I guess if I suggest valuing individuals for what their intellects, convictions, and deeds merit, the collectivists who judge the worth of people based on conditions they had no control over might angrily call me a racist.

Judging people by the content of their character will get you labeled a racist.
Martin Luther King, Jr., was regarded as a generally peaceful man, but I can’t help but think that if he visited Earth right now and saw what his civil rights movement had devolved into — how it’s turned full circle and is now actively resisting and calling “racist” the ideas he championed, and now champions the literally-racist ideas he rejected — he’d want to slap some people.
Judging people — or anything — by the content of Wikipedia will get you labeled a sucker.
I notice the “Black pride” says that “Related movements include … Afrocentrism and Black supremacism.” Yet, it’s about “celebrat[ing] heritage and personal pride.”
But the “White pride” mentions “white supremacist organizations” and that’s categorically a Very Bad Thing[TM].
Right.
And don’t get me started how one of the “color” labels is worthy of capitalization but the other is not.
