The change went relatively unnoticed at the time, but recently drew attention on social media.<\/p>\n<p>On June 1, 2020, the ADL\u2019s definition of racism was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/F4E4p#selection-2461.0-2461.327\">one that most Americans would agree with<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person\u2019s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But by September 2020, after a summer of violence and looting brought about by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, the old definition of racism was removed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.fo\/WnlZm#selection-2131.1-2131.136\">In its place came a much shorter definition<\/a>, more in line with the dictates of far-left critical race theory, that defines racism as the oppression of \u201cpeople of color\u201d by white people.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The marginalization and\/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ADL\u2019s previous definition would have (correctly, in the view of many Americans) defined far-left critical race theory as racist, because it suggests that \u201ca person\u2019s social and moral traits are predetermined\u201d \u2014 that white people are, due to their inborn characteristics, privileged and oppressive.<\/p>\n<p>The new definition adopts that very same argument, making the ADL racist by its own previous definition of the word.<\/p>\n<p>The ADL\u2019s new definition also appears to endorse, or at least not oppose, racial hierarchies in general \u2014 just racial hierarchies that benefit white people. It implies that a racial hierarchy that left white people at a disadvantage would not be racist.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Allum Bokhari is the senior technology correspondent at Breitbart News.&nbsp;He is the author of&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DELETED-Techs-Battle-Movement-Election\/dp\/154605930X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">#DELETED: Big Tech\u2019s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal The Election.<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization that claims to have a non-partisan agenda against hatred and discrimination but is actually a partisan, far-left outfit that regularly smears conservatives, changed its &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1258917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1258917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1258917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1258917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1258917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1258917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1258917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
