Are you sure? I've seen the "white people should shut up" and the "men should shut up" ideas tossed around with abandon in certain circles over the past couple of years.
one of the many tactics of people like you is to leave out context and play the victim card. Nice try. You're trying the "we should respect different viewpoints" angle without acknowledging why in 2017 people would not want to here some of the hatred that yall spew out as "a different view". Again, normally I would go on a huge rant. But I can now sum up what you're attempting with a simple phrase...you're not providing CONTEXT.

There's should be a single person that claims to be about equality fighting to hard for slavery statues. And that's exactly what they are. There are whole threads about them, so lets not go into that. But I'm just proving a point. People are being dragged kicking and screaming forward while they clutch their, statues, confederate flags, and tiki torches. Many of you still sit here and tap dance around each and every police shooting of a black person, but you magically find sympathy for the couple of times white women were attacked recently. At a certain point police will be reformed, they are messing with everyone regardless of race, and yet there are still some that say they need to be allowed to do this to "thugs".
Anyways, welcome to 2017. Old-timey republican/conservative ways of thinking aren't going to just be the way of the land anymore.
You go to the airport and witness mixed race couples and families - and somehow that leads you to create a thread in which Democrats are screaming 'racism' at their TV's?
Was wondering the same thing? The op should check on their meds schedule.

Ahh, people like me. The hatred that people like me spew. Great talking to you, as always.
I'm not playing a victim card. I don't feel victimized, nor do I seek to feel victimized. I'm just stating what I've seen and asking if you're sure that time is over.
It seems to me that you also left out any context when you wrote "the times of being able to tell certain groups to just 'shut up' is over." And of the many times I've seen that expressed toward white people, straight people, men, cisgender people etc. in the past couple of years it has almost always come with a lack of context as well.

Are your policy prescription ideas for creating a better society 1) getting rid of certain statues and 2) reforming the police?
How can we have a discussion when you use "people like you" and "many of you." I'm an individual, just like you are.

Okay. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a post-modern SJW either.
I'm basically for free minds, free markets, powerful individuals, and limited government. Do you think we should get further away from these concepts?
The flaw in [the OP's] analysis is the assumption of all or nothing....ergo...mutual exclusivity.
OP did not do that.

That's not what OP stated.
OP merely observed that despite Lefty Librul Progressives continually shrieking "Racist" and "Racism", most people seem to get along quite well.

I doubt that many whites are "against" blacks. That's absurd. I think most people wish that everyone could be doing well.
Racism does not really exist at least not in the traditional sense but is currently a political catch all misused by the Democrats in their daily attempt to cause chaos everywhere.
Please leave the back yard sometimes... Racism is very real, unless you live eat and work surrounded only by your own people .

Exactly!!!
Lefties don't like what I wrote and try to make it look like I'm nuts but meanwhile we see around us people of all races and backgrounds, getting along very well.
We deal in our job with literally all categories of people that Democrats wants us to hate.
According to democrats we don't like the so called "rainbow" category but we don't ask questions regarding personal privacy behavior, just financial questions in our line of work.
The left will hate to see how we are not like the left wishes we were.
In the end the left is the racist, bigot one!
