It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and this certainly seems to apply to America’s current race relations. Ill-advised accusations of White racism are ubiquitous, as if expunging this alleged toxicity will bring a racial Utopia. In fact, such allegation will only make bad situations worse. To invoke another cliché, with friends like this, who needs enemies?
Consider, for example, how Williams College recently ended its policy of requiring all graduates to pass a swim test, or if they failed the test, take a swimming course. The reason for the cancellation: being able to swim was deemed racist and thus ill-suited to the college’s commitment to racial diversity. Specifically, D. Clinton Williams, director of the college’s Pathways for Inclusive Excellence condemned such tests as a vestige of American’s horrific racism since those unable to swim. and thereby required to take swimming instruction, were disproportionately Black.
This equity may turn deadly. According to CDC data, Blacks are 1.5 times more likely to drown than Whites. This is particularly true for youngsters. For children aged 5 to 9, the drowning ratio is 2.6; for children aged 10-14, it is 3.6 times higher. Most shockingly, among those aged 10-14, the ratio in public swimming pools is 7.6 times higher for Blacks. Hardly surprisingly, the CDC advises that swimming lessons can help prevent death by drowning.
A second example comes from the prestigious Scientific American and addresses the high levels of obesity among Black women. The facts are simple: four out of five Black women are either overweight or obese and this condition is associated with cardiovascular, inflammatory, and metabolic risk factors and true regardless of diets , whether they smoke or exercise.

Blacks get played by the marxist division tactics used by the left. They need to become informed so they can see when it is being done.

Or they could start building basketball
courts in swimming pools.
racism is a sign of stupidity
everyone, every single person has 100% worth
Since I am a branded a White Supremacist opposed to CRT,I have been relieved of race obsession.
I am white but constantly forget about it. My bad.
My black friends are blacker than the Ace of spades, but they too commit the original sin of forgetting about it.
If you can’t forget about it, just fall in love with someone different than you are. Then you will acquire the same ability to forget about it.
Then you can be as bad as a White Supremacist.
being able to swim was deemed racist>>>
This is based on the racist myth that black folk swink and can’t sim.
CornPop was a bad dude.

While I don’t doubt these statistics (and you can use them to bolster arguments against the stupidity of Hallucinatory Racism). The political Left doesn’t care about reasonable stats. There’s already plenty of stats out there to torpedo their kookiness. Race-pimping pays...pure and simple. It’s been milked (and will be milked) for all it’s worth. The best antidote for Wokism is to mock it relentlessly. It’s really the only thing that young people understand. They have to be Red Pilled, because they are out only hope. The adults who are pushing this stuff are a lost cause.
Saying a person is a different race because of color is like saying that a red Ford can be a blue Chevy with a paint change. Color, the least consequential of differences in the races, is the only thing mindless politicrats ever focus on.
Hasn't been worth a bleep since they changed the format.
I have over 20 years of the really prestigious Scientific American that I read cover-to-cover.
Cancelled my subscription years ago when they became a TIME magazine clone spewing a constant stream of 'out-of-Africa' and 'Global Warming'.
This is absolutely SPOT ON.! And, if it continues, somebody is going to get hurt..
If you forced to wear the name, you may as well play the game.... :(
As long as citizens of this country,who choose to identify as black, African American, or some other nomenclature, continue to adhere tenaciously to a voodoo, anti-social death culture, such will enable and perpetuate their own self destruction.
It is about culture not race.
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!
Why are the same racists that oppressively have ripped America apart on race allowed to celebrate MLK? Obviously they don’t judge people on the content of their character.
Correct, and the only way through this.
I fear t is much more sinister, CRT racism is essentially volkishness, a doctrine which teaches that ethnic or racial identity is everything. As such there must be permanent hostility among the ethnicities until one overcomes and possibly destroys the other. Marxist-Leninist class warfare political philosophy has been melded with National Socialist racial superiority thinking. The goal is to produce permanent warfare against non-woke white people. The final effect is to terrorize, gehttoize and kill in large numbers non woke white people so the most resistant group to being a helot of the globalist universal empire can be crushed and possibly genocided.

Well said !
Darn near poetic /-).
Interesting how a white person is judged a racist simply because of the color of their skin. Isn’t That racism?
