Democrats have so expanded the definition of racism as to make it meaningless

Patricia McCarthy:
It should be clear to all Americans by now that the word the Left loves to spew indiscriminately — racism — often now means nothing, absolutely nothing. That word is meant to be an accusation of the worst order, an epithet that is supposed to destroy all those so charged. But now it's used so frequently that it has no meaning at all. It's like the F-word, overused and merely a sign of one's lack of a wider vocabulary. Like the overused F-word, calling someone a "racist" is a sign of sloppy, uncritical thinking. The word "racist" now means nothing more than any other bit of profanity hurled at those whom lefties have been directed to hate. As the eminent Charles Kesler said a few weeks ago, it is just an all-purpose epithet. Martin Luther King, Jr., someone who knew about real racists, would have been appalled by the cheapening of the term, as much as he would be horrified to learn that one's character no longer counts at all — not one bit. Only skin color, sexual orientation, or some other fabricated victim grouping of which one can claim membership matters, or perhaps having a sufficiently Alinskyite ideology.

President Trump is no racist by any definition of the word, and all those Democrats calling him one know it. The president has a long record of colorblindness in business and in his personal life. The Dems know that as well. They are the people who see skin color first and foremost. They think their abdication to its primacy above all is crucial to their taking back the presidency. In reality, they are the actual racists. But the word no longer has any meaning, and they know it. That is why they have escalated their attacks on Trump as a "white supremacist." How absurdly ridiculous. If there are any white supremacists in the U.S. today, they are small in number and certifiably insane. Everyone knows that, including the Democrats who are tossing that smear around.
...
There is more.

Democrats are conning black votes because they fear losing them after the Trump economy has lifted many of them out of unemployment and dependency.  They are desperate to keep these votes in dependency.  They are using some of the same demagogic tricks they used to use to keep poor whites in line to win elections in the Jom Crow era.  Their indiscriminate use of the "racism" charges is not that different from their old use of the N-word.
