Social justice warriors (SJWs) risk infusing America with a race-based hatred that could seed the race war predicted for decades by white nationalists. As with past ideological horrors, the SJWs don't know they are doing this — they are rubes for powerful interests who pave roads to Hell with the best of virtue-signaling intentions.
A white man I have known here in Vermont for 40 years approached me confidentially, in earnest. Speaking in a hushed, almost ashamed, voice, he said, with his endearing Vermonter accent, "Johnny, my whole life I've never been a racist, but I think I may be one now. I'm so sick of hearing about this s---!"
This is not a man who spent his formative years in the Green Mountain wilderness, clueless about race (as are the majority of white Vermont SJWs prancing around cluelessly "saving the black man"). No, this is a man who grew up in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, in a mixed-race neighborhood. This is a man I've never heard make a racist remark in those 40 years. And his "confession" to me was not an expression of pleasure or celebration — he was dismayed and even distraught at these feelings he had never had.
I have talked privately with many white Vermonters, who are becoming "woke" in a way perhaps unintended by the SJWs: they are sick and tired of endless complaints about racism and the marketization of "blackness" for commercial profit. Nike makes money by stirring the pot of racial tensions to hawk its crap products (manufactured in sweatshops abroad using child labor). In 2022, "buying black" is a cause célèbre for every product and service under the sun — massive corporations now profit by displaying their wares with black actors, showing how "enlightened" they are.

“But, then, that’s really the goal, isn’t it?”
It is the goal. I was never a racist, I still don’t think I’m a racist, but I can’t say I really care about the plight of the poor urbanites anymore.
Your info is pre-Middle Eastern occupation.
The last decade has changed things a lot, and not for the better.
Norway has the advantage of a pretty harsh climate.
“...the SJWs don’t know they are doing this...”
Yes, they do. The Media-Dem Party has been ginning up a race war now for many years and shifted into high gear during the 0bama years.
It depends on whose definition of “racist” is being used. I am certainly a racist under to most of the Woke definitions.
Most Southerners of both races are most dismayed by what is going on. We had made so much progress and now it is being thrown away by idiots on both sides. We still get along fairly well and decent people seem to be going out of their way to mind their manners and treat each other respectfully.

My Grandmother was a horrible racist, would leave a grocery store if the wrong type of people were in there.
My parents really weren’t.
My son grew up in a very mixed neighborhood of very respectable people of all races.
He didn’t even see color, when he met a classmate who was being raised by his white grandparents (evident to me what the situation was), he said to me that XXX classmate definitely didn’t get his height from his parents. Two short, old white people at parents night with a very tall black boy.
That was colorblind. I think that used to be the goal. But obviously that was all a lie, just like women’s rights. It was never really about equality.
Both the race card and the female card were always about getting the upper hand.
Stupid whites always seem to fall for their evil schemes.
Time to grow up.
Or straight people:-)
If you be straight AND white...what could be the proper punishment?
Kepp calling us racist and some of us may BECOME racist!
