Will someone please explain to me why I am a racist simply because of my color? And isn't that the definition of racism? So how is it that racist? using racism to call me racist? how do they get away with this? The schools are using racist tactics to convince children that they are racist/ Why are they allowed to do this? I am confused

My friend you are/the Left Wingers are confusing actual racism with the political goal of the Left Wingers to gain power. I suspect like millions of other white people across the planet, you are no more racist than simply being white. But the Left uses the word, racism, in its political language to convince the black people the Left is on their side, is standing up for them. Of course the black people need nobody really standing up for them nor does any other race. But it serves to have the black race THINK they have friends in the Democratic Party and so the Democrats promote, BIG TIME, the lie that blacks need somebody standing up for them. Of course that idea from the Democratic Plantation, oops, sorry, the Democratic Party.

And so by convincing the black race whites are racist the black race is supposed to gravitate toward and vote the Democrat ticket.

I have not figured out yet how it can possibly be that ONLY Conservative white people and of course Conservative other races are racist but Liberal people are not racist, not even former Senator Robert Byrd of the Democratic sponsored KKK.

Think Division of Americans as part of the final goal toward Socialism for the Democratic Party.

But if White, or any other color, people let them get away with this they are part of the problem.

Well how exactly like you and your childish rants to attack others rather than discuss the issue at hand.

You got it right. All this systemic racism BS is about is the Democrat party convincing blacks that they are the party looking out for them and taking care of them in this evil empire. Blacks, you need us otherwise you're doomed because you'll never be able to care for yourselves. Sounds racist doesn't it? Too bad more blacks don't see it for what it really is. Most blacks are in their corner and the Democrats will do whatever it takes to keep them there like being very hesitant to condemn the violence perpetrated by BLM. Looting, destroying property and burning buildings suddenly became a peaceful protest making a statement.

Sure, Denny Boy, what issues would you like to discuss? Let's look at the newest Republican issues:

Taking the vaccine can make you magnetic.
Wildfires are caused by Jewish Space Lasers.
Italian Satellites changed the votes in the Presidential election.
Wearing a mask is the same as the Holocaust.
Satan worshipping pedophiles are running the country.
Or, my favorite one that I saw on TV yesterday: Taking the Covid Vaccine can turn you into a Zombi.

You sure say a lot of ridiculous unsourced BS. Stop getting you news at the supermarket checkout.

See how easily you picked up on the obvious RACISM of the Democratic Party. Imagine them thinking that blacks are not capable of taking care of themselves and would need the Democrats to look out for them.

C'mon now. How dense are you? The topic to be discussed is right in front of your face, RACISM and the "Democratic Party looking down on blacks since the end of the Civil War.

Everything else you listed above might be in your contrived realm of realism, and of course are supported by the Left Wing Socialist Party, but certainly not for any other person on the planet. But apparently that is the realm of ridiculous concepts you live in under your bridge. Oh, say hi to the three billy goats for me.

Actually all of that he listed is noted in caps on the Democratic Platform under Biden's name.

A lot of misinformation concerning Critical Race Theory is to be found in some of these posts. It has nothing to do with telling all whites that they are racists and that they are personally responsible for racial inequality.

"But their [Republicans] biggest public relations angle has been the attack on Critical Race Theory, a theory conceived in the 1970s by legal scholars trying to understand why the civil rights legislation of the past twenty years had not eliminated racial inequality in America. They argued that general racial biases were baked into American law so that efforts to protect individuals from discrimination did not really get at the heart of the issue. While this theory focused on the law, it echoed the arguments historians have made—and proved—since the 1940s: our economy, education, housing, medical care, and so on, have developed with racial biases. This is not actually controversial among scholars.

While CRT explicitly focuses on systems, not individuals, and while it is largely limited to legal theory classes rather than public schools, Republicans have turned this theory into the ideas that it attacks white Americans and that history teachers are indoctrinating schoolchildren to hate America. In the past three and half months, the Fox News Channel has talked about CRT nearly 1300 times.

Republicans are open about their hopes that pushing cultural issues, especially CRT, will win them control of Congress in 2022. “This is the Tea Party to the 10th power,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former adviser, said in an interview with Politico reporters Theodoric Meyer, Maggie Severns, and Meridith McGraw. “I look at this and say, ‘Hey, this is how we are going to win.’ I see 50 [House Republican] seats in 2022. Keep this up,” Bannon said. “I think you’re going to see a lot more emphasis from Trump on it and DeSantis and others. People who are serious in 2024 and beyond are going to focus on it.”





Most dramatic, though, was today’s testimony of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, at a House Armed Services Committee hearing to discuss the 2022 Defense Department budget. When Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested that Critical Race Theory was weakening the U.S. military, the general responded sharply.

“A lot of us have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is,” he began, “but I do think it’s important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read.” He got more specific: “I want to understand white rage, and I'm white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out….” Our military, he said, comes from the American people, “so it is important that the leaders, now and in the future, do understand it. I've read Mao Zedong. I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist. So what is wrong with understanding—having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?” Milley said.

“And,” he continued, “I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, noncommissioned officers of being, quote, ‘woke’ or something else, because we're studying some theories that are out there." He went on to outline, in broad strokes, the historical power differential between Black and white Americans."

The simple answer is there is one good racism and that is anti-racism. Don't you know?
