While I totally agree that racism is not unique to white people, and that a lot of the things the far left pushes is ridiculous, listening to some of you guys whine about how "they can't get over it" makes me think that if you were in "their" shoes, you probably wouldn't have gotten over it yet either. And seeing as how so many of you guys see a boogeyman with a master plan behind every corner, it shouldn't be that surprising that "they" see a racist. Human nature to give in to fearmongering I guess.
This is such BS. History is history and can’t be changed (no matter how many statues are torn down). Yes we had slavery, by the way blacks owned slaves……what! yes it’s true! How can that be!
How come we never hear about how poorly Asians were treated in the whole reparations argument? Chinese were treated poorly and used as slave labor. We have some bad history. No fear mongering. I’m just tired of hearing how tax dollars I pay will fix everything, if we pay blacks who were never slaves! I never owned a slave! Shouldnt we pay Jews who had family killed by the Nazis? This needs to stop or it will continually perpetuate. Affirmative action was a total crock, and harmed again……Asians. Glad the scotus saw that. You can’t repair history, with money, or allowing those with lower grades granted access at colleges over those with higher grades because of their…… race. Isn’t that in fact racism? Oh wait, no! It can’t be because you can be racist to anyone but…….white people. BS!!! Jesse Smollett. We can’t change history of how people were treated by throwing an infinity trillion $$ at it. Because it will never be enough, because the people were paying will never stop.
DEI is nothing but a means to perpetuate it, virtue signaling. It doesn’t work.
We’re perpetuating it, and becoming more racist as a society because of it. Money won’t change history. Tearing down statues won’t fix it. Taking the Holocaust out of text books and denying it happened (oh yes there were “whites” killed because of their race) won’t fix it. It needs to stop!
