Dems, Media Turned ‘Racism’ Into A Joke But Get Mad People Mock It

The article discusses a recent controversy involving private text messages from members of Young Republicans groups across multiple states, which contained racist and hateful remarks targeting Black people, LGBTQ individuals, Democrats, and others. The messages included offensive slurs, violent fantasies, and praise for slavery supporters. however,the piece argues that the individuals involved are obscure figures,not public officials,and that their crude private conversations,while objectionable,do not warrant the intense outrage from Democrats and the media. The author suggests that accusations of racism have been overused to the point of trivialization, turning the term into a joke and leading to private mockery. Ultimately, the article critiques how the media and political opponents exploit such incidents to stigmatize conservatives, while the real impact on society or policy is minimal.

Of all the matters that are urgent to the average person right now, “Young Republicans” making racist jokes in private must rank somewhere between, “What would be good for breakfast two weeks from now?” and, “Does Taylor Swift fart in front of Travis?” And those things are still about 280 notches below “Was the dress blue and black or white and gold?”

Politico blew the lid off a real scandal on Tuesday when it published a trove of text messages between Young Republicans group members in multiple states. The missives included various slurs referring to blacks, gays, and Democrats. “They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers,” the article read. “They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.”

To get a true sense of how deadly serious this is, consider the names associated with this story include “Bobby Walker,” “Peter Giunta” and “Anne KayKaty.” If those don’t ring any bells, what about, “Joe Maligno” or “Rachel Hope?”

No? Weird. What about “William Hendrix?” Nothing?

Yeah, nobody knows these people. These aren’t congressmen, governors, or Senate-confirmed cabinet members. They’re not White House officials. They’re nobodies who entertained themselves in private with banter they’d never exhibit publicly. Because the same way you might laugh at an explicitly racist line at a stand-up comedy show, but not in the middle of a grocery store, things take on a different meaning in a different context. That doesn’t make it all swell to say crude things in private among friends. But doing so isn’t going to move markets or lower insurance premiums either.

If there’s a wonder, though, what might drive some random individuals to clown about racism and other bigotries, maybe, just maybe, it’s because those same individuals are routinely, baselessly called racists and bigots by the very same people who are faking outrage over this silly story.

It used to be a shocking claim that a person was a racist, because real racism is abhorrent. Now, to call someone a racist conjures up images of that obviously unwell man on an airplane screaming the n-word while wearing a Burger King crown. The whole concept has been reduced to a stupid meme thanks to — you guessed it — Democrats and the grotesque news media. It turns out that after years of hysterically accusing their opposition of “white supremacy,” it’s just kind of a joke in itself now.
