We are all humans, we can all get along and most of us do. Who needs to be reminded every time they turn that black lives matter? I see signs popping up everywhere. Do we really need to be reminded or are the people that are posting them just virtue signalling?
Most people still live their lives judging people by their conduct not their skin colour.
I'm so tired of it.
Now when I see a BLM sign I want to run up and add a quick "O" to it so it reads "Black Olives Matter".
I'm experiencing racist fatigue. If I ran this forum you would get one strike and you're out. No need to give racists a free pulpit to preach hate from.
Damn straight. I'm so sick of hearing about it/seeing it, I could puke. We live in a world populated by WAY too many people with OCD. I call them race-o-philes. They are totally obsessed with race.
What they are accomplishing is indifference and hostility on the part of the general public. Just the opposite of what they state that they want. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. BLM is the champion of how not to garner sympathy. However, their tactics are great for getting the middle finger.

Come on. You love accusing people of being racist, admit it. You're not fatigued with it one bit.
It seems as though EVERYTHING in the news or on television is about race now. You can't escape it. Even during the weekend golf tournament, most of the commercials had some racial theme or had special segments talking about what the PGA was doing for minorities.
Is anyone else tired of this "woke" barrage of racial oriented information?
Democrats always use race as a weapon around election. The Democrats always pander to the blacks up until election and then they forget about them as usual. Black lives matter is actually a communist Marxist organization using race as a vehicle to further their Marxist ideas and fund the Democrats. The money that's going to Black lives matter is actually filtered over to ACT BLUE which funds Democrats BIDEN and Harris.

Bogus choices offered in this biased "poll" - No, I'm not tired of needing to remember that systemic racism is killing people and impacting our fellow citizens in permanent and often devastating ways.
Why do you need to be reminded of this? Does it sometimes slip your mind, like forgetting to get butter when you're at the store?

How so? I look around me and see black people doing the same kinds of things everyone else does around here, like LIVING THEIR LIVES, GOING TO WORK, and DOING THEIR THING, just like the rest of us.
You're little vacuum doesn't reflect the larger universe.

Racists run in both directions, and across a continuum from mildly unthoughtful to downright hateful. All people stereotype and practice discrimination, it is a survival instinct and one practiced though out the animal kingdom. Some species use it to avoid situations or other creatures where they might become dinner, and some use it to pick out the easiest, most likely dinner. What needs to happen is education to ease distrust and fear among the races, and the crap happening right now is doing the exact opposite.
If we had that one strike rule, which we would apply equally regardless of the targeted race, most of those who complain the loudest about others being racists would be the first to go. Too often people confuse their perceptions with fact and assume anyone with a different perception is the one in the wrong, forgetting that people can witness or listen to the exact same thing and see or hear something totally different.

I've been suffering from race fatigue for about 36 years now.
I'm extremely adept at tuning out.
