Default racephobe

I just thought of a brilliant word for anti-racists that inverts the situation and puts them on the defensive:

racephobe

it's for people who are scared of the concept of race.

btw it is pronounced race-phobe (two syllables)

Saw this on Majority Rights. Fits in with Witzgalls idea.

On the Terms ‘Racist’ and ‘Racism’

Excerpt:

Quote:
‘Anti-racist’ would be more accurately referred to as ‘anti-race’, as in they rather dysfunctionally do not like the fact (or cannot deal with it) that the various races of man do indeed exist, often as a very large part of what constitutes a people’s ethnicity.

Excerpt:

yes, because being racist has negative connotations amongst normal people, it seems normal to be anti-racist, it's not a pejorative. to say something is anti-racist is to pay it a complement in the minds of most lemmings. anti-racist is a dead-end term.

but denying the reality of race, or trying to avoid discussing it, is a potent accusation. it's very easy to say, when a journalist is dancing around the topic of race to avoid being labeled racist, that his article is racephobic. the word racephobic opens up new avenues of opportunity.

how many articles on haiti can you find that aren't racephobic to some degree?

Umm, most of the articles I've read about Haiti are not racephobic. The need for race to exist is neccessary for liberals to guilt trip us. But for some truly bizarre reason they then try to claim "race is just a social construct!" in order to invoke some sort of fake moral superiority. The two concepts are at odds with each other.

The potential for your term, as I see it, is to highlight this liberal hypocrisy. You would need to be aware of that before you go using it.

If a liberal says "we're all one race, the human race" and you call them a racephobe, they can justify that position just so long as they keep repeating variations on that mantra. But they cannot maintain this position as an "anti-racist" can they? In order to be an "anti-racist", race needs to exist and liberals always end up admitting that in one way or another.


PS. What happened to the post where you called everyone on this forum crap?
