Is that really a good propaganda move? Assimilating systemic racism denial to climate change denial?

The Specter of Systemic Racism.

“Spectral evidence,” unverified and unverifiable, is no more or less tangible than today’s “systemic racism,” an accusation leveled against police departments, government agencies, and businesses. 

If there is racism “in the system,” who, precisely, is responsible—both everyone in general and no one in specific? 

And what constitutes an act of systemic racism? 

These claims of institutional or systemic racism are no more amenable to proof than “microaggressions,” “dog whistles,” or “triggering,” not to mention “climate change.” 

And yet, those who claim it—like their Salem counterparts—must be believed, per se.

It is interesting that the right media regularly and repeatedly and even urgently attribute the riots initiated by the murder of George Floyd by police to antifa and not to BLM, rarely even mentioning the latter, though both espouse bitterly anti-America ideologies, with the latter at least also being bitterly anti-white.

What's up with that?
