In my view, it’s not all that hard to see that America is not a racist country. Every time there are even mere accusations of racism brought up, most everyone in the nation freaks out.
Just look at what happened when Bubba Wallace said he found a noose in his garage. All of the Nascar drivers went out on the track and followed his car in support! And that’s from Nascar, a traditionally Southern sport! If you listen to the fake news media, the South is supposedly full of racists. Does it make sense that they’d go out in support of Bubba Wallace in that situation?
If you believe the media, then no. But, if you’re level headed and understand that America is not a racist country, then it makes perfect sense. Americans support Americans; we’re only divided when the media fans the flames of tension.
Now, of course, I understand that the Bubba Wallace thing was a hoax. I’m not defending him. I just think it’s a good example of the fact that America is not a racist country. And it proves van Buren’s point; accusations are wild and cause more problems than they solve.

What is also very southern is country music. And one of the most popular country singers is a black guy named Darius Rucker.
Really? Hootie and the Blowfish went country? I haven’t kept up with popular culture too much in recent years, so never thought about whatever happened to Hootie and the Blowfish.
Why don’t you get a job and quit trying to get us to click on your stupid blog?
The U.S. is one of the least racist countries in the world. People of all races and colors live where they want, do whatever jobs they want to do and are capable or doing and hold leadership positions at all levels and and in all fields. Trying arriving in Korea or Italy or Japan or Spain or Austria or Russia or Iran or Kenya, as a non-Korean, Italian etc. and see how far you go.
Any honest person with a brain knows this. As a result, they had to invent “systemic racism.” There’s no actual visible racism of people being excluded from housing etc for race, so let’s invent and rail against a phantom of “systemic racism” that can’t really be defined or explained

According to what I hear from the liberals, they are complaining about vestiges of discrimination from the past.
Even though the civil rights laws of the ‘60s were passed almost 60 years ago now, they claim there are still aspects of discrimination out there, such as inferior mostly minority schools in our big cities, and racist cops and all the rest we’ve been hearing about in recent years.
I don’t agree with that point of view. But that mindset is what we are up against. This mindset among the liberals, and the media, that America has never quite eliminated discrimination, lingers on.
I disagree. It's a DIFFERENTLY racist country, and upside down sort of racism, if you will. It has been remarked that "slaves dream of of freedom, but of becoming masters." Blacks did get the short stick, and no matter how hard whites have tried to make things fair, blacks, or at least many leading blacks, won't let it go.
Racism in the US into the mid 20th century was Whites good, Blacks not so much. I suppose you could call it white supremacy. Even if the law didn't support it after the Civil War and with the Civil Rights movement, it's a fair argument that on the whole, the playing field was tilted to the white.
In contrast, nowadays the playing field is tilted to the dark side. That is, anything that is white, especially male hetero white, is denigrated culturally, and often in employment and law enforcement. A significant number of blacks are racist , with their worst feelings reserved for whites. And, society is playing along. Want a black-only fraternity or dorm on a college campus? No problem, the administration approves. Want to be white and stay with your own? Fuhgeddabout it.
Many of these videos are of black people listening to and watching the live version in Oakland in 1977. The interesting thing is that there is a huge Confederate flag serving as a backdrop on the stage and not a one of the reactionists even comments on it. They are simply blown away by the song. And rightly so.
Here's one of my favorite reaction videos. The song begins at the 2:00 mark
That’s awesome!
Wait until the NBA discovers the CCP is the most racist bunch on earth.
Can you define “racist” in a way that is a) universally acceptable and b) useable for comparative purposes 1776-2020?
I don’t even like today’s “Country” Music.. but he is an exception.
He is a great person in RL too..
I’ve never heard of the “reactopn” vids.. but have been watching them for hours now. (Thank you for the point in the direction..).
Running through Rush, Journey, ZZ TOP.. best, so far, is Rush’s Tom Sawyer.. seems it totally takes their mind away :D
