Twitter to blame?


Twitter was only a tool to fan the flames. The left is 100% to blame. Well... not only the left... The deep state as well, but mostly the left. In a nutshell, Trump scared the shite out of all the swamp rats. He's an outsider. They had to pull out all the stops to get power back. Racism was all but dead in this country and the left, using the media, resuscitated it.

My question is why does it bother some people to no end if some random person is racist?? I could give a frick less if some random black/Latino/asian person hates whites with a burning passion.

Huff Po, Vox, and Yahoo are also on that chart. They're just off the scale.

It still doesn't need to be addressed, hell in the south you have thousands if not more interactions among different races a day and nothing happens

It’s not really a thing now.

Angels in the outfield had a black male lead and a black younger actor and was loved and watched by everyone

Sister Sister and Smart guy were both shows on Disney and was loved and watched by everyone

Fresh Prince of Belle Aire, The Cosby Show, Family Matters were all black run shows and were loved and watched by everyone

It’s strange because that all existed without being forced or divisive

Of course you don’t, white devil. You should check your knapsack for all the privileges you carried back then while being complicit in oppressing every person of color on the planet.

If one were to read Tigerdroppings, racism doesn't exist. Then you read Tigerdroppings and realize how little self-awareness most people have on how racist this board is. Gaslighting yourself is a group effort.

Nothing has changed .... just the definition of “racism” has become extremely broad
Example:
In the past - randomly beating up black people = racism
Today - not hiring some who happens to be black = “racism”

maybe a few prominent blacks pushed it, but I feel like it was overwhelmingly pushed by white people. White guilt libs, as well as those looking for any way to gain social clout. Look who the biggest SJWs are, its always shitty white libs.

It’s always been there. I blame both the left and the right for capitalizing on it which has made it worse lately.

We all had Motorola Razors or Nokias. No social media. If people were racist, you knew it by listening in person. Not this bullshite he said she said or blog mess we deal with now.

Tech has made us horrible as a species.

Divide and conquer.

Know your real enemy and it’s not your fellow citizens.

That’s just your privilege talking. Racism is worse than ever! Black people have it as bad or worse in this country now than before the Civil Rights movement. Just ask black people and white liberals!

The media is 100% the source of all our division. They are truly the enemy of the people

It’s more marketable now, therefore there’s a lot more money to be made in the race hustling, disenfranchisement business. And business is booming.
