Racism in America Today: A Real or Manufactured Problem?
TomKlingenstein ^ | 08/16/23 | Tom Klingenstein

Posted on 08/18/2023 9:43:31 AM PDT by PoliticallyShort

While nobody denies that racist people exist all over the world, including in the U.S., racism in America today is, to a very significant degree, a manufactured problem, crafted by woke Leftists in order to overthrow the American way of life. The Left claims there exists an intolerable, all-pervasive system of white oppression and if you disagree, they will destroy you and may even inflict violence.

The woke tell us that racism has gotten worse, but this is drivel. As I explain in my speech “Racism in America Today,” the less actual racism there is, the more of it the woke Left insists it sees. The woke Left accuse America of being “systemically racist” not because it’s true, nor even because they think it’s true, but because it is the most powerful weapon in their arsenal.

The woke tell young black Americans they cannot succeed in America because America is fundamentally a racist country. The woke Leftists assault our history, making it a story of nonstop, hateful racist oppression to fan the flames of resentment. This is perhaps the cruelest part of their agenda: to actively discourage children from pursuing a life of moral, spiritual, and cultural excellence. Too few Republican politicians are willing to speak truthfully and openly about the tactics and goals of the woke agenda. By remaining silent and not speaking the truth, the truth itself becomes impossible to recognize as propaganda tightens its grip.

Yep. We were reaching toward a color-blind society.

In the 90s we had:

Free Your Mind
And the rest will follow
Be colorblind
Don't be so shallow

So much for that!

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-work yesterday. she said she was not into labradors, golden retrievers collies and german shepherds because they were white people dogs.
I could not stop from saying she was a racist. That I heavily but not exclusively associated german shepherds with bad neighborhoods.

Racism against whites is real and the lawsuit payouts confirm that

There’s a lot of racism. There is one group that seems to particularly hate Asians, and it’s a group that enjoys FULL victimhood status and all the privileges that go with it.

It’s the group that is begging politicians for undeserved reparations. It’s the group that calls a Chinese restaurant for delivery, and attacks and kills the delivery guy and eats the food. Without paying. And it blames Whitey for its pathologies.

Racism in America is REAL.

Racism in American is also a MANUFACTURED PROBLEM.

The real issue is that it is both REAL on one side of the political aisle, and a MANUFACTURED PROBLEM created on that SAME side.

Full points for you!

Much of the issue for the blacks is the destruction of the black family by LBJ’s social engineering. He got rid of the need for a continuous father figure resulting in dickweeds
Unmanageable feral youth who identify as Africans and not Americans.

It’s a real problem. Just not in the way the liberal media wants you to believe. Just go spend some time around an office full of black women especially those between the ages of 25-55 and you’ll get a healthy dose of racism and airing of the grievances on a daily basis.
