“You’re no better than us”
Of course not. I never claimed to be. “Virtue signaling coward”? You’re wrong on that count.
Anyone in this day and age pearl clutches about racism on Free Republic is clueless
Do this favor for yourself
Go on reddit or twitter or any other forum platform and just scan what self professed minorities and especially blacks have to say about whites over any topic that’ involves whites as victims of blacks
You’ll quit fretting about your view of racism as original sin
I already knew this just considering my 60 years of living in areas with large or majority black populations and watching it mostly degenerate
Early on indeed I too wanted to help them help themselves and had empathy for those actually discriminated against or who had suffered violence at the hands of actual white supremacists like Sam Bowers where I lived
My father and grandfather were active in the moderate response to the klan and refused to join he Citizens Council even though my grandpa was what folks use to call rich....and I was spanked for saying nigger.....now how it’s part of daily black vernacular they use with abandon
Ike homosexuals say queer or fag but you better not unless you are one
My dad and grandpa helped rebuild Vernon Dahmers burned down house near Hattiesburg after the requests of Pete Frierson who owned a local building supply store and was a deacon and deer and dive hunting friend of our families
But bear in mind they were all Goldwater men and eschewed the civil rights legislation which prompted the Great Society overreach in my view
I know it sounds like “but I have black friends “.....actually not many these days and two work for me
It hasn’t turned out too good in my opinion since...it’s like the bad element in black culture is in firm control now baring exceptions
You may not recall the old canard “well when there are enough in middle class they’ll act like us and share our views of civilization and culture”
That didn’t happen...we sadly absorbed those same bad features that now dominate them like illegitimacy .....the real culprit of most of this
Pre 1962 it was 1-2 percent for whites and 20-25% for blacks
Not it’s 25 percent for whites and 65-85 percent for blacks depending who you listen too....blacks used to have big fun weddings same as blacks.....now it’s mostly Tyler Perry fantasy or waspy blacks in Town and Country.
Their group behavior even though always laggard and problematic was better then before desegregation and the Great Society than now...
I lived this experience in a black majority city during segregation when anywhere was safe....imagine that for a second....it’s impossible to envision today int it.....like a fantasy
We tolerate as a whole society or culture today the same degeneration they once just tolerated in pockets of themselves...nay we don’t tolerate it we celebrate and applaud it and accommodate it either because it appeals to our own base idesires or from fear of being called racist
And now that minorities in general are gaining steam to outnumber whites soon here and in Europe they are telegraphing their intentions
And it’s not pretty and we are fooling ourselves....imagine angry minirities being 60-70 percent of American population
We’ll be dependent as whites on Asians or orientals or whatever you’d like to calll them to save us
History is replete with how minorities or blacks in general act when they gain power ...
It’s ugly.....Haiti ..Congo.....Rhodesia ...parts of colonial Brasil
So pay attention
Rural blacks in the cotton states tend to still be somewhat congenial is my dilettante observation these days when I’m down home since I live in Nashville area with fairly low black population for a southern city
