It isn’t naïvete. What you say is true but there is a narrative by the media that is trying to divide us and people don’t get it. They also don’t realize their own hypocrisy like the example I made in my post.
Who care about media. Believe it or not. People arrive at conclusions indepdent of the media. And black people have distrusting the media before it was cool to do so. So trust me if a black person believes something or racist its not the result of them being programmed by the media. I would say minority populations consume far less media, particularly from the MSM than white people do.

I wasn’t saying that black people believe the media. I was taking about people in general. It’s more so white liberals that believe the media.
I made a point on FB that racism exists but we are not a racist society. I got blasted with people telling we are a racist country because of how black people have been treated in this country since we brought them here as slaves from Africa. Saying we have so much more work to do. I guess having a black president who was elected twice means nothing? I posted a video from Candace Owens and Larry Elder who are both black and they said horrible things about them. But then someone posted something negative about something Michelle Obama said and was called racist. It’s hypocritical. Someone else said something positive about cops and called racist. Someone liked Tucker Carlson on their FB and was called racist. It’s just unbelievable imo. Now people changing names like Lady Antebellum changing their name because the name came from the civil war? People wanting to take down all statues, ban movies. People getting fired or stepping down because they have a different opinion or posted something years ago that someone took offense to. I’d like to know how many Black people really agree with all this? Is white privilege really a thing? I think we all have the same opportunities.
This is the most clueless post I've ever seen. You have the internet and all the information you can possibly process.
I'd recommend doing a deep dive.

The majority are a bunch of lemmings that follow the media, news and social.
Independent and critical thinking is sorely missing from these people.
First off, do you HONESTLY think ANYONE is saying that EVERYTHING is racist? That means that the sun is racist. The moon is racist (it is kind of whitish though...lol). The sky is racist.....except for the dark clouds...dark clouds can't be racist....lol. Just kidding with that....but do you get what I mean? Why do you have to go the the FURTHEST extreme?
Obviously you will win that debate that EVERYTHING is not racist....but can you win a debate that MANY things are not racist?

I would say that some Black people believing something is racist could be the result of them being "programmed" or "influenced" by the media.
When everything is racist, then nothing is racist.

Per the above quotes...all speak to why everything can be considered racist. PERCEPTION.
We have a cultural narrative now that the perception of the listener now determines the meaning/intent/truth of the speaker. The viewer determines the mindset of the artist. In an A-B conversation, observer C gets to tell A and B what they both meant.
Accusation confers guilt, innocence can never be proven, exoneration is not possible, and once the tag is branded to someone or something, then that is the permanent state for all eternity.
Within such a narrative, where hundreds of millions of people can have infinite different perceptions of things...of course everything can be considered racist. I could post a picture of a flower in a meadow on social media, and if one person decides that picture is conveying some hidden racist subtext or meaning, then so it is, merely by accusation.
Think of racism as an extension to Rule 34 for the Internet (whatever it is, there is porn of it), and my informal 34-Y (whatever it is, there is YouTube of it). We'll call it Rule 34-R For Society - Whatever it is, it's racist because I said so.
Everything WHITE is "RACIST". And life for whites will only get worse until whites start speaking up and defending their race from racism and injustice.
The white man that was killed by a cop the same way Floyd was killed. Nobody knows his name. Double standard? Duh. Floyd was a violent felon. He should in no way be a martyr.
Blue Lives Matter. Blacks murder cops at 4 times the rate that whites murder cops.
