Comments on: Dr. Sam Francis on the origins of the words “racist” and “racism” http://cofcc.org/2012/07/dr-sam-francis-on-the-origins-of-the-words-racist-and-racism/ The no longer silent majority.

Words are weapons and tools and the antiwhite corruption of "racism" is a case in point.. The meanings of words vacillate through the years according to pop attitudes. There's even the fallacy of etymology to think that a word always has the same definition it had in its origin. But of course definitions do change. However, the use of the term by childish namecallers to stifle discussion can be used to refute them. I believe the best tactic is to respond with the likely truth that 1) the namecaller is displaying infantile behavior 2) the namecalling is intended as a value judgement to discredit, not shed light 2) the namecalling is irrelevant to any claim at hand 3) the namecaller is setting up a smokescreen rather than defending his own position 4) he might instead be only interested in stopping further discussion 5) he's showing his limited vocabulary and/or IQ in dealing with a complex matter. Regarding the childishness of the namecalling, you might also appeal to psychology and inquire into when during his childhood was he was trained to verbally abuse people with namecalling as a way to deal with reality, and whom did he learn it from? his parents? peers? leftist professors? Has he sought assistance for his disorder? I repeat Dr. Francis: ““Racism”, therefore, is a term originating on the left, and has been so defined and loaded with meanings the left wants it to have that it cannot now be used by the supporters of white racial consciousness for any constructive purpose.”

Words are weapons and tools and the antiwhite corruption of “racism” is a case in point.. The meanings of words vacillate through the years according to pop attitudes. There’s even the fallacy of etymology to think that a word always has the same definition it had in its origin. But of course definitions do change.

I often ask people to prove it. I admit to being well aware of who I am and where I come from and for them using a pejorative from their own white guilt is clearly an implanted idea through public indoctrination. How is it that "Racism" or "Racist" is only a white association when common knowledge is contrary to THE FACTS that ANYONE or group is or can be likewise racially aware and not be "Racist"?
