False accusations of racism

4 bytes added, 17:28, June 25, 2020
Currently, there is no accepted term for someone who accuses others of racism. The term "race-baiter" is the closest fit but this term has the connotation of trying to invoke racial strife (which may not necessarily be the intent of someone making false claims, e.g., [[Jussie Smollett ]] was trying to advance his career and associated salary when he made false claims of racism). Given the lack of such a term and in honor of [[Jussie Smollett]], it is recommended that a new noun be defined for someone who falsely accuses others of racism, i.e., "smollett". For example, "[[Al Sharpton ]] is a smollett."
Other related terms can also be defined, e.g., smollettism.
