We are rvt back in the middle ages with book burnings again. Sa d. We used to be an advanced society, but thanks to miserable people who can’t stand other people not being miserable too, we are right back in the middle ages. No books with opposing views, no gasoline powered vehicles if they get their way, no eating and raising meat, etc. There are other examples of devolution too, too tired to think of them now
The real change is that the fundamentals behind improving race relations used to be respect for other people and recognition of their humanity. Now, racism games are played to generate political advantage.
THAT makes all the difference in the world.
Well it sure won’t help ‘race relations’
Our goal should be policies that encourage people to WANT to hire blacks — due to qualifications and hard work Instead, the left has encouraged a victimhood mentality, discouraged pursuit of excellence, and is continually trying to FORCE people to hire them. Who needs to work for an employer who has been forced to hire him?
I find it interesting that liberals today cry that others cannot possibly understand the minority experience, cannot possibly portray minorities of today in any real sense, cannot possibly divine the thoughts of minorities; yet those same minorities will not hesitate to declare the thoughts and intentions of people who lived long ago, like Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee and others. We minorities are omniscient. Whites are not.
Innocent people get their lives ruined by FAKE accusations by liberal bullies ... legitimate victims of liberal lynch mobs. And everyone else is scared of social justice jihadis and segregates for their literal safety.

The cancel culture is working hard to entrench racist thinking.
They have cancelled Native Americans: the Washington Redskins now has some stupid generic name. I heard of another team that also erased its ties to Native American culture, but I forget its name.
They are now working on cancelling black entrepreneurs: Aunt Jemima, the stage name/brainchild of a freed slave woman has now been erased. Expect other icons of black entrepreneurs to disappear as well: Uncle Ben and Famous Amos are two more targets for cancel culture.
Eventually, if cancel culture has its way, the only people one may acknowledge to exist are white non-hispanics. Acknowledging anyone else would be strictly taboo.
Cancel culture is creating an intensely resented privileged class - as I believe it is intended to. Stoking the fires of racial division benefits the collectivists.
“it sure won’t help ‘race relations’”
Very true. Not only that, it breeds resentment and anger in the majority of Americans and likely leads us straight to CW II and/or splitting the country.
It always astonishes me that, throughout history, a vocal, organized and driven minority can run roughshod over the vast majority. The irony is that the Founders worked very hard to craft the best governance system possible to avoid a true democratic majority group from crushing a minority group. Here we are today with the exact opposite — the minority group of SJWs / Wokesters crushing the majority.
At least I still think the NORMALS are in the majority. Maybe not.
All this "woke" nonsense has absolutely driven us apart and into our own segregated groups. Probably the opposite of what was intended - or was it?
They don’t care about racism. They only want to destroy our culture.
Of course there's a way to know. You can examine Theodore Geisel's body of work, use common sense, and extend the benefit of doubt to a fellow creature until conclusive evidence otherwise exists.
Are IQs really dropping this fast?
Aimhigh.....you get it. So many still do not. They think we can reason and debate ourselves out of this. Calling us names, etc are tools they use to destroy our nation.
Cancel all elected democrats - solves everything.
I won’t have anything to do with blacks or other so called ‘disenfranchised’.
Screw em all.
I didn’t use to be like that.
Sorry, but I have to challenge that. Not because I have a problem with it - and when I am in the States I do keep my distance from certain ethnicities - but because what you said is just plain silly. So, because of ‘woke’ nonsense, your solution is to not only have nothing to do with Blacks but that they can all be screwed? And that you never at all felt that way before? Doesn’t make sense. Do you feel the same way about the millions of whites people who are rabid Democrats? The vast majority of Dem voters in numbers are whites people; the vapid ivory towers of academia that pump out liberal indoctrination to millions of young minds are primarily staffed by white peoples; the main stream media and their propaganda are - outside a couple talking heads here and there - overwhelmingly whites people; even the vast majority of people who buy rap crap music are white people.
If most white people would realize the importance of keeping America strong, keep government small, not vote in liberal policies that inevitably weaken the economy and society, realize America is a special country in a dark world, and not dilute the economic principles of hard work and high ambition that made the American Dream a reality - if that one demographic adhered to that, it wouldn’t matter if even 100% of blacks, Hispanics, Asians, aborigines, green martians votes Liberal!
Unfortunately that’s not the case, and unfortunately the fastest growing Liberal-voting demographic is white peoples. Especially young white people, college educated white people, and white women. The shift towards the Left will be white people.
Which is why I find it a little bit funny all this angst towards blacks.
But it’s a free world, and as I mentioned it’s not as if there is any love lost between me (like most Africans) and African-American blacks. When I visit the US I actually dress in full suit and tie every day to differentiate myself from them.
I just find it funny all the same the constant focus on one demographic thy doesn’t add much, and ignoring your own demographic (assuming you’re white, apologies sir/ma’am if I am wrong) that is THE actual group that is taking America to hell in a handbasket.
By the way, this is the same reason I find groups like StormFront and their ilk ridiculous. It’s not their beliefs, which are ok in my opinion. People can believe in whatever they want. Apparently in Australia ‘Jedi’ is an actual religion one can tick in their population census. What makes me laugh is their focus on one specific sliver of society and their ignorance of the veritable tsunami of adverse change happening around them.
Like a cricket chirping in anger because they saw some insectivore bird flying about, and yet in their endless cacophony of stridulation they ignore the fact that the whole prairie is on fire and they are about to be engulfed in flame.
Hilarious. Sad too though because in the end nothing is done to stop the tsunami of Liberalism. I personally believe a lot of this ‘woke’ stuff is to get reactions from people and have them focus on such stuff, while a lot of funny immigration (from outside the country plus from Liberal states to Conservative ones) is happening to turn certain states like Texas blue.
Crappy spell check - ‘whites people’ should be ‘white people.’
Also apologies for saying ‘what you said was plain silly.’ It wasn’t, and I apologize. Words such as ‘silly’ are silly to use. Apologies
