Wrong again. Are you just making things up?
Just like the mutt did, here is the definition of racism

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

There is nothing there that says anything about a majority race. Why do you persist in using non facts in your posts?

Racism is world wide and ... which "race" is the largest, which is second largest and ... ?

No. It never works out well. Both ways.

How about the pervasive attack by the left on the 'white conservative male' ? We see constant virtue displays of liberals on TV or social media professing their shame for being born white. Then, some non whites complaining about how everything bad in their life is all about white privilege. Constant snickers by the left on Trump's 'orange' skin, what if a skin tone issue was made about Obama, would that be just hilarious too?

I don't know what the true agenda of the progressive left is, what with all the hate on the pale skin, but it's blatant racism, and anyway, 'racism' as a word has now been flung by the left on every single person who has not sworn fealty to the Squad, and so now this overused and worn out term is about a serious a charge as calling someone by the wrong last name.

I am enjoying the emergence of the black conservatives on FB, Insta and Twitter... more and more are emerging and fighting back these stereotypes of progressive black people claiming all the crap they are claiming. These conservatives pop their hot air balloons quite effectively.

I'm not aware of this pervasive attack but your question makes me wonder if these mean people who are doing all of this attacking are attacking Trump style conservatism or race because you conflated both in your sentence and as far as I know disliking a political philosophy is not racism or reverse racism or whatever you want to call it

Why is this thread about Trump and racism?

Thought it was about why us ex-Californians still post on the California board.

2sleepy, you can't comment on my posts, and I don't read your posts, because you take offense too easily when people disagree with you, remember?

jcp123, yes, as usual, threads get hijacked to the same ole issues.

Makes city-data increasingly boring. I check back here less and less. No intelligent and honest conversation, well, except in the Arizona boards where we actually talk about real issues appropriate to this forum.

You are correct and I admit I am guilty. (Moderators should probably step in and put this back on the tracks.) The initial post implied ex Californians had no business posting. I disagree. If someone has been here 69 years and then moves, he STILL has a lot of goodness to add.

Sad but true. The original question is lost. Political rant and the actual post turned into such, makes it a waste of time.You can see the drop in posts now.

Hey, fair answer. Gotta day after nigh on 15 years of being away, I don’t think I have that much to add to a California forum anymore, though. I miss the dang place but not enough to move back or intimately keep up with it.
