Good article. Anyone who actually tries to have an honest conversation about the radical politics sweeping our cities is immediately branded a White Supremacist. I’m not playing that game.
The topic that cannot be discussed. “Shut Up!” they explained.
Honest dialogue is not part of this attempted coup! Nor is honesty itself. Remember, rip van biden already said they’ll choose truth over fact. And they’ll tell you what truth to believe.
The Left’s discussion on racism: “Shut up, you racist!”
When the Left asks for a “dialog” or a “conversation”, they mean only one thing. They want to lecture you while you silently listen.
But it doesn’t end there. After the lecture you must agree with everything you were told. Even a 99% agreement isn’t good enough.
Leftist: Do you agree with what I just said?
Citizen: I agree with everything except the part about removing Lincoln’s statue.
Leftist: You filthy racist!
“Honest dialogue” = you listening and agreeing with them. It’s meant that for years.
After the statues come down, military installation names are changed, white virtue is signaled, police are defunded, etc., is it likely, as a result, that drugs will disappear from their street corners or education will be more valued or crime rates will decline or the teenage illegitimacy rates will recede or more black fathers will stay in the home? Doubtful when 95% of their effort is looking for blame for the dysfunction in the community outside the community while only 5% is spent on realistically trying to confront the root causes and toxic values within the community that cause it.
Great article but it still advocates playing on their turf.
I find in general, black people are willing to talk honestly about it.
It’s the white liberals that hurl insults and call you ‘racist’.
I joke that the Black radicals, are just white liberals in a black body.
I have no interest in a “national dialogue” about anything.
This is NOT about "dialogue" or "compromise.
These idiots don't even know what some of these statues represent.
see my tagline....
Or people who celebrate that the sum accomplishment of the Civil Rights movement was that black people can say a word that white people can’t.
Noticed this on other boards and forums
That “honest discussion about race“ that Eric Holder said but never followed up on for obvious reasons never happens because liberals in general and blacks in particular deny any defects in their culture behavior and words
They are always right always victims and always with their hands out
Any discussion would have to include basic biological and cognitive indicators based in genetics.
And THAT will never be allowed to take place. So no chance of an honest dialogue.
Easier to just blame whitey.
My approach when people say that we should have an honest conversation about race.
Do not argue. Ask. It goes something like this:
Q “Why do we need a conversation?”
A So people can learn.
Q Wouldn’t a lecture be better for learning than a conversation?
A1: Yes.
If so, then we do not need a conversation. Thank you.
A2: (something like this) People learn better from conversations.
Q: So people on both sides would say things that are right, and then they would both agree? In that case, what’s the point of a conversation?
A: No people would voice their views and then other people could show them where they are wrong and help them learn.
Q: OK give me an example of something that you believe is wrong, but it would be good for people to verbalize it.
A variation of this approach in Constitutional discussions: give me an example of a government policy that you believe to be wrong but if voters voted for it that’s their prerogative and the court would have no reason to strike it down.
“Establishment Republicans made the same mistake by ignoring the movement’s radical premise”
That’s the history of the established Republicans. At the first sign of Democrats being aggressive the they faint until things calm down again. Then they blather about what should have been done.
I believe you may be right, but the ones I see and hear on my local media don’t act that way.
The racism card is over played due to the election honesty has little to do with the actions going on.
Felons slackers and every small time crooks hate cops because the get busted time to realize the gravy train is derailed.
Racism is what some want it to be facts or not.
