Let’s not discuss this then.
Let’s split the US into White and non White.
Wok people talk one way, behave another.
I’m tired of discussions.
When people like your friend write things like this, it is as if they are completely unaware of the self-correcting (as VDH would describe it) nature of our society, and the many, many, MANY actions we have taken to try to correct wrongs and injustices.
I recommend either the Moon or Mars. You will need a lot of resources in either case. If that’s too much you could try either the South Pole or the North Pole but I can’t guarantee that either of those two locations would solve your problem.
The current racism campaign is all about keeping the black community dependent on voting for Democrats.
Didn’t the entire “white supremacists” and “systemic racism” campaign begin when so many blacks noticed how Trump was increasing black employment and income much more than the Democrats ever did? Did you hear either term before blacks started going to Trump rallies?
Going back a few more years, didn’t Obama make virtually everything about race?
We don’t need a dialogue on race so much as we need to silence the Democrat’s exploitation of the black community.
There’s a streaming TV channel on Roku called BUZZR that plays games shows from the 70’s and 80’s. It’s not uncommon to see a black contestant or celebrity from time to time, and this is all done without drawing any attention to it. Everyone just seems normal, or at least as normal as people can be that go on game shows.
Systemic racism and white supremacy are terms used by the propogandists on the Left to divide. Plain and simple. The political agitators use one of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. [paraphase] Rub raw the divisions of the people.
Racism in America is next to nothing. But the lie is repeated so often, it seems like truth.
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.”
It is social justice evangelism, spreading their “moral” worldview that they think is necessary to SAVE the world.
Meaningful discussions are rare in the Woke New World.
“I’m tired of woke, meaningless, discussions about race.”
According to the “woke generation” aka “Clueless Generation” that’s racist.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Yes, I know that's absurd on its face but that's the mentality we're up against. Your email is spot on and very eloquent. It'll fall on deaf ears and blind eyes among the woke.
