Racism Has Jumped the Shark (ep 626)

Genuine racism is a bad thing. That's why the word "racist" used to carry real moral weight — because real racism is a serious wrong. But the word has been misused, abused, overused, and trampled on. After decades of overuse, misapplication, and outright abuse, the accusation of racism has jumped the shark. Today, voter ID is racist. Advanced math is racist. Showing up on time is racist. Flying your country's flag is racist. When everything is racist, nothing is. Pigweed and Crowhill dig into how the left turned a legitimate moral concept into a political weapon — and how that weapon is now misfiring badly. Plus: a review of honey Kölsch from Danville Ballad Brewing and a listener pushback on our Saul Alinsky episode.📬 Send us your thoughts: [email protected] 🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com👍 Like, subscribe, and tell a friend
