only because the left has used skin color as a tactic, period! People of color are oppressed by the party that owns them.....

Unfortunately, they will never let go of the topic, never! The voting base is way too loyal and paid for!

It's become this way because it's been allowed to.
People are too afraid of being labeled racist so they become apathetic instead
This is precisely what Leftists bank on and exist on
STOP allowing it and just say NO to the game

It’s been this way since the war between the states ended.


* It’s a fact. Like it or not.

The Left is consumed with race because they have no ideas outside of class, economic, social, and racial division. Rich vs poor, black vs white, documented vs undocumented, gay vs straight, etc. It’s all they have

The identity politics strategy employed by the left for the past couple decades no longer works for the progressive left

Now they moved on to class warfare …. “Eat the billionaires “

It’s been that way for decades. Now they are latching onto illegals as they are starting to lose the AA citizens. It is a slow process but the AA are finally seeing that they were pawns.

Race was an issue in the the 80s and 90s but it wasn’t until Obama that this racial entitlement culture was kicked into high gear. Obama was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He looked like a black man, and was easily relatable as a black man but in reality he was a practicing Muslim that used black citizens to push a liberal agenda and accelerating the rate at which black Americans were dependent on the government.

You are 100% correct about them not letting go. Our town is 50/50 black white. There is a black family here truly adored and respected by most whites. They have an established family restaurant patronized by over 80% whites . The sons have trades and are contracted mostly by white people. Heck, I hunt and fish with one of them on occasion. I recently stopped and chatted with one of their wives and asked about her son who is graduating. She said he has to get out of our town because a black man can’t get ahead here. They’ve done very well - 100% as well as if they were white. Like I said, they were the one in a thousand I thought were above it but they’re not. Victimhood is instilled in them when they come out of the womb.

Specific races do cause legitimate problems that are a net negative for society, regardless of exceptions to the rule.

The reality is we’re too far along for anything meaningful to be done about it.

It wasn’t like this until Obama’s second term. My fellow Gen Xers can testify. I know the whole “judge them by the content of their character” thing has become a meme now, but in the 70s and 80s, that’s how we were raised. Hell, look at this…



This video was released in late 1991 and went straight to the top of the charts. In fact it hit number 1 faster than any song since the Beatles “Get Back in 1969. Would that happen in a racist, or race obsessed, society and they latch onto such a song? And look ant Michael Jackson himself. He was quite literally the most popular musician in America in the 80s and 90s, and it wasn’t even really close.

quote:

"Black or White" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on December 7, 1991, the fastest to reach the position since the Beatles' 1969 single "Get Back". It stayed at the position for seven weeks, making Jackson the first artist to have multiple number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In addition to having received triple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), "Black or White" reached number one on the charts of at least 20 countries and territories, including the UK, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Zimbabwe and the Eurochart Hot 100. It was the best-selling single worldwide of 1992.[3]

The music video was directed by John Landis, who had previously directed Jackson's 1983 music video for Thriller, and featured Macaulay Culkin, Another Bad Creation, Tess Harper, and George Wendt. It was co-choreographed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. It premiered simultaneously in 69 countries on November 14, 1991, with an audience of 500 million viewers, the most ever for a music video. It premiered on MTV, BET, VH1, and Fox, which gave them their highest Nielsen ratings ever at the time, as well as the BBC's Top of the Pops in the UK.[4]

"Black or White" won the inaugural Billboard No. 1 World Single award.[3] In 2003, Q named "Black or White" the 84th best song of all time.

Imagine trying to release this song today.

That's true ... but incomplete.

Obama is a Marxist Muslim ... and he was the manchurian candidate of the NWO Globalists.

Since 2003 actually, Islam, Marxism and NWO Globalists have joined hands. You could see it coming when Obama spoke at the Democrat Convention that year.

Marx was a luciferian. Muhammed was a luciferian (read The Satanic Verses and really learn about the origins of Islam), and NWO Globalism is driven by satanism.

Modern Liberal Progressives are Marxists ... Satanists.

Once people truly understand that to be factual (and all one need do is look around and accept that reality) ... then those of us on the side of good will accept the fact that we are in a fight against evil.

Every single day the evil is happening all around us from Nigeria to Tehran to Europe to Canada and here ... on our own streets, mostly in the big blue cities.

The problem is that most people either don't want to admit it or they're completely shielded from it in their day to day lives.

Coincided with 4th wave feminism, which is the wellspring of all new age entitlement.

quote:

Fourth-wave feminism, emerging around 2012, emphasizes digital activism, intersectionality, and issues like sexual harassment and body shaming, leveraging social media to amplify voices and mobilize movements.


This is where thousands of normal young kids found out they might be trans, just all of a sudden.

Race relations weren't even being discussed that much in 2007. I wonder who or what happened in 2008-2009 that started changing things?

Not in Atlanta. I live in the black mecca of America (ATL) and I have never once experienced anything racist while dealing with black people in my 40+ on/off years of living here.
