As every kid knows, you can’t force friendship
American Thinker ^ | 28 Mar, 2021 | Frank Liberato

The left knows this too and, through the artifice of forced “anti-racist” training, it is deliberately driving a wedge between Americans.

Friendship and affection have to be given freely. You can’t force someone to like you, just as you can’t be forced to like another person or even a group of people. Any attempt at this type of coercion will likely produce the opposite result.

Progressives want to use the power of government to codify favoritism and then manufacture kinship. That’s hardly a recipe for success. Nevertheless, they seem determined to force the issue until the country is so polarized that we can no longer see any common ground.

The left has heralded sensitivity training and instruction in critical race theory as the solution to America’s race and gender issues. Instead, they are no more than a thinly disguised form of coercion. Any appearance of success is more than likely just a veil that individuals wear to protect themselves from further abuse or even job loss.

How long before the state prosecutes people not only for what they believe you’re thinking, as in hate crimes but also for what they believe you’re not thinking, as in “you’re not really learning what we taught you in re-education camp”? A nation of automatons hardly seems like a productive use of resources. A great deal of time and money would be required to purge any unacceptable thoughts from an entire population and this “education” will have to be repeated with each new generation. The public schools are working on it already but if their success rate is equal to their rate in teaching academic subjects, it’ll be a rocky process.

Destroy their enemies. Biden did say he didn’t know if there would be a Republican Party in 2024. They have plans

My dad gave me this advice when I left home to enter the military and the world at large.

Half the people you come across in life will not like you, no matter what you do.

Focus all of your time and energy on the half who like you and don't waste your time on those who don't.

This eventually led me to eliminate all liberals from my life.

Best advice my dad ever gave me.

“From what I’ve been forced to “experience,” anti-racist training creates anger, resentment and hostility - exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do.”

Except that it’s NOT supposed to do that, and the ones running it know full well that’s the case.

What it IS supposed to do is establish POWER OVER YOU, make you understand that there is a new ruling class, and you MUST answer to it, or you will suffer, big time.

Identical to the Cultural Revolution in China, by the way.

It’s not equity at all. It’s something other than equity if it’s being forced on society and the American people. It is NOT equity. Please make a note of it.

It's payback for all of the mean things they've imagined white people have done to them.

I keep trying to make friends between by python and mice. They mice always run away because when I come back they’re gone. I thought being locked in an aquarium together would force them to be friends and work out their differences........

“ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST”
“PAYPAL ME / ASHLEIGHTHELION”

The assaults will continue until equity improves...
