A viral video from 2020 caught my eye. It shows many actors saying they take responsibility for laughing at a bad joke about a black person or didn’t do anything when someone said something insulting about a black person. They all apologize on camera for some contravention of imagined racial insult or slur.
Many reactions followed making fun of these shameless clowns who were hired to promise to be virtuous in the future. I wonder if they all went to confession for their sins?
Are we to thank them for emitting the woke pollution into the airwaves?
I’ll bet someone posts one of them using the N word.
What we consider racism has mutated over time in response to changes in science, society, religion and politics.
It once meant different races have inherent characteristics and that some races are superior to others. Later it was just a person being prejudiced or discriminating against another person of a different race. Today people argue that racism is a systemic feature of society implemented by those with the power to do so. It’s now about diversity, equality and inclusiveness.
In other words, racism is whatever people want it to mean. That is a dangerous situation for any definition, especially matters dealing with human behaviour.
