QuoteWhen Everything is Racist, Nothing Is
By John Green
Prior to the second half of the 20th century, racism was a genuine problem in America. However, the civil rights movement of the 1960s focused attention on the issue. The peaceful protests of Martin Luther King provided clarity of message and the moral high ground. We made great progress. Prejudice against people of color became socially unacceptable. It became taboo -- and that was a good thing.
Unfortunately, within a few short years, leftists highjacked the movement. Just as they do with everything, they perverted it. Consistent with their "never let a crisis (or opportunity) go to waste" mentality, they turned a noble societal pursuit into another exercise in the advancement of Marxism.
...
However, the grievance industry has a fatal flaw. Like all words, if overused, the word "racism" becomes meaningless. If everything is racist, nothing is. In the past year, the left has declared that all people with light skin-tones are racist -- and must atone by living in a continual state of apology. Our institutions are systemically racist. Statues must be removed because they originated from "white privilege" -- even those of people who fought against slavery. Buildings must be renamed if they honor anyone who benefited from "white privilege."
