No, telling people who are black that they are not authentically black unless they agree with a certain perspective is a dictionary definition of racism. Who else remembers Starlight trying to argue that "Uncle Tom" is not a racist phrase a few years ago?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

But no, it isn't racist from what I can gather from out of your cherry picked quote. It sounds as if the speaker is saying that if you are afraid of what some may think of you, then you'll be of little help to the cause, and there is no need for you to be there, wherever there is!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The article is paywalled on local news, but AOC's manager (the guy who's thought of as the brains behind her) attacked Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS) for supporting a compromise bill on the border, saying that her motivations were racist while stopping short of calling her racist herself. Davids is a rising star in the Democratic Party, having turned a red district in a very red state. Oh, and she's both Native American and gay.
The House Democratic Party's twitter went up to bat for her, but the main reason it defended Ms. Davids was on the basis of her being a "woman of color" who turned a red district blue. I believe she was right on that issue and that AOC's manager was wrong, but her race was the only thing that seemed to matter in defending her."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Seems to me that the last sentence of the quote makes explicit her intent.
At any rate, it's far from being a racist statement, as much as you'd like to believe it is.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I have the distinct impression, just from today's postings alone, that those on the left have a blind spot for racism from their own side, and vice versa. It's rather sad."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers."

Like I said, overuse has made the term lose much of its meaningfulness - and it also shuts down conversations we need to actually have."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
