Crying Wolf About Racism Makes Real Racism Worse

It seems like everything is racist nowadays. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Music. Housing. Vehicles. Everything. Many of us see it as a joke, but there’s more to be seen here. When people cry wolf about racism, it conceals real racism then weaponizes it. Two black men can visit a starbucks, violate their rules, get kicked out as a result and cry wolf about racism. Due to the society in which we live, many people believe their claims. Not only do the two men get paid off, but Starbucks as a corporation is forced to change their bathroom policy. On the other hand, another black man - world famous brain surgeon Ben Carson - get bombarded with racism on a daily basis but nobody seems to care. Simply because he does not paint himself as a victim and he is not on the left, therefore not part of the protected class. Examples of this scenario play themselves out time and time again.
