I feel like it’s really important to remind everyone of the ACTUAL DEFINITION of racism every once in a while.
Straight from Merriam-Webster dictionary…*ahem* …
a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
Therefore, a racist would believe that one RACE is superior to another RACE and base that simply on, well, RACE.
I don’t believe any one race is superior to another race. Therefore, I am not racist. Coincidentally, President Trump doesn’t believe one race is superior to another race. Therefore, he is not racist either.
We’ve completely lost the actual definition of racism. It’s meaningless now. Those on the left slap that term on anyone who criticizes or disagrees with someone who happens to be a different race. (Unless of course that person is a conservative. Then the rules change.)
Think about this. Liberals constantly act like minorities need to be coddled and “taken care” of, and they totally lose it every time a member of a minority community walks off the liberal thought plantation. Why do they do that? Do they think they’re less capable? Do they believe that they’re so weak that they need to be told WHAT to think? ‘Cause that’s starting to sound a little racist to me.
This has been on my mind, because Don Lemon went on a huge 10-minute rant on how Trump is racist and therefore emboldening us to act like the racists we truly are.
Remember this?
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

Obviously, Trump only called Don Lemon the “dumbest man on television” for one reason: Don Lemon is BLACK!
“Referring to African-Americans as dumb is one of the oldest canards of America’s racist past and present – that black people are of inferior intelligence,” Lemon said.
Like I said before, am I racist against Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell, Joy Behar, Chelsea Handler and Ashley Judd? I’ve called them dumb VARIOUS times in the past. If YA DUMB, YA DUMB.
“The people of color who are attacked by their fellow citizens who feel emboldened to be publicly racist? Because the president is,” Lemon ultimately concluded.
As you can see, Trump would NEVER call a white person dumb. Except…yes he would. The Washington Post actually has an entire post up about the people Trump has called some form of “unintelligent” in the past. They even have a chart. Check it out. As the Washington Post notes, “Before the presidential election, Trump mostly disparaged white people as stupid.” This included Karl Rove, Tim O’Brien and Glenn Beck. Oh. And James Comey and Crazy Mika.
According to the chart, he’s been calling “low I.Q.” Rep. Maxine Waters dumb quite a bit lately. But it’s true so…
The WaPo ultimately notes:
There is one consistent theme to Trump’s use of the term that the preceding paragraph should make obvious: Stupid people are the ones who criticize and oppose him.
Wow! So it’s NOT based on race? Unbelievable! Someone alert Don Lemon. He’s really gonna wanna hear about this!
I’m just gonna leave this here. Consider it a bonus.
