Why does it seem like democrats and "progressives" have no idea what the word "racist means?

It seems that if you disagree with them they automatically call you a racist no matter if you are are not.

Update:

@sageandscholar have you never heard a republican called "a gun toting, Bible thumping racist"? Have you never heard tea party people called racist just because they were tea party????

    'Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.'

    This incessant whining (with never a single example to back it up) about supposedly being called racist for no reason is getting very tiresome.

    No I have not heard a tea party member being called racist just because they were tea party - and it seems odd that you still cannot produce an example of it happening.

    I also looked at your questions and answers breifly and found no situation where you had been called a racist.

    So just quit the whining and come up with some real justification for your beliefs and arguments, not a tired old claim for victim status.

    In the media racism has become the new Salem witch trials. It seems they are constantly pointing at anyone that is against them and crying RACIST!! This is very much like what happened in Salem Mass. back in 1692 and 1693 when people would falsely accuse anyone that they didn't like of being a witch. The difference is that back then the accused were hung after a fake trial and today the accused don't get a trial before being ostracized.

    Obama has gained a lot of mileage using the race card. Now, he wants to buy the immoral illegal alien vote by GIVING them citizenship. They need to be deported.

    Boys in Mexcio marry women and have more children with them than they can care for. Most keep their "boyfriends" too. They come and go across our porous southern borders spreading disease.

    Mexicans are still angry at Americans for stealing their land, so they send their losers north to re-inhabit their lost territories. Washington retaliates by sending them our jobs. Now Obama wants to, literally, give away the farm. His immigration policies reflect just that.

    Most Mexican immigrants are failures in their home countries, because they are lazy and look for the easy way. Their homelands are filled with factory jobs that had once been held by Americans on US soil. They enter the US illegally, because entering the US legally requires some effort and they want the easy way. They don't value education and, consequently, neither do their children. Many look to crime instead of work that requires education and training. After all. they're looking for the easy way.

    Now Obama wants to pave the easy way for these people by giving them a free ride.

    Jesus, you cons play the race card card way too often.

    Show me one place on here where you are called racist just for disagreeing with a liberal. I'll call racists ( admitted racists ) like tall man and sophie racist because they're racist, not because they disagree with me.

    Someone needs to light your strawman argument on fire.

    Disagreement is one thing, calling his wife wookie, asking how many times he eats KFC per week, asking how much he loves watermelon and grape soda, etc., etc., are in fact racist.

    I was listening to C-Span yesterday

    A black community activist was calling the school board racist for wanting to cut funding to local inner-city schools in Baltimore.

    Source(s): I have to say, the term racist seems to be derogatory now.

    Stick around on the board for a while.....watch for 'the tall man' and 'sophie'. They call themselves racists. We don't have to do it for them.

    Actually, you Republicans have taught us very well lately what the word "racist" means.

    Thanks for crawling out of the woodwork and making yourself easier to identify, my friend.
