Are you still grieving? You are not alone.
RE: Are you still grieving? You are not alone.

We certainly do and I hope people do, for the sake of progressivism.

My "problem" with it is that you stop there. It's easy to call someone "racist. End of discussion.", what productive comes out of that?

Because of over-use, "racist" is not an argument anymore, it's lost all meaning. Instead of immediately jumping to ad-hominem name-calling, why don't you actually explain your point of view with reasoned, well thought out arguments? It shouldn't be difficult to convince someone of the stupidity of racism, not just because racism is so wrong but because it's a bloody stupid irrational viewpoint. But when your entire argument is "that's racist." you're not adding anything productive to the discussion, or doing anything to convince people why you're right. From what I've read of a couple of your above posts, the only thing I've learned is that something is being called "racist", I'm not seeing any argument of substance going on.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
