The only “structural racism” in this country now is LIBERALISM.

The Democrats need “racism”, real or imagined. Without “racism”, there would be no Democrat Party.

....”blacks despite actual racism, wish to live among whites because they know their lives will be better”.....

As soon as a black person excels in his community...via education or opportunity that lifts him above the fray....they will always move to white communities...even when they may continue to be actively trying to change the black communities.

I have worked with a woman I asked why she chose to live in a white neighborhood....she said exactly as you stated. She wanted opportunity for her children they would not have otherwise...simple manners and how to conduct yourself in the working world. She said it was the best decision she had made in her life. Her children now grown are all successful.

When I read stuff like this about blacks “suffering” under racism I like to think about Floyd Mayweather being paid $300 million a few months ago for one single solitary boxing match. A black high school dropout making $300 million, some say it may reach as high as $420 million for “performing” which is what that fraud of a fight was, for a couple hours. Oh the racism in the USA! When will it ever end.

Voting Democrat is a form of ‘racism’ because the policies are job killers and often immoral like abortions which kill many black babies. Liberals are blind and need the waking up instead.

I’d settle for black people waking up before noon.

oday’s Dream is that white America will somehow wake up and understand that racism makes black America’s problems insurmountable.


In a way, that is what they want. But it is not the end game. The ultimate goal is reparations forever & ever.

I was brought up to be feel that blacks had gotten a raw deal in the past, and to be careful to be open-minded about the black people I met.

Now, a couple of generations later, after many observations, I’m more prejudiced than ever.

I can still relate just find to individual blacks, but like Jesse Jackson, I’ve drawn conclusions about the averages, in my case based on personal experience.

So voting for the black president twice didn’t fix all the ‘racial issues’?

The amount of cant on racial issues is staggering. I would love to meet a white who could honestly declare he lost a meal or a nights sleep because the negro was once held in slavery and/or segregated.

From the Bible to people like these Black radicals:

Remove the beam from your own eye before you pick at the splinters of your neighbor’s eye.

Jesus knew what he was talking about.

For the most part normal people understand that the majority of the black community is racist far beyond the wildest fever-dreams of Malcom-X.

The disease is called an addiction, the drug is the political and socialist syringes passed out for decades by corroptocrats who love to create dependents and grow big government.
So, now that years have gone by and the addiction has destroyed a once healthy family structure (70% born and raised in absent father homes) the progressives must confess the dangers and failings of their drugs but at the same time offer their equally corrupt solution: New Drugs!

They are correct about calling out the war on drugs....it is their war, their drugs and the bodies piled up around them are the fruits of their failed social engineering.

Free markets and free enterprise benefit all freeman. That is the strength and truly most liberating aspect of a people who are neither dependent on or being manipulated through a tyrannical government.

Americans used to know this until the corroptocrats, aided by the drug pushers (media), began their doping campaigns.

If they’re really that freakin’ unhappy here, then move to the Caribbean or Africa where their race is much less a factor. Seriously, love it or leave it. Take your problems and opportunities elsewhere, then you don’t have whites or Asians to blame or hate anymore.

Just do it.

That is more of a pipedream than the next “civil” war.

Yup.

Except I was not raised to be kid-glove with them, just to ignore the visual cues.

Not at all the fault of my parents how I have experienced the set, both personally and via news.
