Come on people, Racisim is a social construct used to shift power. It's being wielded by people who are, by definition, being racist themselves in the very act of using the term.



Anyone who says something along the lines of "Old white guys..." is, by definition, being racist (and sexist, and ageist) by making observations based ONLY on skin color, gender and age. If you have EVER looked at someone who doesn't have the Exact same heritage as you, and thought something bad about them... guess what, you're a racist.


Now, since we're ALL racist, every last one of us (well, above the age of 8 or so ~ young kids don't care), what value does the term have? Yeah? You want to sling poo? Guess what, you're handling that poo first... it's on Your hands.

who cares. the term "racist" no longer has any meaning. it means what the media wants it to mean at the time.

No, because there are still actual instances of racism. Problem is many of the instances of racism will not be recognized as such because the racist attacker has dark skin (black or Latino).

I'm an old white guy too, genius. And not a race baiting liberal either. But to completely discount the overwhelming preponderance of evidence that black people, and particularly black young men, are treated unfairly in society is being an ostrich. All your equivocating doesn't amount to anything.

The Democrats only strategy is Divisive Identity Politics. That is ALL they have, so no, they will not stop using the Race Card. Nor will they stop trying to divide us by Gender, Sexual Orientation, Ethnicity, Religion, Economic Status, etc. The MEDIA also feeds off of this as mostly an arm of the Democrat Party. Therefore they add fuel to the fire, in order to advance the Leftist Agenda of divide, and conquer, and to get ratings.

Fox News INVENTED divisive politics. The only strategy the Republicans have is to blame left, very vociferously, for doing what they themselves do all the time. It's a game, blame democrats without any indication they've done something (via"opinion" tv news shows), for already having done what we are about to do and it won't seem so bad that we're doing it.

We see this clearly and without any room for argument, because they have ALL the levers of power and they still don't know what they want to do and fail to do anything most of the time. Except for borrow and spend...they're going gang busters on that front. The least conservative thing I can think of and the behavior, which as individual they admit is bad but apparently countries are exempt, that will ruin you.

You go ahead

Remember when you all thought women were treated equally all the time everywhere and women had to stop demanding equal pay --

Yeah you were wrong then too.

We see it weekly on here with the videos posted. Just watch some of the Blacks in power get pulled over for speeding and watch them pull out the "You only stopped me because you're a Racist" along with "Do you know who I am?" card.
