 "Opposition to the U.S. Military Industrial Complex is racist."

"Opposition to judicial overreach of the U.S. supreme court is racist."

"Opposition to the Federal Reserve is...racist."

...do you see how nonsensical that is?

...do you see that by conflating the opposition to the actions of a State with racial prejudice they (the State) has created a smokescreen to justify *any State action*? 
 That's a bit of a strawman.

 To be opposed to a State institution and/or its policies has zero to do with an ethnic identity. Semitism is not Zionism--and that is logical equivalent of what tou posted.
