N.B.: If someone calls attention to a problem or injustice obviously or even plausibly caused by racism, it is not "race-baiting" to point that out.

That is the case with that black-majority county in Alabama, which state Trump's DOJ just let off the hook for repairing their water system.
 
Not even Al Sharpton is a "race-baiter" in the way the contards mean the phrase -- one who tries to use race to make something out of nothing. Like the character based on him in Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities.

Jesse Jackson was never a race-baiter even in the limited sense that it might be said of Sharpton.

Was MLK a race-baiter? W.E.B. Dubois? Booker T. Washington?

Maybe Marcus Garvey, he was a "back to Africa" crank. There never has been a time since the founding of Liberia when any significant number of AAs could have formed colonies in Africa. And Liberia did not work out in an inspiring way -- the Americans acted just like white colonizers, they set themselves up as a ruling class over the primitive natives.

Before the Civil Rights movement, a typical Southern town had a white side and a black side. Since most blacks could not vote, the black side had no voice in local government and tended to be underserved by such things as clean water supplies, sewers, paved streets and good schools. And if law enforcement ever showed up on the black side, it was to investigate some crime against a white person.

Apparently some people are nostalgic for those times.

STFU Nacho
 
Virtually every week for the past decade or so, the shitposter now posting under the Nom de Guano sobriquet Rightguide posts a thread about a "minority in trouble".

It doesn't matter if the minority in question is in politics or not, he simply has an incessant need to post something of this nature. Some call this overt racism, others call it race-baiting.

Me? I think he feels compelled to justify his White Sooperiority regularly to draw attention away from his lack of achievement in life.
 
AI spake thusly:

Race-baiting refers to the act of intentionally encouraging racism or anger about issues relating to race, often to gain a political advantage. It involves making verbal attacks against members of a racial group and can be used to set people against each other, usually in the context of white and black people. The term has been in use since the early 1900s and has been especially used in political discourse to call out politicians who employ racial stereotypes for political gain by stoking resentment in their supporters.


In recent years, the term has been used to describe actions that exploit existing stereotypes and prejudice about race.

For example, conservative politicians and political commentators have begun using the term to refer to minority activists they believe are provoking racial hatred against white people, a shift from its historical use to incite racism against marginalized groups.


Race-baiting can be seen as a tactic to divide and distract people from focusing on broader issues, such as the actions of elites.

It can be used to manipulate public opinion and influence political outcomes, as seen in various political campaigns.

More specifically, it is about the dishonest way racists react to anti-racism.

A thread about race would discuss whether there really are any hereditary psychological differences between "races" as traditionally defined. (There aren't, BTW.)

I notice nobody contradicts this.
