Excellent point......I have never thought of myself as racist, but with it constantly thrown into every conversation well let me just say, I have changed.

So the "healing and unity" lip service doesn't apply to those below an arbitrary melanin level. Wow. Which phase of "Build Back Better" is this?

racial tolerance has come a long way in my life time, i am 66 and white and never felt guilt for things that happened years before i was alive...i live a spiritual life which requires i do a close inspection of myself frequently..i am sure a bit of racism


resides within me, but i don't act on it...doing a personal inventory is required to identify thing such as this so i am not surprised the average Joe thinks its hogwash...PS and yes i have known blacks who were so racists i could envision the in an SS uniform lol...this is a human observation not limited to whitey

The majority of US population identifies as white and a growing percent of them seem to identify as victims.

65% of the population identifies as Christian and a growing percent of them seem to identify as victims.

Makes no sense, does it?

As previously posted on this forum, my father was KKK.

The proudest moment of his life was his engagement in the first televised race riots in the US- 1951 ( before my time) in Cicero, Illinois. About 3000 white males gathered with the intent of forcing a black family, headed by a black man, veteran, college education, professional, out of their apartment and burning it down. The multi- day violence spilled over to the white- owned business district. Store windows were smashed and looted. He and buddies snagged a new wringer washer for one of the Mrs at home.

Growing up, we had an official list of commercial food products we could not buy or consume because N’s produced the food. If I had $1 for every time he said “ the only good N was a dead N, I would have had more $ than he ever accumulated. .

I make zero excuses for my father or “ the times”. Those were his choices. Not mine.

Look at this filth.


"White people are all racist"

I haven't seen anything this bad since that Showtime trailer that hated on whitey.


I suspect Stewart's ratings will go the same way.


Into the abyss.


And deservedly so.

This is what Jon Stewart said on Twitter about being woke:

Hey all!! Just found out I’m woke… all this time
I just thought I was good at history.

No, it doesn't. But there it is.

And yet he cited 1619, which means he isn’t good at history.

I don't blame you for anything you father said or did.

I'm genuinely curious- how did you manage to not believe the same garbage that he did? Was there a time you did (or believed some of it even) and then realized it was wrong?

Woke requires absolute ignorance of history.


Ever heard of the 1619 Project?


It's like the National Enquirer of history.


I'm sorry.....I spoke out of turn....I meant the New York Times.
