Yeah.
It means there is nothing to discuss.
It’s all fake, a creation made for exploitation.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

C.S. Lewis

“I’m tired of woke, meaningless, discussions about race.”

According to the “woke generation” aka “Clueless Generation” that’s racist.

There’s a Nazi base in the South Pole where the Earth is hollow.
I read it on the internet, so...

Anyone who recommends Ibram Kendi and “White Fragility” IS the racist.

No law is going to change the way a person feels. No government is going to get rid of racism.

Well that’s just disinformation to distract you from finding the real Nazi base on the dark side of the moon.

There’s a handful of stories it could be posted onto every single day.

Lets face it — we all know what “talking about racism” entails. It entails you (white guy) shutting up, and someone else talking. YOU aren’t allowed to talk. THAT is called “talking about racism.”

They wokesplain to you your crimes, and you may be afforded an opportunity to confess.

After all, racism is a learned behavior

Define "racism".

I do not think you can define it in any way that leads to the conclusion that it is a learned behavior.

For example: Would you rather live in Oslo or Kinshasa?

Who taught you that? How long did it take you to learn that?

If you had been taught differently (but had still experienced both) would your choice change?

I am reminded of Eric Holder accusing whites of being cowards when it comes to talking about race, knowing full well that anything a white person says on the subject will be branded as racist, and that having such a conversation does nothing to improve the lives of any Americans or to foster more harmony between the races. If I remember correctly he is the son of immigrants.

A lot of people are tired of open and sanctioned racism against white people.

Hasn’t human history demonstrated that all people groups war against one another because of differences (real and imagined), and the only agent that successfully binds people groups like an adhesive is the person of Jesus Christ?

Accordingly, peoples who reject the Lordship of Christ will war against each other. That appears to be the testimony of history.

I was raised completely devoid of any racism.
I had a Japanese best friend.
I wound up going to high school in Wilmington DE. I “learned” to be racist. Mostly because they hated me, were violent, and behaved like animals.

He pointed out that he never felt that way in school, but did so elsewhere, like when he went to Cleveland or Akron. I think it's worse today than it was when I was growing up, but one asks why.

There are people you know, and people you don't know. In a small town, everyone knows everyone else, and whether they are good people.

In a big town, when you meet a stranger who you don't know, you operate off of probabilities, using observable characteristics to make a guess as to what kind of person he is.

A black guy whose dress, grooming, and mannerisms identify him as having grown up middle class will result in a more positive view of him, than a white person who looks like a thug will get.

Thomas Sowell, a brilliant guy who happens to be black, in his book "Knowledge and Decisions", points out that gaining knowledge about whether a person is good or not, is not a cost-free process. Thus we learn to operate off of patterns and indicators.
