Yet again, we see not only the citation of \u201cequity\u201d, but the presumption that racism is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2020\/06\/22\/systemic-oppression-mandatory-allyship-and-the-march-through-the-institutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">systemic<\/a>\u201d.

They consider it proof of racism for not knowing. &#8220;Systemic racism&#8221; is a Motte &amp; Bailey fallacy. They will push the previously noted definition (the Bailey), but when attacked retreat to the false claim that they mean &#8220;racism&#8221; in the old dictionary sense of believing one race is superior to the other (the Motte). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thoughtco.com\/systemic-racism-3026565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Systemic racism&#8221; has an academic definition<\/a>. It&#8217;s the belief that the U.S. was founded as a racist society &amp; that racism is embedded in all social institutions, structures, &amp; social relations. It is presumption that every element of society is &#8220;racist&#8221; and must be &#8220;fundamentally transformed&#8221; and driven by by people who look at Zimbabwe and say &#8220;it&#8217;s a start&#8221;; to oppose &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; requires one to completely overthrow the existing order<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is far more dangerous that you realize. It makes those with &#8220;racism&#8221; (which the Left defines as all &amp; only White people) mentally diseased, or at least carriers of mental disease, thus justifying that state declaring &#8220;racists&#8221; mentally ill or even mandating treatment? Will they &#8220;cure&#8221; the &#8220;disease&#8221; of &#8220;racism&#8221; in this &#8220;public health crisis&#8221; like they cured Winston in &#8220;1984&#8221; or Alex from &#8220;A Clockwork Orange&#8221;?\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, it sounds too crazy now, but then a male using women&#8217;s facilities by declaring their &#8220;gender identity&#8221; was &#8220;woman&#8221; sounded too crazy until it started to become implemented\u2014and it is proclamations like these that will serve as the bedrock for who knows what insanity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16883\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16883\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16883\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/clockwork-orange-alex-ludovico.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/clockwork-orange-alex-ludovico.jpg 680w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/clockwork-orange-alex-ludovico-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured: &#8220;Anti-Racist&#8221; Healthcare.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Systemic Racism&#8221; means that everything is racist and to fight it and be &#8220;anti-racist&#8221; you must completely destroy all elements of society and start at a woke &#8220;year zero&#8221;, and a \u201chealth crisis\u201d is the perfect excuse to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sisolack-racism-public-health-crisis-declaration-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sisolack-racism-public-health-crisis-declaration-small.jpg 498w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sisolack-racism-public-health-crisis-declaration-small-182x300.jpg 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1px) 100vw, 1px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\"><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatblog\"><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalhat\"><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Racism As Health Crisis\"><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"It would make sense health care dealt with actual health issues such as diseases.
