"And since, as you are endlessly informing us, Racism = Prejudice + Power"

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.

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 donтАЩt 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.

. . . as IтАЩm sure you, Steve, can attest from personal experience.
