The LWNJ ideology of fighting racism with more racism, and dividing and sorting people into boxes, is racist and destructive to the core values of this once-great nation.
If this kerfuffle in Missouri has taught us anything, it's that reverse-racism is in full-effect in the United States.
I voted YES only because it's the closest thing to the truth.
Is there racism, YES
Is it a problem, only for those who are so fragile that any and everything they disagree with hurts them.
I do not believe there's such a thing as reverse racism, because racism is racism... PERIOD!
Lately, people are being called out for every little thing, whether it's a thought, a word, a picture they took decades ago, the food they eat, the cars they drive, the brand they wear, the phones they use, the color of their skin and their religion...etc. These instigators are anti-social pea brained anarchists who don't give a rats ass about whether or not their "cause" is even legit.
It's certainly a world I wouldn't want to live in if they are in charge.
If this kerfuffle in Missouri has taught us anything, it's that reverse-racism is in full-effect in the United States. Three white individuals have now resigned for alleged racist events that they in no way participated in. The most recently casualty is a professor who wrote an email to his students by saying the following:
"If you give in to bullies, they win," Brigham wrote. "The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them. If we cancel the exam, they win; if we go through with it, they lose."
Anyone who believes that certain "races" of people are somehow immune to being racists because of their "race," is very certainly a racist.
And that is true regardless of what that person's skin color is, or what sort of self-serving explanation that anyone comes up with to try to excuse their racism.
no, but if the conversation is about reparations, does that mean an attempt will be made to go after the descendents of the African kings and rulers who benefited from the triangle trade?
The U.S. government, not long dead Southern planters, bears the blame for slavery. It encoded it in the Constitution in article one.
What you are describing is institutional racism, which minorities cannot be guilty of, but they absolutely CAN be guilty of racism and many are.
Excuse me? Barrack Obama identifies as a minority as do many others in his administration and in government and private sector and guilty of institutional racism.
Whites themselves are guilty of allowing and committing institutionalized racism against whites but so do minorities.
It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are. Someone hates on you.
