Yes, Race Can Be Discussed Constructively and Civilly

No, no it can't. For a conversation to be constructive and civil both sides must act in that manner. As we've seen countless times, the white perspective is always dismissed (often times quite angrily) as "racist" and the product of "white privilege".

Speaking about race, I had a dream the other night about amnesty for illegals. Millions upon millions of non-white illegals were pouring into our country at an alarming rate and I was wondering why th president would allow this. Finally there were more non-whites than there were whites and then Obama began making speeches against the white people and our history of enslaving other races and the black and brown races began getting very angry. He was starting a civil war between the white races and the other races! They were heavily armed with automatic assault weapons and backed up with tanks and APCs. It was clear the federal government was backing them. Then I woke up, realizing why he wanted amnesty so badly and had been stockpiling such a large amount of ammo; he was going to remove the white man from power...

Unfortunately, there can be no honest discussion of race in this nation. The reason is that there are too many people like Jackson, Sharpton, the NAACP, every “African-American Studies” professor, who have a vested interest in perpetuating the status quo of 1970. If a man invented a way to push a button and remove all racism from the world, the abovementioned people would have that man assassinated. Jim Crow is gone. “Colored” signs are nowhere. The people who graduated from high school this spring have no experience of real racism, and they are more alike than different regardless of race. People like Jackson, Sharpton, etc are not just living in the past- they are perpetuating it because if it disappeared, they would be unemployed. No more fancy dinners, gold-digging girlfriends, limos, big conventions with booze and hookers, interviews with hot infobabes, big offices and suits with no real work to do.... And they get all this by lying to their own people, who after several generations of being lied to cannot conceive the truth, and who have been encouraged to have their own separate (and thoroughly failed)society so these crooks can live the good life. And if anybody tries to point that out, out comes the race card, and screams of “bigot!”
