Race relations in the 1980s were not perfect but they were darn good. Then the LA riots. And OJ. And a host of other events all exploited by various grifters like Al Sharpton. It just gets worse and worse. And it’s not going to get better any time soon.

My eyes are glazing over. . . . can I still go eat at a Mexican restaurant?

The problem with "Hound Dog" is not that Elvis Presley sang someone else's song. It's that no dogs ever saw a penny of the proceeds.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by a white man. Does that mean that only white men may sing the national anthem at sporting events?

The concept of cultural appropriation is rooted in what was historically a very real problem. We can take an example from American music in the mid-20th century. Elvis Presley can be credibly accused of appropriating the song “Hound Dog” from Big Momma Thornton.

But the problem with that was not that Presley created a new version of the song, but that the music industry of the time privileged his version with more air time, opportunity, and pay than it did hers. The answer to this problem is to level the playing field, not to segregate artistic output.

Elvis Presley actually appropriated Freddy Bell & the Bell Boys' version of Hound Dog--and this was a white group.

Big Mama Thornton's version of Hound Dog was a bestseller and spawned a few answer songs--Call Me a Hound Dog, Bear Cat, etc. But even if Big Mama's version had gotten moree promotion and airplay, many pop music fans would have preferred Presley's polished style over her down-home bluesy treatment.

What would you do if the Socialists took the federal majority in the election?

The Wokeratti are going to create the very thing they most do not want - a unified block of White Identitarians to match all the other ethnic identitarians. You keep poking the bear, you keep telling White people that they alone are not allowed to take pride in their heritage but instead should engage in non stop self flagellation, you WILL get a backlash eventually.

The Wokeratti are not very different from the racists of yesteryear they excoriate. People are noticing.

Mmmmm maybe his version was more popular because he had a better voice and was a young good looking guy? He made the girls want him and the guys want to be him.

"A staple of ancient Greek tragedy is a plot twist in which a protagonist attempting to avoid a negative result inadvertently brings that result into being."

This isn't a Greek tragedy, and there is nothing "inadvertent" about it. The left is DELIBERATELY trying to create white supremacists in order to "increase the contradictions" of capitalist society. EVERYTHING the left does is an attempt to make things WORSE.

The black BLM racists are getting pounded to pieces.

The Mexicans, who live next to black ghettos, are defending their homes and businesses and beating the crap out of BLM.

When the black racists venture into white suburbs, they are met by cops who are backed up by armed citizens, and the BLM racists are escorted out of the suburban neighborhoods for their own safety.

Finally, Trump has engaged federal officers who are arresting the antifa fascists and charging them with federal crimes.

If the “Work Ethic” is an example of “Whiteness”, then only whites can ascribe or engage in it as a value, and as a means to financial success. According to “critical race theory” this cannot change.

The correct policy and future doctrine will be to suppress the work “ethic”, forever denying wealth and success to all racial minorities, unless they have their own version of that ethic, as do Asians.

Maybe “Asianness” will be decried and undermined in the future also. Do you think that will go over well with the remaining population, to be condemned to ignorance and poverty forever?
