Hilarious! Trump having problems finding artists.

I'm with you here, but I think this is a consequence of some of the far-left crying wolf too much: people ignore claims of legitimate racism, misogyny and ableism because the word has been watered down so much.

Where does it get watered down? It takes some serious mental acrobatics to call Trump anything but. It's not only in his own statements, it's also in the people having endorsed him and the staff he surrounds himself with. Steve Bannon only being the peak of the iceberg compared to the outrageous comments Carl Paladino made recently. Chairman of Trump's campaign in New York, by the way.

I tend to think, the word racist is used a little too often. Not because it is wrong, but because it leaves the rats some space to whiggle out on being called racist. Standard argument, X, Y, Z isn't a race. That's why I mostly use the word bigot. Racism is only the son of bigotry as antisemitism is the son of racism. The mindset is the same. Group X, Y, Z is inferior or dangerous and should be removed from society.

I have a facebook friend who claimed that all criticisms of Obama are rooted in racism.  So, if you criticized his foreign policy, if you criticized his tax policy, if you criticied Obamacare, that was all racism to her.  When that's what you call racism, racism doesn't mean much.

Sitting with your legs too far apart, especially in public, is called manspreading now and it's misogyny.  If that's misogyny, misogyny isn't really all that bad.  

And these are just the conversations that I, a liberal tranny, has had with other liberals.  Can you imagine how much more conservatives have heard or seen those terms over-used?  I mean, trans makes me off-limits for a lot of them to argue with, but if you're one of those evil straight white males, the gloves come right off.
