Let Us by All Means Have an Honest Conversation About Race

That can never happen any more. The left has so overused calls of racism that we have become a nation beaten into silence for fear of being called racists.

When your ideology is logically indefensible, you have to have a club of some sort to beat your enemies into silence.

the only conversations about race that are permitted are politically correct conversations. Such as, minorities have been oppressed, there are vestiges of discrimination out there, should we have reparations for slavery, 50+ years after the Brown decision, too many minorities get inferior educations, in spite of the War of Poverty of the ‘60s, minorities are still dis-proportionately grappling with poverty. We all know what political correctness allows in terms of talking about race, and what types of discussions aren’t allowed. Since we all know those ground rules, why even talk about it anymore?

Racism is a term invented by Marxists in the 1930’s to create an angry underbelly in the U.S. - of course, it’s working now but soon it will lose its sting.
