Arbitrarily labeling something “racist” is a sign of intellectual laziness which unfortunately is pervading our university campuses nationwide.

Words and reasoning mean nothing to some people. They are deployed as naked triggers to the susceptible mind.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - 1984

The new J6 tapes prove one thing: the people in charge were trying to start a civil war. Now they are tempting a hot war with Russia. We can’t let them.

It’s not left vs right. It’s corrupt collusion Vs us all.

The only thing I can think of is racist about the lab leak is that NYT and other legacy media, even some independents only point the finger at the Wuhan lab and not additionally at Fauci for funding the gain of function research grant thru a 3rd party to the Wuhan Lab.

I have lived, worked, raised a family, and read the NT Times for all of my adult life in Manhattan.

Then 2020 came, and I dropped The NY Times after 30+ years as a subscriber, including 2 years in Philadelphia. Trust me, they have no idea what you are talking about. I finally got my wife to drop her subscription. With throwback to JFK at The Berlin Wall:

I'm sure the racist trope is getting old. People are tuning it out.

I think war is racist.

I believe the American war in former uKraine against Russia is the worst most vile form of racism.

I believe racism is the core thing that allows folks to dehumanize and kill, and that it is contagious.

The lab leak can't be racist because we gave them the fun ding a linga ling and all the ingredients, it was not a leak, it was an intentional release via needlerape, small thing that....

Maybe she should write about racial quotas at Universities which restrict the amount of Asians admitted. That is real racism.

We can all name countless examples of anti-white and anti-Asian policy proposals and racists remarks by public figures, who support openly racist policies, in the last 30 years. The lab leak theory isn’t one of them but thousands of admissions departments across the country, businesses, government contracts, etc are set up to intentionally discriminate against people who are white or Asian. Why is that ok? It’s not but no one stands up to it.

“Can those who see racism behind every tree name a single public figure of note who has, in the last thirty years, advocated discriminatory policies against people because of their dark skin?”

Joe Biden comes to mind.

When whites stop letting the charge of racism bother them it will no longer be a weapon. Then society can heal.

She’s intellectually inept.

I totally agree with the concept that reporters "would be far more effective at at apprehending reality if they made an effort investigate it instead of arbitrarily labeling it." Fortunately, the view that Covid-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is no longer a "conspiracy theory." Instead, it is the declared view of the FBI and the Lawrence Livermore Lab of the Department of Energy.

That’s gold. I hate to admit that I love seeing these people made accountable for their shamefully stupid behaviour.
