My only point was that spreading inaccurate information regarding race doesn't necessarily make someone racist. I was making a point about identity politics. If you don't feel like this applies to your situation, cool. I was making a very minor point, but you seem to be very interested in going back and forth with people who do no completely concede to your view.
So yea, good luck with that.
Your point does apply to identity politics, in a major..not minor, way. Normalizing propaganda is the underlying rationalization for identity politics, having created that dynamic with misleading, inadequate, or inaccurate support..the manufacturers of those identity politics then lay the blame -for- identity politics on those who oppose their racist ideology.
Levying charges of reverse racism, discrimination, abrogation of rights, denial of pride, stigmatization, and a loss of esteem.
It's the social equivalent of the economic policy of exploding a deficit, blaming the opposition for having done so, and then pleading for fiscal responsibility through the destruction of the safety net. Even in that effort, the same identity politics and racial myths are heavily employed.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
