Elections have consequences. Even stolen ones.

Perhaps more for stolen ones.

The real racists are the people screaming RACIST every chance they get. Hateful, angry, vile, failures who blame all of their many problems in life on systemic racism.

Those people are making the world worse with every breath they take.

Those words mean nothing to me and never will. Accept, reject, it all ends the same so I'll ignore it.

As a white American I have no problem acknowledging that systemic racism against black people has existed and to a lesser extent today continues to exist in this country. The left in no way implies that all white Americans today are complicit in attitudes of white supremacy simply because they are white. Rather, it’s suggested and I think on at least partially valid evidence, that white Americans who still even to this day cannot acknowledge the systemic racism against black people that has occurred in America, suggests to some that you may not be fully consciously aware of how your whiteness impacts various aspects of your American experience.

But the the left does imply and even express just that. And what is white supremacy exactly? According to the left anything and everything white is white supremacy while the left promotes non-white supremacy.

No, maybe some on the ultra woke far left take that position, that is not “the left”.

The left selected moderate white Joe Biden as their presidential candidate.

Yeah, well, I didn't really enjoy watching Weekend at Bernie's either. Joe Biden is not in control and no one who is serious thinks he is. People like Susan Rice are in control. Did you see her bannered comments "explaining" what Biden meant in tonight's speech to the joint session of congress? In Susan Rice's first press conference with Jenn she mentioned equity something like 40 times. This coming from a woman that is worth $40 - $50 million. If Biden's presidency is who he hires, and let's face it he ain't doing much but waiting for bedtime these days, then this will be one of the most far left presidencies in current times. The Party is literally talking about using "infrastructure" funds to "remodel" low income neighborhoods. Not add infrastructure but move what's already there so it's not so racist. And no I'm not joking, highways are racist now. But then again what isn't when white supremacy and racism are literally waiting around every corner, heart and mind.

Would they lie?
A very large percentage of the time when I become involved in any discussion that involves race, someone will label me a racist. One guy labeled me a Nazi for politely suggesting that the alt-right and Nazis were two different groups, while condemning both. I responding by attempting to annoy the hell out of him in ways such as insisting that pan-dimensional lizard people control the government, asking if he would marry me, insisting that the covid vaccines would put nano-machines into people that would transform them into transgender democrats, and asking whether or not he'd pooped that day, over and over again. That brand of vengeance was some of the most fun I've ever had, and I recommend everyone behave similarly in similar situations.

That said...I've seen non-whites wrongfully be accused of racism just as easily. We're not going to see black professional news reporters say the N-word anytime soon. They'd be slightly less likely than a white reporter to be fired for it...but it wouldn't be good for their careers either.

I think that everyone who involves themselves in any conversation involving race stands a good chance of being called a racist.

When Joe Biden and Kamala say things like systemic racism is everywhere, he is implying whites are the racists in the system.
