Why Do Millennials Not Understand Racism?

43. Number 3 is why I hardly discuss

Honestly, it is a strong weapon that I have seen too many people use to shut down someone they may not agree with. A few years ago, there was a push to recall our democratic mayor (Omaha). It was spearheaded by Republicans who were pissed that they lost. But, to be fair, the mayor had a few BAD fuck-ups out of the gate and provided the means to successfully get the signatures for a recall vote. The thought early on was that it would be successful, as the right would be more motivated to get to the polls (fortunately, they did NOT).

All that said, we had a city councilman who made the claim that anyone who supported the recall of this white mayor, was a racist. When you see the claim being thrown around in situations like that just for personal (or political) gain, one tends to shy away from any situation where that may arise. After all, we live in a guilty until proved innoncent society.
