I AM A RACIST

I'm not sure what declarations, but "racism" has an empirically defined meaning. And it is falsifiable. The notion that the term "racism" is meaningless or that it is "epistemologically" defective is just another dimension of the denial of racism syndrome. It is a "left" method of denying racism, wrapped in faulty theory of knowledge language. In this case, Wojtek seems to be going for a Popperian "lack of falsifiability" approach. But Wojtek's analysis fails.

Hence the meaninglessness of these declarations.
