Does anyone even care about being called a racist now? It is so diluted and used as an argument for every illogical position the left has. Want voter ID like every other country in the world? RACIST. Want to reduce welfare because of harmful effects on society? RACIST.
Honestly, I don't even care about being called a racist. Who gives a shit. It is such an overused word it lost its power a long time ago.
Who cares. The point of calling you a racist is to distract you. You will NEVER convince someone calling you a racist to your side. They don't want to be convinced. They are holding an opinion out of hate and our projecting their hate onto you.
The strategy of calling you a racist is to 1) Shame you 2) Distract you. You will be so busy arguing for why you are not racist and trying to virtue signal that you will no longer have energy to work towards the things that actually matter.
So yes, it is important. But, I think the best solution is to just ignore it. Normal people, in time, will look at the MRA and see that anyone calling it racist is fake news.
I agree with you, but unfortunately most times MRA is not called a racist in a place where there is a dialog. It is a news organization or opinion piece. So, MRA groups don't have a platform to rebuttal with "No, you are an asshole". Because it is not a conversation but a monologue.
It is mostly those cases that I am saying don't waste energy thinking about it. Just move on and continue being activist. Don't let some frigine (or even mainstream) articles distract.
