OT Why Never Trumpers Should Bet on DeSantis Now

Again, so you accept it's a big part of our existence, what are you doing about it?

 

1619 Project. Several hundred pages of documented evidence.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry over a couple of white Christian hetero men solemnly declaring systemic racism doesn't exist. Because of course they are experts!

 

Democrats and the Left want black people to view themselves as hopeless victims. Because why try if there is no point in trying? Just depend on the government because they know what's best for you, and wait for that welfare check to come in the mail because they care so deeply for you.

The act is getting old and I'm glad so many young black people are starting to wake up.

 

Trust me, it's more than a couple of Christian hetero men, sis.

 

I'm acknowledging it exists. When you get there, if you ever do, we can discuss what I'm doing.

 

This discussion is about Trump? Coulda fooled me.

 

FIFY.

 

Not certain. There is this, though. I believe the same applies today.

What is the message to the countless Black people who aren't affected by systemic racism? Help join in the fight?

 

Was systemic racism ever a thing? If so, at what point did we overcome it?

 

By your wife and who else??

 

This is like personally solving climate change. Or personally saving the rainforests.

Pointless. Literally helps nothing.

Supporting improved access to education, healthcare, and empowering the middle class and poor is how you solve these problems, coupled with science based legislation.

"Personally doing something" may make you feel better, but so does jerking off. And it accomplishes pretty much the same thing.

 

There is no one in America, of any color, unaffected. No matter how much I despise racism I know, as a white woman, I have benefited by white privilege.

 

First recognize it and then care about it. Not saying you don't care about it because I know you do, but I am saying you need to recognize it.

 

I remember working in Atlanta as a hod carrier for my brick layer father who had a small crew of brick layers and hod carriers who started his crew by hiring this big Black man as a hod carrier. He would go off in the near by woods to eat his lunch alone. I invited him to eat lunch with us but he was silent as he continued to eat lunch alone in the woods. My father explained that Blacks were uncomfortable eating with Whites but I felt and still do that it wasn't right for them to not be included in our social activities. I was 17 and it was 1965.

 

OK, so, we had a Black president for 8 years. What did he do to quell so-called systemic racism? Another POTUS I know of claimed, "The buck stops here." I mean, does it?

 

So, it's a matter of making you feel uncomfortable to effect true change? And, if so, what does that look like?

 

I have no idea what ABM is talking about. I can say this. Yes, you do have to be uncomfortable to make changes. If you delude yourself by saying racism, misogyny, homophobia, religious bigotry don't exist, not only can nothing change, but then the only explanation for poorer situation of Black people from higher infant mortality to earlier death, must be due to innate inferiority. Lack of women in positions of power must be our little lady brains can't compete.
