Is the current political climate of hatred for the opposition justified and normal? Are the narratives tying political agendas to racial prejudice warranted and helpful to advance the cause of human progress?

None of the current climate about race is normal. The expression of racial prejudice is minimal in today’s world except as it is manipulated to become seen as the most important and urgent issue—that is an orchestration, not reality. So the political climate of hatred of other parties and then using race as a means to vilify the opposition is indeed a low blow and will have the desired effect of casting doubt and a pall of dark suspicion about a person’s character, their reliability, and even their basic humanity will come into question. That is the intention—to use the biggest weapon one can in a war of words—innuendo, slander, misrepresentation of truth, and creating the suspicion of ulterior motives stemming from inner prejudice are very handy weapons in a climate where any evidence of racial bias is seen as a mortal sin, so to speak, with the politically correct norms currently in place. All of this is nondivine, and all will incur karmic penalties down the line. One cannot hate without a consequence to the self—this karma will see to and it will not be pretty. The act of calling out falsely someone as a racist is an act of evil akin to harboring racism itself. All the more so because it is a public act intended to harm, to tarnish the reputation, to limit the power of another and undercut their effectiveness in life. This is the essence of the evil of racial prejudice which is designed to do the same thing by recognizing racial origins and labeling it to have an awareness of race as an important determining factor, and then use a person’s race as a reason to sideline them, to shun them, to deny them freedoms and equal opportunity to participate in whatever they might choose. These two acts are evil twins, and both are rightly condemned, and both rightly deserve condemnation.
