Why do liberals constantly cry "racism" (wolf) when they do not like what another says???

Correct. The accepted theory in fact is that we are all subconsciously racist; therefore, there does not exist any person who is "not a racist."

I have also thought of this question, and I believe the answer is that liberals or "the left" generally speak out of emotion rather than reason. This could be a result of many things, but it seems to come to an inability to engage with ideas they don't like. As a consequence, they would rather silence people and/or call them silly names. From the liberal, racist may as well mean "anything I don't like." 

For example: "Thomas Sowell is racist" may translate to "I don't like Thomas Sowell, because he is bad."

You’re right, technically not black, but still people of color and African.

Why can't you just address the arguments without looking for an excuse to call someone a c*nt?

The whole point of being on a debate website is to discuss arguments, rather than looking for a chance to abuse people.
I didn’t call anyone a c*nt, and is you paid attention, I did address an argument… 
*sigh*

You're not addressing **his** arguments; I didn't accuse you of not addressing "an argument".

I didn't accuse you of calling anyone a c*nt. I said stop looking for an excuse to call someone one.

So, again but worded differently to help you: why are you not addressing his statistically driven arguments and their conclusions, instead of tone-policing him? Here is one:

"Today, 99 times out of 100 in politics, the word “racist” is used purely for political reasons without any regard to whether something bigoted was actually said"

Why is this the case?

“People of colour” seems a somewhat ambiguous term, all people are of colour, even the white ones.
 
Turks consider themselves to be white.

What I love about these posts, there are  least three or four atheists that are talking about how horrible black people are especially in the United States and one of the mods actually called me the racist because I practice a  European based religion. This is the stupid shit that makes this site so awesome!

You said “the argument”; kinda ambiguous!

I was wasn’t doing that either!

Have you ever discovered the magical set of circumstances that makes a person objectively non-racist?

I have yet to get an answer from a progressive wokester.

The black (and brown, but mostly black) response to the Queen’s death shows/demonstrates how “horrible” black people are. 

Everything is about race, racism, and reparations.

Yes, it's so ambiguous that you were responding to him. That's why you grey-quoted his words and responded to them. 

Truly ambiguous.

You were giving reasons why someone might be called that word.

What you wrote here doesn't address it. Your post talks about why it's okay to call TWS a racist, but you never touch on the main argument from this source.

According to Progressives, people are born racist. You have to recognize your sinful behavior and atone for it. You have to be eternally sorry for being born with it. All your actions and deeds must be as anti-racist as possible, or else you've strayed from the moral path.

Where have I heard that before...

Truly ambiguous.
In post 3, I replied to him, addressed his point - and then had to put up with you telling me that I didn’t multiple times. I don’t even know what argument you’re trying to make here.


You were giving reasons why someone might be called that word.
And? I was making an analogy - you understand what that is?

An analogy that, as yet - you have not bothered to address.

What you wrote here doesn't address it. Your post talks about why it's okay to call TWS a racist, but you never touch on the main argument from this source.
But I did, he specifically asked:

“There are several members of this forum who keep "labeling" me (and others) racists for telling the truth. Two words: psychological projection.”
My answer to that question - directed at him specifically, covers both specific and general behaviour. I answered both points at once.


But I do personally like the irony that you’re trying to police tone instead of making any attempt to respond to the argument I made; in a post that is, essentially, complaining about people policing time instead of responding to the arguments people make.
