My prediction is that open racism makes a comeback in the general population. It’s already explicit in the black community. Most blacks just hate whites. I’m convinced of this. There is enormous racism in the black community. The white community, to a large degree, tries not to be racist. But I think people are getting tired of that charade. People want to say how they feel. And it’s not good.
I firmly agree. I’ve actually watched people and conversations morph. I am actually watching myself become more racist as I continue to try to fight it. But it hit me in the elevator this morning that it is very selective.
I was talking to a black woman as we both walked from our cars to the building. We got along great and her race was not an issue at all. I just saw her as another person.
But it falls into something I realized a couple of decades ago regarding how I see people in the office. That is, I see most of the men and women in the office as just people. But some women, I see as “women” and some men I see as “men”. I’m not talking about sexual attractiveness. It’s just that they send a vibe that they are the sex they are in sometimes unidentifiable ways, and somethimes they don’t at all.
I’m noticing it with people of various races as well. Some black people I see as BLACK people, and some I just see as people. It happens with the indians that I work with as well.
Bottom line is that I’m not racist, but I am culturist. that is really all it means. And I’ve seen myself as a culturist for decades. It’s just that now I can consciously see how it affects how I look at people.
Yes, what you said. Probably the most prevalent “legacy” left by 0bama.
“Most blacks just hate whites. I’m convinced of this.”
I have been impressed with the professionalism of black clerks I am dealing with at Lowe’s, ACE, Walmart, and my various suppliers. No problems. This, however, was not the case when Obama was president. Then, I often met with what is called in my neck of the woods, “the ‘tude.” (Meaning attitude.) But with a high level of black employment and their empowerment under Trump, things have radically changed. I no longer feel defensive when I have to deal with blacks in my small town. Nice change.
I never did understand Black racism towards whites. Is it because blacks have an inferiority complex? You know, if you're not a Yankees fan, you hate the Yankees because they win all the time. Do blacks hate whites because of the success whites have had and all the achievements whites have made? Because if you look around the world at all the countries that have a majority black population, and are run by blacks, they are almost exclusively sh$thole countries that give nothing of value to the world.
If you think I'm a racist because of my observations, so be it. I'm not, but who cares.
I think your post is spot on in all respects. And the fact that people just keep moving on to get away from this is all the proof you need that white people have just grown tired of the attitudes and misbehaviors
