Thread: Racism - Let's talk about it.....

A white man says the same thing, sees no color, and he's still called, "Racist".

By the way, I fucking hate Critical Race Theory. It should be banned in most states.

It should be uprooted from every ounce of soil it permeated!

Fuck the past, it's like walking around with one's head up their ass both individually and or collectively!

And you're not COLORED! Neither are white people, because black and white are not a COLOR! Red and yellow mthfkrs are the ones that are COLORED, and being tainted myself with red makes me more COLORED than you, as well as rest of me that isn't red! A red yellow mthrfkr is the most COLORED a person can be!

Someone needs to put the proper meaning back in words again!

I find it hard to believe that people think that:

a) Racism does not exist, and
b) Fighting racism (even derided as "wokeism") is a wrong thing to do.

In our hyper-partisan world, BOTH sides lean towards the extreme and away from reason and pragmatism.

One side claims to fight racism, but is more interested in demonizing than problem-solving.

The other side doubles down on ignorant bigotry towards Mexicans, Muslims, and whoever else - and then screams bloody murder that they are 'persecuted' by the 'woke mob' despite engaging in obvious bigotry.

In short, tribalized partisanship is NOT a way to address complex problems like racial cohesion. Mob-rule idiocracy and politicized culture makes the problem harder to solve. When both sides are on war footing, there is no hope because the solution requires understanding and adaptation by all sides.

Precisely!

Disgust? Occasionally but rarely.

Sometimes when I think of us collectively I feel sorrowful for the pitiless fuckers we seem to be.

Mostly though I see it as hilarious; everyone running around shouting and screaming about their own little agenda as if it’s the most important topic on the planet.

When it comes to racism though (and every other form of bigotry) I have only one concern:

WHAT IS THE INTENT!

This is where true racism lies, not in some moralistic standpoint about incidental offence that is taken when none is intended.

So kids can embrace every culture except their own, this is to make them "World Citizens". They are showing their true colours now, we always knew it was about Globalization but now they are no longer hiding it.

Pure out-and-out self-loathing.

Everyone is great except you.

And this is considered somehow beneficial by today’s standards? Then again it’s nothing new.

“Pride cometh before the fall”. Isn’t pride supposedly one of the seven “deadly” sins. I never did quite get this term, surely a sin is a sin is a sin.

Translation:

Don’t believe in yourself, believe in others. Be a good sheep.

Excellent point, one I will bring up to discuss the term "African American". Thanks.
