Title says it all. I see FReepers twisting in knots trying to defend their un-racist positions. Oh course they are not racists. The Racism (or newly minted white supremacist) charge is meant to divide and distract people.
Later
Then as it became more and more common, it became almost a badge of honor to be called a racist because you knew your opponent had nothing else in their quiver to fire. They'd run out of legitimate arguments so they fell back on the reliable ad hominem attack.
Now it is so commonplace as to be meaningless. Nobody cares anymore. So you're a racist. Big deal. What else is new?
We've reached the point where if everybody and everything thing are racist, then nothing is racist. It carries no negative impact anymore.
It actually reflects worse on the person who hurls the term as an attack, than the person being called a racist.
We've come full circle.
All this BLM and woke hooey is just another play at keeping blacks on the plantation. It is doing nothing to improve their stations in life. It only spot lights how some groups can’t pull themselves up. There is no reason black schools can’t graduate intelligent students but it always has been the case.
Back in the early 1970s, the Dallas, TX school district was up in arms that black schools were complete failures so they began busing blacks kids to predominately white schools and white kids to predominately black schools. What a complete mess. I lived 4 houses from the high school but wouldn’t have been allowed to attend it until my senior year. Yeah, my family joined the white flight and moved hundreds of miles away after the first year of thugs being bused into my once nice quiet school where there was then so much violence we had to be locked in our classrooms and metal gates were installed in the hallways.
The problem isn’t skin color, it’s culture.
BLM has proactively caused me to believe blacks are generally DANGEROUS.
I didn’t feel that way before.
