It's Not Race That Divides Us, But Culture
American Thinker ^ | Jeffrey T. Brown

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:28:02 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The racialists in power have again called us to an “honest discussion” about race. As they foresee it, this honest discussion will involve those of us who do not practice racism, but are not black, to come forward, confess our inherent racism, and be duly chastised or punished. Dialogue is not going to be part of the process, since non-blacks have already been found guilty, and the president’s jury is not remotely interested in evidence.

The trap in the president’s faux invitation is that it focuses our attention on the wrong component. The emphasis on race assumes too much, but does so because it advances the agenda of dividing us on grand scales, which is more conducive to the illusion of victimhood and the cure of entitlement. To divide by race in the way practiced by the president and the left enables them to hide one set of social realities from scrutiny, while predetermining the fault of another social set, based entirely on the colors of their skin, as long as it is understood that the guilty are not black. How is it possible that two or more groups, coincidentally divided by skin color, live in the same country but do not live in the same reality?

To hear our black, democratically elected president tell it, our dystopian nation is a hellhole of virulent racism. Thus, every thought, word or action that is critical of the president, and those who peddle racial victimhood and entitlement, is inherently racist. This is the rationale of a leftist, of a simpleton, because there is far too much history and evidence to the contrary to entertain it as serious. No nation on Earth more consciously ensures equality of treatment than ours.

No, it’s worse than that.

We are being divided purposely.

There are those who profit greatly by exploiting this division.

it was during Obie from Nairobi's First Term as ROTUS that Mrs Holders lil boy RIcky accused us of being afraid ti "talk about" race .

One would have thought that those hearing such TRIPE would have remembered his statement with enough disdain to ensure the defeat and removal of the ROTUS in the 2012 election.

The only thing wrong with "race relations" in the USA is that too many people are afraid to call a RACIST a RACIST! Which brings us up to date.

When presented with such foolish unpleasantness WE must be prepared to eradicate those infestations with calm reasoned IMMEDIATE responses, rather than cowering in silence.

the CHILDREN,.....are watching!

And don’t forget good vs evil. I have many friends that are different races that I get along with and fratenize with all the time with no problems at all but they are good, hardworking Christians. In fact I practiced music with ablack & hispanic member of the P & W team last night for two hours. Love those people to death. It truly is a good vs evil thing for me.

So called "Black Culture" is a false construct that didn't exist prior to the civil rights era. The democrats needed it to create a point of division.

Men like George Washington Carver and his contemporaries didn't seek a separate culture. They sought to be part of American culture. They dressed as other Americans did, they didn't make up fake African names, they didn't create a fake language. They just wanted to be typical Americans.

The Race-Baiter-in-Chief gets on Twitter, his cohorts answer with vile racist comments attributed to White conservatives by the Democrat media, and they have “evidence” against all Whites. Children are taught to hate Whites in their homes and schools all the way through the required diversity classes in college.

How long until Whites will sleep with their guns, as they must do in South Africa?

I am not enthusiastic about humans who do not keep Judeo/Christian values except in the sense of Deuteronomy 4:19 and Malachi 1:11.

Carver himself was born into slavery but didn’t seek revenge. He sought to rebuild the south and help poor farmers with things like soil conservation methods and better crop rotation schedules. (Peanut research was actually only a small part of what he did)

“We are being divided purposely. There are those who profit greatly by exploiting this division.”........

Finally someone has a simple explanation that no one can deny.

The center holds. A preponderance of people refuse to be moved by the culture destroying antics of our current dystopic president. The sheer magnitude of his destruction, globally, is preposterous. Nevertheless, an increasing population of sensible citizens are standing against these antics and insisting upon the power and authenticity of traditional American culture.
The center holds.

“We are being divided purposely."

The purpose of dividing us, as well as the other actions of Traitorobama and his demonicrat regime, is to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Yeah. And the degenerate aspects of black culture are being force-fed to us by the media. It's not just that the worst of black, Hispanic, and white cultures are presented as the norm. It's that everything that made western culture and achievement so phenomenal for over a thousand years is being replaced. Just as all historic signs of great achievement in the ME are being destroyed by ISIS.

It's global. And it's about destroying anything that's not controlled or at least manipulated by the elite.

Agreed, and the divide is being neutered by those who seek the downfall of our nation and Christian values.

General rule of thumb: Those who fail to acclimate to the dominant culture while living within the boundaries of said culture will never be properly equipped to thrive.

By choice and now more likely by design, they will face a future of "butthurt" courtesy of those who deceived them into believing it was best to reject said cultural values.

So called “Black Culture” is effectively an oxymoron. There is no black culture. If left to their own devices blacks have demonstrated a proclivity to devolve to their savage roots.

I recall that picture from my school days and ho they extolled its virtues. It wasn’t so much a lie as it was a proposition of planting seeds in sterile ground. It didn’t take and in its place a much cruder, much more cynical world view developed.

The funny (not funny haha) thing is that the left now owns the culture - the very culture that the blacks are exploiting and crapping on. The left has built an open sewer and a significant portion of the population - including most blacks - are happy to swim in it.

For all the alienation that blacks complain about they aren’t as alienated from the America I grew up in as I am.
