Growing up, I never thought much about race. I was a teenager in the 80’s, had a few black friends, but never thought of them as different than me. Of course, I noticed that they were black, but it didn’t change the way I interacted with them or change the way I felt about them. I felt that the feeling was mutual.

Today, I feel like I always need to be on my toes around African-Americans. I feel that the Democrats have done an amazing job of making division in society...not that there wasn’t division before...they have just multiplied it. The African-American community has no one to blame but the party that has always betrayed them.

The British were the ones who ended the slave trade.

A problem created by the media, black folks and self loathing white folks.... oh well. Sad way to live life.... I could care less about their black identity any more than my white one. If only they could understand this simple sentiment shared by 99% of all Americans.

The word black appears about 25 times in that short excerpt of the article. That confirms the central point of the article.

The democrats encourage this kind of narrow thinking so they can control blacks better. Democrats tell them that Whitey is keeping them down, and that if they will just vote democrat Whitey will be made to pay, and they can blame Whitey for their failures.

I don’t see any whites pretending that race issues are going to go away.

We know better simply from watching the news.

Until and unless certain political (liberals) and ethnic groups (and not just blacks) stop beating the racial drum and making every single stinking thing about race, it’s not going anywhere.

Classic projection at this point.

They also enjoyed it for centuries and promoted it across their empire.

Wilberforce fought for his whole adult life to end it in Britain, unsuccessfully in his lifetime, I believe.

There are lots of ways to enslave. Not all require literal chains.

It means that Deep State has done a very good job seeing to it that many blacks identify themselves by their skin color and nothing else.

People who believe this have allowed Deep State to set a value on them.

Slavery exists, but now it’s indentured servitude. To Deep State.

The data point is interesting, but I have no idea what it means.

I think the data point is one of “currency”. There is a cost benefit in the black identity. The racial quota system along with the diversity, inclusion and equity agenda are allowing the individuals to have benefits. If the agenda is kept alive through the constant indoctrination that black skin individuals are “victims” then that means they are “owed” something of value. The people that need to pay the debt that is owed are the non-black members of the society that we live in. We have to face the fact that we are now living in a society of “sanctioned racism”. It would be interesting to note how many blacks that were polled know how blacks sold other blacks into slavery?

The problem in a nutshell.

__________________________________

Actually it’s not a problem for them. They exert a political influence out of all proportion to their numbers and they are a solid voting block. Conservatives like to claim that blacks are voting against themselves by voting Dem, but that’s just something conservatives tell themselves to feel better. Black Americans are simply using the system to transfer wealth to themselves. One can argue that they could never do it without the help of White voters, but that’s OUR (white peoples) problem...not theirs.

Deep State has other ways of getting other skin colors to come to heel.

It pits them against one another, impoverishes them, indoctrinated them in schools, pushes drugs to get them stoned...

Freedom-loving Americans of every skin color need to understand that we have only one enemy.

Deep State.

I get it. The good they did doesn’t count then, right?

If enough people of color were still falling for Deep State’s cr@p, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections.

They’re not.

And that the problem for Deep State.

They also arguably started it. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

"Do Whites and Asians feel the same?"

I'd say a lot of Asians are very racist, especially Chinese (particularly Han).

Yeah, but they may not be done stealing elections. Only time will tell, but somehow I don’t think these urban Political machines are going away.

Thats a good sign, actually, that Deep State needs to keep stealing elections.

It means that our fellow citizens are far more savvy that some give them credit for being.

We need to stop allowing Deep State to pit us against one another.

Deep State is the enemy.
