I don’t consider a meme an automagic falsehood, I think it is more a convenient often applied talking point and it is usually used as a default rather applying any critical thinking.

 

Of course, some are lies…

>Ah, so do you agree with the liberal meme that they just are, they can’t help it?  That >racism is cultural and institutional?

 

I think that's truer of older persons, when the opression was more institutionalized...less true of people who grew up post civil rights.  But I think there are people who honesly have problematic attitudes towards race that are clueless on it because they perceive racism as something like Klan Lynchings...

As an aside I am finding interestingis this sudden love of writing things off as a Meme.  A Meme isn't a falsehood, yet when people use it in political discussions, that's what they seem to imply.
