No racism has ever passed through my sound system; and I’ve had these Jensen LS6 and LS4 loudspeakers since 1980.

Racism is just another tool in the box of the powerful. It can be used to award or withhold. It is a TAX on humanity.

The garden variety racism born out of observation and experiences may be valid.

Sometimes 2 + 2 + 4. In fact and indeed (in deed too)!

Your mileage may vary.

I'd say definitely not OK.

But the current insane hysteria about it makes it worse.

Black fatigue is spreading, and the opposite of love is not hate- it is indifference and contempt.

Are some racist slurs ok? Of course! “Honky” and “cracker “ and a million others uttered by blacks anytime they feel like it.

And white boy. Don’t forget white boy. Regardless of the man’s age.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

During recent controversies over leaks at the Pentagon, former UN Ambassador Susan Rice, during the Obama administration, injected race by smearing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. She leveled a trifecta race/gender/sexual orientation slur—all irrelevant to the issue at hand: “Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.”
Susan Rice still chafes that as a sometimes-official Obama administration spokeswoman, she serially and deliberately misled the country about the fatal 2012 terrorist attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi.

Missed the VDH ping, but a serious article that deserves a read.
