Training will be big business. Consultants galore. Every company, institution, and employee will need to be a certified anti-racist, probably with yearly refreshers and recertification. I can also see companies requiring signed pledges of compliance.

When you consider the huge chunk of change that Trump gets for allowing the Republicans to hold their soirees at his Mar a lago estate and then contemplate how astronomical Trump's speaking fees are, it's obvious that Trump - the racist - has a far higher value in our society than a few scruffy descendents of slaves. Remember that the next time you find yourself starting to radiate ill will at the Reverend Al Sharpton.

You also need to give us a link to where you found out all these things about BLM. The Republicans on this forum constantly label the members of BLM as 'terrorists.' When it comes to actual terrorists most people don't wonder what they take home pay is, they are more interested in preventing the terrorists from blowing stuff up. Since the BLM is NOT a terrorist outfit (and in your heart you know this), you have to keep bringing up the animosity that Brianna Taylor's Mom supposedly has toward BLM movement. As if you actually cared either way.

Perhaps I should start a thread about some poverty stricken, homeless Trump supporter who lives on the streets while Trump squanders millions of dollars jet setting around between all his elegant estates and opulent hotels. Has Trump ever given ANYONE so much as a tiny house? Of course not. You don't start threads about this because republicans have a double standard - Black folks should be paid and live in shacks just like they used to back in the good old days.

White Republicans should be able to pile up the big bucks anyway they can - legal or not - and live in 30 room McMansions in a gated community.

I wish you all well, and it is my most heartfelt hope that every last one of you will be able to secure a villa on the Florida coast with the ocean so near that you can hear the waves breaking even at low tide.

Now, don't ya'll start waving your Confederate flags at once.

When is Black Lives Matter going to riot about all the blacks murdered by blacks? It seems the only lives that matter are the ones they can use to further their agenda. BLM are racist hypocrites.

LOL, no doubt, never stick to the subject at hand which is race baiting being a business, nothing to do with Mira Lago or Trump or Republicans or whatever.

Can't attack the premise, got to redirect to some other crap that has nothing to do with anything related to the OP and go for of course the racist card. Don't these people realize that the mileage on that one is about up. People aren't going to keep putting up with being called a racist for no reason anymore. My patience for garbage these days is waning.

No, I did NOT call you racist. I used that term to describe Trump - not you. I probably implied that you were waving a confederate flag, but those on the right claim they display such flags out of respect for their Southern heritage. So, maybe you are a proud Southerner like I used to be.

Anyhow, I can't call anyone names because then I will end up getting disappeared by the POC gestapo.

Sharpton was the one I think who I realized was doing this, and he raked in millions with it. Then I got to watch Trump do it on a bigger scale.

Racism is real folks, but the parasites trying to make money off it are just that. parasites that give us nothing in comparison to the income they bring in for themselves.

I don't disagree... but to these right wingers any black person who isn't Thomas Sowell or Candace Owens or their ilk is a "race baiter"... and any white guy who has any sympathy for black people suffers "white guilt" and is a "virtue signaler".

A bunch of otherwise useless nobodies have become very wealthy on race huckstering while the people they huckstered have regressed (except under the Trump Administration).
