Racism does exist. It would be stupid even to think otherwise.
But a growing ideology in the west needs racism. This ideology craves racism because without racism, their value, their message would cease to exist. Racism is a currency to the left. When they can't find it, they create it.
Counterfeit racism.
See the MAGA hats. Now a symbol of racism to the left because they called Trump racist for so long that they can't see the hat without thinking of the false, counterfeit racism they attributed to Trump.
The left sees lower unemployment, higher wages, lower taxes as racist because America is improving and that is associated with making America great.
Which is racist, according to the left.
They can't formulate a positive message of higher taxes, higher unemployment, lower wages. They can't run on that.
What they can only run on is racism.
They have to attribute every positive thing we've experienced to racism because to think otherwise would be a condemnation of their own core beliefs.

You can replace the 'left' with the 'right't and portray the exact same message.
How about racism is just wrong on all fronts? Why do you need to constantly disassociate yourself with the term and push it on another group of people who don't agree with you to push a narrative?
Racism is a means of dividing one group from another.
I understand that the 'right' doesn't mean to push racism, but when you have actual racists advocating right wing ideologies, and the moderates don't condone or say "I will defend racists to be racist because freedom of speech" what does that tell the rest of population?

People accuse you of being racist, even if you point out a truth, like Michelle Obama being a woman and a man at the same time. It's like everyone is fragile like an egg nowadays.

The Republican party doesn't cry racism. Republicans are only recipients of being accused by the left and the MSM of racism usually a majority of time these are false accusations.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, but you can regurgitate your own cake as the left often does due to hypocrisy. You don't always get to weasel out of responsibility by saying the other side does it too, especially when they don't.
What the left is doing currently by screaming racism for everything under the sun is in fact childish, primitive behavior, that seeks to destabilize society, and weaken the human will to survive.
A REAL man or woman with even a smidgen of moral integrity wouldn't respond like you did, but would instead be condemning what was outlined in the OP.

It all boils down to perpetuating the victim mentality. Without it, their emotions have nothing to linger onto and they would be forced to use their brains instead -- which is the antithesis to their ideology.
