Thought you might appreciate this little tidbit. When you search “thinking housewife” on Google the first auto-suggestion is “thinking housewife” and the second is “thinking housewife racist.” Don’t know quite why, but I found that amusing.
Hope you and yours are well this Christmas season and may y’all have a Happy New Year!

Happy Christmas and New Year to you!
Your note reminds me of something the medieval philosopher Boethius wrote:
Do you think it a small matter that your terrible misfortunes have revealed the feelings of those friends who are faithful to you? Fortune has separated your true friends from two-faced ones; when she left you, she took her followers with her and left you your own. Think how much you would have given for this knowledge when you were still on top and thought yourself fortunate. Now you complain of lost riches; but you have found your friends, and that is the most precious kind of wealth.
[The Consolation of Philosophy, Prose 8]
In the face of such malicious name-calling and false accusations, I have found out who my true friends are.
Truth is always good. No matter how unpleasant.

With all due respect, you are not correctly perceiving the charge of “racist” against yourself nor are you perceiving correctly the true motivations of your “accuser.”
While it is true that your accusers are attempting to impugn your character, such an actuality CAN ONLY BE DONE with your consent and this is done by way of you adopting the accuser’s radical liberal frame.
“Racist” is PASSIVE liberal speak for “white supremacist.” A liberal accuses another of “racism” OUT OF PASSIVITY and a real fear of being more explicit and thus obscures his fear, loathing and hatred of white Supremacy by using the “racist” euphemism.
Simultaneously, you ADOPT the radical liberal’s false equation of racist = white supremacist = white degenerate. In other words, you perceive the accusation of “racist” as equal to “white supremacist” and that equal to YOU being a white degenerate and of course you naturally reject that conclusion BUT fail to acknowledge the utter falsity of the idea that a genuine white Supremacist could actually equal a white degenerate. Such a self-evidently and blatantly false equation so deeply held signals total submission to the radical liberal frame.
You are a genuine white Supremacist and your enemies fear, loathe and hate you for it. But they’re also too scared to accuse you of such a disposition without using the passive liberal euphemism “racist.”

I don’t agree that I am playing along with insults. I don’t do anything differently or silence myself because I am called “racist.”
