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.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZSV8i2Th0ek\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube\/The Joy Reid Show<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/16\/democrats-and-the-media-turned-racism-into-a-joke-now-theyre-mad-people-privately-mock-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Democrats%20And%20The%20Media%20Turned%20%E2%80%98Racism%E2%80%99%20Into%20A%20Joke.%20Now%20They%E2%80%99re%20Mad%20People%20Privately%20Mock%20It&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/16\/democrats-and-the-media-turned-racism-into-a-joke-now-theyre-mad-people-privately-mock-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Democrats%20And%20The%20Media%20Turned%20%E2%80%98Racism%E2%80%99%20Into%20A%20Joke.%20Now%20They%E2%80%99re%20Mad%20People%20Privately%20Mock%20It&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/16\/democrats-and-the-media-turned-racism-into-a-joke-now-theyre-mad-people-privately-mock-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/16\/democrats-and-the-media-turned-racism-into-a-joke-now-theyre-mad-people-privately-mock-it\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Democrats%20And%20The%20Media%20Turned%20%E2%80%98Racism%E2%80%99%20Into%20A%20Joke.%20Now%20They%E2%80%99re%20Mad%20People%20Privately%20Mock%20It&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/16\/democrats-and-the-media-turned-racism-into-a-joke-now-theyre-mad-people-privately-mock-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

Weird. What about &ldquo;William Hendrix?&rdquo; Nothing?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, nobody knows these people. These aren&rsquo;t congressmen, governors, or Senate-confirmed cabinet members. They&rsquo;re not White House officials. They&rsquo;re nobodies who entertained themselves in private with banter they&rsquo;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&rsquo;t make it all swell to say crude things in private among friends. But doing so isn&rsquo;t going to move markets or lower insurance premiums either.<\/p>\n<p>If there&rsquo;s a wonder, though, what might drive some random individuals to clown about racism and other bigotries, maybe, just maybe, it&rsquo;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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2020\/10\/23\/jetblue-racist-tirade-passenger-n-word-burger-king-crown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wearing a Burger King crown<\/a>.
