“Racism
Then: Resentment of one’s skin color”

Unraveling lies makes people smarter. The left provides this evolutionary opportunity by constantly coming up with new ways of lying. When people start to REALIZE that they are funding their own destruction and ACT ACCORDINGLY (tax revolution, defying unjust laws, removing children from indoctrination centers, etc.) the parasitical class will wither away.

“I resent you because of your skin color.” Looks like an accurate definition to me.
