and the flag.

If you actively seek to silence the voices of everyone who holds a different political viewpoint, or voted differently from you, you’re a bigot.

If you spend time on your cable news program laughing and mocking Americans who voted for Trump, guess what?  You’re all bigots too. MORE HERE

  1. If yelling fire in a crowded theater is a crime then so is yelling racist in a crowded country a crime! Calling someone a racist is a hate crime using a hate word and should be banned just like the infamous ‘N’ word now is!!
