Black FEELS Matter is what it should be called.

Just sometimes? I saw a shirt the other day that said “I used to be a people person until people got involved!” Yup! LOL!

Why do blacks from Africa still keep coming here ?
Two million have come and still keep coming.

Why would a black person want to come to such a racist country?

Screwy Louie has never explained why the people of Haiti weren’t black enough to warrant help from the mothership.

There was the usual street interview (JayWalking) in celebration of Independence Day by the conservative Campus Reform, focusing on the miseducation of young adults as demonstrated by "America is Racist" but mostly unable to identify the history of this holiday. In response to that thread, I posted what I believed would have been a better set of questions to ask in such a street interview (note Q2);

1. Specify a racist act in this country that is legal and supported by a majority of the population.
2. Name another country that you feel is less racist?
3. Was this country more or less racist in the past?
4. Which is a better choice; A) praising our country for its accomplishments while striving for improvement or B) damning and destroying its history for its faults?

That oft used Limbaugh phrase, "young skulls full of mush", is in play here as the LEFT has dominated academia from the 1960s, and we are seeing that mush as rancid!

Points to those of us old enough and intelligent enough to identify the source of this phrase! When you do, ask this question; could the speaker survive in that profession today?

And most of them shake their heads at the antics of the AAs born here. The locals have NO CLUE what oppression is. Ungrateful snots of all stripes and colors. And not just AAs.

This is a good list to shove in these racists’ faces.

Saying things that some people consider racist is a legal act. Your right to free speech ends where a snowflake’s right to not be offended begins, which is anywhere./s

FYI: In the limited space that Mr Prager had for this article, he failed to include the Oberlin College 2016 (Nov. post election) attack on a local business, Gibson’s Bakery. While this case was tried and Oberlin College was found Guilty to a Court-Ordered penalty of $33 million, it is still under appeal in the Ohio judicial system. Racial Hoax - tried and judged!

Not sarcasm, you just defined 'micro-aggression'; "noun: a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority".
Note the subjective in the definition, it is how the snowflake FEELS, no need for any objectivity or fact!

And why of all the countries in the world do non-whites from around the world risk their lives to come here to live, and for those here, never want to leave?

This is all obvious, but it was somehow satisfying to write it out. The hoaxes are driven by three contemporary trends:
1) Perception Trumps Reality. Racism, gay bashing, sexual abuse and assaults, slavery, name-calling, and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, have been happening since the dawn of time. The ignorati perceive them as rife and all happening RIGHT NOW because they have been fed a blindered version of reality, with negatives repeated in a compacted loop, unleavened by positive deeds or the perspectives of history and geography. Anecdotes, urban myths, and the way 24/7 cable news, social media, and internet surfing, magnify and repeat without end create a sense of ubiquity and crisis.
2) Making A Difference. Many have internalized the notion that their self-worth requires “Making A Difference” by being “Activists”. Not “taking action” equals guilt, as if they are perpetrating hate crimes themselves.
3) Be A Star or be Nothing. The imperative to be a “celebrity” overpowers many. Why work hard to actually accomplish something noteworthy, when a quick “noose” hoax is so easy?

Actual evil deeds are far rarer than propaganda teaches, so evil is being hidden, yeah that’s the ticket. They must DO something to MAKE A DIFFERENCE, preferably something that brings ATTENTION to themselves, er... the problem. The horrors they believe in desperately need to be illustrated and others taught to see them too. Create your own incident. Cast yourself as victim and/or hero. Viola.

Yes, America and Americans are so racist that our highest paid athletes are black and highest paid TV personalities are black.

I guess thats what they deserve for serving the MAN.

Unless EVERY single politician, mayor, policeman, actor and athlete is black then the USA is, and will always be, racist.
