Necessity is the mother of invention, for better or for worse
This will sound
What with all the liberal nutbags diluting the word racism, screeching and screaming and misusing the word anytime they see something they mildly disagree with. Unfortunately they are taking away its true meaning. They are taking away the word's power, which is NOT AT ALL like taking away the power of a derogatory word like the n-word (don't look at me like that, I'm not black.)
A word like racism is supposed to call out true injustice wherever it lurks. A word like racism is supposed to ___
With this word being thrown around like cheap confetti, it essentially renders it meaningless. You have to pay for your food. That’s racism! You have to have the minimum qualifications and skills to be hired for a job. That’s racism! Teenagers should not be having sex, but if they do, at least use birth control so these juveniles with bad judgment don’t reproduce. That's racism! Stop selling drugs. That's racism! Study for your SATs. That's racism!
No doubt, real racism does truly exist. Job discrimination, education discrimination, apathy and ignorance from law enforcement. Inaction, frozenness, carelessness.
But those are not the worst crimes that black people fall prey to. The world is a sick, filthy, vile, nasty place. And there are evils terrors far worse than those trivial petty irritations that befall people of color from time to time. Lynching is but one. Hate crimes.
I'm not even going to bother writing them all down. I think 99.999% of the people reading this know exactly all the things I am talking about.
We need a word beyond just "racism" to describe things that are actual crimes against blacks and other people of color. "R-A-C-I-S-M," like I said, is so watered down that it does not mean much anymore. So I truly feel that it does not really apply to many situations in which an actual violation of human rights has occurred.
There are actual violations of someone's right to bodily autonomy.
"Racism" is not accurate enough. It is not serious enough. It does not truly convey the sick, soulless, depravity of any moral fiber that would have to be prerequisite to committing those atrocious acts. These are crimes against humanity, crimes against nature.
