But who decides? The Southern Poverty Law Center? If you ask them, all
extropians are racists, members of a cult. Does that mean they are
right?
Groups like Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, and even Jesse
Jackson's Rainbow PUSH group all believe a mythology that civilization
is an invention of the black race which has been stolen from them by
northern white barbarians who trod them down and enslaved them. If that
isn't a racist mythology, I don't know what is.
With the current slavery reparations movement, the common mythology is
that it was the slaves who built America, and the rest of us honkeys
just sat around watching, so we owe them ownership of everything we
have. This is similarly a racist mythology.

I'd say instead that the guilty rich liberal elites that control the
media and DNC politics have programmed society into looking at these
groups this way.
