All these accusations and obsession with Racism are doing is driving people to be more divided. Essentially creating Racism where none really existed. This is purposeful to create societal unrest and chaos leading up the the election, and beyond. The cure? More big government programs, taxes and income and wealth redistribution. More totalitarian oppression and control.

There is a problem with the question. Is American society as a whole racist? Are there sectors/regions/subpopulations of America that are racist? It's not yes or no, it's a range/continuum of attitudes which vary from place to place.

Most importantly there is no clear definition of "racist". Does the OP actually mean "bigoted" or "discriminatory"?

Regardless of whether we mean racist, bigoted, or discriminatory, there are undoubtedly subpopulations in America that preserve these attitudes. Particularly among those that are less educated - the voting block that Trump stated that he loved so much.

Biden also said that Obama was ''CLEAN" . ARTICULATE.. hidden meaning ,Biden thinks most black people are dirty and can't speak good english.. Biden is a white elitist..
I didn't say anything about Biden. I agree he is racist. He didn't want his children going to integrated schools. 'Jungles'. He has said far more racist things than Trump, but that isn't the topic.

Time for the CD poll. I bet we are smarter than most of the public.
And yet we elected a black president twice. and just recently the finalists in the TV show American Idol, the top three were a black woman, and Filipino man, and an Indian man. The top five for The Voice, were two black men, and a black woman, and two white men. It illustrates how non-racist people are, as they vote when no one is watching.

If we were a "systemically racist" people all of those finalists would have been white.

It just shows you the power of propaganda. The Democratic Party and their cohorts in the media and pop culture, can just shout 'racist' long enough and hard enough, and people just start to assume it must be true, their neighbor, or the stranger on the street must be a racist.

Of course it does help to coerce this idea of a racist nation, if social media and the cancel culture retaliate against anyone not parroting their memes and mantras, such as retaliating against anyone forgetting to hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.

It kind of is a part of this topic. It's the media, and the Democrats who are preaching the propaganda that "America is racist." It's these same people calling Trump a racist, but not Biden, and yet it's Biden who has said some very racist things over the years, while Trump has not.


Call Americans racist long enough and people start to believe it. Call Trump a racist long enough, and people start to believe it.

Of course not. Where did I say that? Why do Progressives think in absurd extremes? However there is no "Systemic Racism" and it is not a large societal problem that the Democrats and Media say it is. This is all an excuse to grow government and divide people. This is a tactic of populace control and domination.

Racism is just a form of bigotry, and we will always have bigots. Even if every person in the US were black, the bigots would find some identifiable differences to say "that person is inferior to us." The Hutu and Tutsi murdered each other, the Catholics and Protestants murdered each other.

There always will be a small sector of racists. Some people just need to point at another group and say "I'm superior to those people, they are a basket of deplorables."

Good point. Nobody asked me.

So, 900 is supposed to be an accurate representation of 330,000,000 people ? Each person is speaking for 366,666 people, really ????? That's why I put no stock in ANY poll !
