Would It Be Fair to Call Bloomberg Supporters “Racists”?

Most Democrats would not like to be called “racists” and would see such a
designation as a very hostile act. And of course it would be irresponsible
to glibly throw words like “racist” around without just cause. But suppose
that some Democrat was supporting Mike Bloomberg for President, KNOWING
that Bloomberg pursued racist policing policies as Mayor of New York City,
KNOWING that Bloomberg had never been held accountable for that, KNOWING
that Bloomberg still holds the same views today that he did when he
directed the New York City police department to implement racist policing
policies, KNOWING that electing Bloomberg therefore means giving someone
with those views the powers of the President of the United States. Would it
be fair, in such circumstance, to call such a Bloomberg supporter a
“racist”? Asking for a friend.
