It seems like so long ago. Everything was “believe all woman”. During the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, the communist left and the media pretended that all men were rapists and that all claims rape should be believed. But suddenly that’s all changed.
Ever since a rapist, Joe Biden has become the defacto Democrat nominee, the believe all woman mantra has disappeared. Now, the scheme is believe all racism claims.

The “believe all women” mantra, unceremoniously abandoned by the Left after their presidential nominee was accused of sexual assault (a purely coincidental chain of events, to be sure), has now been resurrected and repurposed. Instead of believing all women regardless of evidence, we are now meant to believe all claims of racism regardless of evidence. An article published in The Wall Street Journal this week drives the point home.
Titled, “What Does Being an Ally Look Like? Companies Offer Training in Support of Black Colleagues,” the piece is a lengthy tutorial on how to be white in the modern workplace. Among other things, white people are supposed to be “sounding boards” for their minority coworkers. Also, whites must not “refer to their black co-workers as being ‘too loud,’ or ‘aggressive’ or their appearance doesn’t fit within their personal acceptable standards.” This would be a “micro-aggression,” we are told. But the main point, according to consultant Wilda White, is this: “If a Black person tells you that they’re feeling something is racist, just believe them.”
On one level, this makes sense. If someone tells you they are feeling a certain way, you really have no choice but to believe what they say about their own personal feelings. But the implication in this case is that we should believe the person not just about their own feelings, but about the fact that the thing is racist. CNN recently posted a handy guide on “how to talk to your black friends” which explains that to deny a black person’s racism claim is to “invalidate his experiences.” Instead we are instructed to respond affirmatively to any charge of racism with statements like “That’s hard. I wish that hadn’t happened to you,” or “What can I do to try to address it?”
