Except it is true. You can look at studies on traffic stops or sentencing. You can even look to the stories individuals have about their own experiences. There is ample evidence out there. It isn’t a new problem on this country.

I don’t think affirmative action is racism. It is in place because of systemic racial prejudice against people of color who are minorities in this country.

Most new immigrant groups were treated badly when they first got here. But they figured out how to make a living. Millions of blacks have done so too. Too hitch your sympathy gene to the clueless who just want an excuse to make up for their lack of initiative speaks more to your gullibility then the reality of situation.

Yes. We attempted a multiracial society because we thought that the ideals of the European Enlightenment that serve as the core principles of the Nation could be applied to all races and produce harmony. It can't. The Founders understood this but we fantasized that we knew better and could "correct" their "mistakes."

It's not that hard to understand that the radical, irrational, delusional and hypocritical left wing zealots of today cannot coexist peacefully with those who stand for the classical liberal ideals. This is Marxist revolutionary struggle we are facing. The wake up call is just HOW pervasive their tentacles are. They have almost complete cultural influence over the younger generations. We are absolutely at a tipping point in respect to this country's fate. Anyone who doesn't take this threat very seriously is putting their posterity and this 200 some odd year experiment in liberty at great risk.

I cannot recommend enough that people read and research what Marxists practice and preach, from Marx until today. They are radical. They will use any underhanded means at their disposal. They will exploit your good faith gestures and susceptibilities. They will use violence, murder, and intimidation and they will simultaneously feign opposition to these tactics. They cannot be reasoned with. They will kill you, imprison you, or destroy you by whatever means necessary. Do not take their rhetoric as metaphorical. They are only constrained by their lack of authority.

The most painless way to stop this is to nip it in the bud now with swift and overwhelming force while we still have fundamental state powers in the hands of anti-Marxists. I have been mocked on this site before for exclaiming that America's biggest struggle ahead is that with Marxism/Bolshevism. That the Cold War only removed the Soviet Union from the equation. The struggle with Marxism predates and postdates the USSR. Wake tf up and start finding ways to inform yourself and to find a way to help blunt this wave of leftist radicalism that is sweeping through our population and threatening to destabilize and topple our institutions.

It's time to put the Mideast wars and the Russian boogie monster to bed and focus on the real threat to our national security. It is domestic and international Marxism.

Are we witnessing the opening chapters of this hypothetical book?


Yes, but the decline has been going on for a while, though.

Will this book ever be written? Yes or no?


It most certainly will. I just hope it's not in my lifetime.

If yes, in what century will this book be written?


I'd say about 100 years. There will be many such books written in Chinese.

I don't think that these revolutionary activities are caused by Trump. I think that these activities have been planned for a very long time.


That's correct. The Marxists have been working on this for almost a century. That's well documented. In the old days it was mostly a Soviet operation using American operatives (useful idiots). Today it's mostly homegrown Marxists. Sure Russia and China help where they can, but they'd never have any success without useful idiots over here.

It is an issue I spend a lot of time reading about and there is ample evidence on racial bias in this country. There are studies on employment, traffic stops, and sentencing among other issues.

What a crock of shite. When 7% of the population is responsible for well over 50% of violent crime, this is the result you get. If you have priors, you get harsher sentences. Don’t give me no shite about skin color. Have you been to a frickin courthouse? Half the goddamn judges are black. If “systemic racism “ exists, go ahead and show us the secret code book that has these underlying rules in place throughout the land. Quit acting like wild frickin animals and you don’t have to worry about police getting nervous around you.

We've been screwed since the immigration floodgates were opened in the 1970s.

I don't know about the fall part, but I had been saying since the lock down started that proponents of the lock down/ shutdown were playing with forces that they were not ready for and don't want to understand

I must agree with you wholeheartedly. It is a stark and sobering reality to be able to use the phrase "Marxist revolutionary struggle" and to apply this phrase accurately to what is happening to We the People of the United States of America.

A favorite tactic of Marxist revolutionary struggle is to use Collective Guilt to condemn and persecute races and classes of people that the Marxists don't like. We are seeing this tactic being used here in the USA.

There are also studies on crime rates, types of crimes, literacy, etc...

The black community has far more problems by its own doing than the white man in today’s day and age.

As long as they elect to be a victim things will not change. Only the minority community can fix its problems.

Look at last week’s Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling against churches in California; they just out and out took a dump on the Constitution. So, those who say America will be around in 100 more years may be right and wrong at the same time. It may be named America but it won’t resemble the Constitutional Republic it was meant to be it it’s founding document continues to be perverted.

Here is an article about an interesting study on traffic stops. Being black makes it much more likely someone will be stopped and searched in North Carolina despite the fact that blacks people are less likely to be found with contraband.

LINK

Controlling for factors including past violent crimes the US sentencing commission found differences in sentencing based on race.

( there are also studies on employment that show racial bias against people of color).
