And since, as you are endlessly informing us, Racism = Prejudice + Power, once you achieve the power you seek, your patent prejudice makes you a racist. Better watch out—wouldn’t want to be held accountable!

I don't think there's any need to buy into this framing. The good old-fashioned definition of racism already makes it clear that people like this are racist. Interestingly, an increasing number of these fringe "antiracists" are racist against black people who don't adhere to the narrative too.
“The good old-fashioned definition of racism already makes it clear that people like this are racist.”
Of course it does. Which is why these people feel the need to rewrite the definition to exclude themselves and apply only to people they don’t like. My point was to point out the inherent self-contradiction in equating racism with power and then seeking power in the name of fighting racism. By their own definition, it exposes their blatant prejudice as yet another form of racism.
“Interestingly, an increasing number of these fringe ‘antiracists’ are racist against black people who don't adhere to the narrative too.”
. . . as I’m sure you, Steve, can attest from personal experience.
