How to Respond When You’re Falsely Labeled a Racist

Ben Shapiro explains how you should respond to being called a racist and gives his thoughts on how conservatives should reach out to the black community.

I love seeing Black Conservatives speak up like this. It's the biggest flip off to the establishment.

If anyone calls Ben a racist just cause he’s conservative just send them this video

"Can I shake your hand?"

"Absolutely."

Wholesome

That guy was a cool ass dude. IF everyone in discussions were like him, we wouldn't have emotional yelling matches like nearly every political debate.

Labeling someone racist is an easy way out of really addressing the situation

I have a friend who, when called a racist, responds, "I don't remember anyone calling me a racist when I marched with Martin Luther King." That usually ends the name calling.

'Can i shake your hand'
'Absolutely'
Top quality, how it should be.

My home is mixed race we live without colors. Yet I am still called racist by people who have nothing else to throw at you. I laugh at them and say "now say something intelligent". It never happens.

It's heartening to see black people demonstrate their understanding of what is actually happening in the United States, that they recognize that the Democrat Party truly has stuck them on a new plantation. Education and employment = continual improvement and independence.

How I'd respond: "You eat babies."

When they're inevitably confused: "What? I need reasons and logic, but you don't?"

The “can I shake your hand” at the end gave me the feels big time.

The man who asked the question is so sweet. You can tell he really cares and is a gentle soul.

Two likeable lads having a chat! Topped off by a respectful handshake, bloody special👍

Racist: you’re a racist!

Me: “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”

[icychap]

"I think the way to reach out to the black community is the way you reach out to everyone, which is by telling them the truth." Amen, brother.

“America is not going to get in your way, and if someone is, show me so we can help!” Ben Shapiro-Awesome Sir!

[mercuryshadow]

Ben: "show me the person getting in the way"

Me: Democrats Ben, Democrats are getting in the way.

The term "racist" gets tossed around like confetti. It has lost much of its sting.

[hunterwilson]

Made me smile when he asked if he could shake Ben’s hand, and with no hesitation, Ben said, “Absolutely.” Even if they disagreed, I believe Ben would’ve done the same thing. Need more of this positivity.

When someone calls me a racist I respond, “Prove it.” They can’t prove it. That usually ends the discussion. We are too afraid of the label itself and need to start calling out their bluff when they try this stunt.
