... the anti-racism industry, which increasingly appears to be an anti-white movement, has quite falsely stated that the virtues needed for success in society and in the world are characteristics of “whiteness,” rather than characteristics of success. The alleged characteristics of “whiteness” are a devotion to hard work as a means to success, rational, logical thinking, belief in science, postponement of gratification, speaking standard American English, searching for correct answers, politeness and courtesy, promptness, quantitative emphasis, two-parent families, respect for authority, and devotion to occupation. If these are characteristics of “whiteness,” everyone needs more of them, not less. And what, then, are the characteristics of “blackness”? Are we to believe that African Americans disdain these values and hold opposite ones: avoiding work, illogical thinking, immediate gratification, not searching for right answers, rejection of authority, rudeness, etc.? These claims of “whiteness” raise the question: How on earth did middle-class African Americans ever get there?
The anti-racism industry is not about justice, it is about power for the few: race activists who gain fame and fortune raced baiting, and the Democrat Party that secures the votes of African Americans and the fortunes that come with office. Whites get nothing but vilified, and African Americans get to think of themselves as helpless victims. What a legacy!

Racism is a learned behavior. The 800 lb gorilla in the room is: Why are blacks discriminated against to a larger degree than other minorities in the US? The solution doesn’t really start with non-blacks...that’s been tried a bazillion times before. It needs to start within the black community and until that’s been tried, I’m not buying into this White Supremacy BS.
Someone needs to have the courage to deal with the problems in the black culture.
The biggest lie by far and the one causing all this racial turmoil and the total self-abasement and self flagellation on the part of whites, is the false assumption that “all races on AVERAGE are the same and have similar abilities” despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
If you accept that lie and one easily identifiable group of people consistently performs worse in life than other groups, there is only one inescapable confusion - they are being “oppressed”. And who is the oppressor?
I think you know the answer and if you continue this line of logic you will inescapably arrive to where we are today.
My dog loves my cat. They get along well.
My other dog hates my cat. Is that racism?
Apparently Asian Americans have been tossed from the People of Color systemic racism clubhouse by progressives.They are now part of the oppressor class alongside the Great White Satan, Unfortunately, success has a way of doing that to groups when progressives shuffle the skin pigmentation cards to determine winners and losers in their little victimhood game.
Your kids too smart? Racis’!
The media are owned & controled by the same folks who push ‘racism’.
Look up the origin of that word and you will find those SAME PEOPLE.
But we are not supposed to talk about that.
“If you accept that lie”
If you do not accept that lie you will be branded, by those who invented that lie, as a ‘racist’.
My other dog hates my cat. Is that racism?
Only if the cat is black.
“If you do not accept that lie you will be branded, by those who invented that lie, as a ‘racist’.”
Learn to embrace the insult, and then kick them in the balls.
As long as we are terrified of an insult ww’ll continue to be toast.
Not “confusion” - should be “conclusion”.
Equity = Take from Whitey + Give to Blackey.
Always and everywhere.
Your 1st paragraph is true. But ignores non-intellectual characteristics, eg. motor functions like athletics and musical abilities . These tend to compensate.
Most of the problems Blacks suffer in comparison to other Americans can be traced to the lack of a stable and nurturing home life, and specifically to the absence of fathers.
However, to the extent that for a family to receive government assistance official rules require that no adult males be present in the home, the welfare system is perpetuating social disintegration of the Black family.
No need to capitalize black around here....unless at the beginning of a sentence.

Things changed after CRA’64 was passed.
Someone needs to have the courage to deal with the problems in the black culture.I taught at an urban black high school. Banned was the phrase, "middle class values," yet the school's mission was precisely to reward students for employing those values of hard work, honesty, and community.
“Your 1st paragraph is true. But ignores non-intellectual characteristics, eg. motor functions like athletics and musical abilities . These tend to compensate.”
No I don’t ignore the fact that in some activities blacks do better (that only reinforces what I said in the 1st paragraph, ie races can have different abilities). In athletics blacks seem to have an edge, in music closer to a tie. But do you think that the few that are successful in those fields compensate with the millions that do significantly worse than whites in everyday life?
And it is the average, the masses, that drives a society policies. That combined with the strong affinity that people have for their own race/group.
It’s why a millionaire black athlete like Kaepernick (and others) that have it made are still impelled to publicly protest the “injustices” of this society when they see millions of “their own brothers” perpetually occupying the lower rungs of society.
And because they believe the lie that all races are the same, the only conclusion that one can draw from that is that one group is intentionally oppressing another. And that inescapably leads to the insane world we live in today
