Under the wrongthink guidance of the woke regime that has taken control of every American institution, there’s one golden rule that can never be broken. Never, under any circumstances, criticize a Black person (if they’re a Democrat). If you dare to defy this rule, you risk being tarred-and-feathered as a racist. It doesn’t matter how valid your criticism may be, or how irrelevant their race may be regarding that criticism; it simply isn’t allowed.

Following the release of his absurd book “The Message” — in which he condemns the imaginary Jim Crow nature of Israel without even bothering to mention Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Yasser Arafat or the Palestinian Liberation Organization — left-wing pseudo-intellectual hero Ta-Nehisi Coates faced basic pushback from CBS’s Tony Dokoupil. For this crime, Dokoupil was immediately condemned for actually engaging in basic journalism, and Simone Zimmerman — the co-founder of the suicidal group IfNotNow — even called it a “disgustingly racist interview.”

After exposing Kamala Harris for what appears to be blatant Biden-esque plagiarism throughout her criminal-justice book, “Smart on Crime,” Christopher Rufo was dismissed by The New York Times as simply another conservative pouncing on an anti-Democrat story in a campaign that was characterized by “some academics” as racist.

And writing for The Guardian, Judith Levine listed off conservative criticism of Kamala Harris — including the correct description of the vice president as a celebrated diversity, equity and inclusion hire — as examples of conservatives’ racism. After all, it’s not racist when Democrats celebrate Harris as a DEI hero, but it is racist when conservatives dare to point this out.

Look, there are obviously examples of criticism being motivated by racism. But the bizarre reflex to declare that any criticism of anyone who happens to be Black as unquestionable evidence of racism is both dangerous and racist.

Why is it dangerous? Because in a free society — one unburdened by our current obsession with identity politics and a worship of the false idol of intersectionality — we must be allowed to criticize the words and actions of anyone, regardless of irrelevant factors like status, race or sex. Without this fundamental ability to engage in debate, bad actors are allowed to hide behind these identity labels like shields, promulgating bad ideas without pushback by relying on our widespread dismissal of the opinions of bigots — whether that accusation is valid or not. This has gone so far that even obvious truths — such as the binary nature of sex — are rejected without question or debate under the banner of anti-bigotry.

And why is it racist? Because handing certain Black people — those who are working on behalf of the Democratic Party regime, like Ta-Nehisi Coates or Kamala Harris — the privilege of unquestionability, thereby making them beyond dispute or doubt, is (by definition) racist. This is because, as a direct outcome, there must be those not afforded this privilege on the basis of their race (and political affiliation).

Unless we reject the racism reflex for what it is — a cheap and bigoted trick that aims to stifle speech and debate — then our society is doomed, for truth and falsehood will no longer be determined by logic or reasoning, but by skin color and genitals.
