At least you have an opinion on part of it, and shared it. Thanks.
One thing I've noticed is many of the people outspoken on the diversity side of it, (the ones that arent just sheep without a reason) seem to have a family member or friend who they see as a victim. Someone who is oppressed, so they need to identify an oppressor. You seem to have identified one, but see that it doesnt make sense to act on it. Doesnt that mean there is a flaw in the thought pattern logic?

No. I see racism through the eyes of my wife, and see that we still have plenty of people in this country that don’t see everyone as equal.
Ignoring those people exist and pretending we can all just move on like the color of someone’s skin doesn’t affect their lives only perpetuates racism. It may not be directly racist, but it’s certainly indirectly benefiting racism.
Questioning if racism still exists isn’t the point of this thread. I think we can all agree it does. The question is, do you do something about it, systemically? That’s “Social Justice.” You may believe no, but you should at least acknowledge there is an issue, you just believe doing nothing is the least harmful way of addressing the issue. That’s an okay belief. Believing there isn’t a problem in the first place is just ignorance. That’s why so many of my comments are simply outlining statements.

Using it only perpetuates it.
Alot of folks out there seem to be just saying "we have to do something", and they'll do it, even if its a bad idea.

The only way multi-culturalism can work is to give everybody magic glasses that make everybody else look like their own race.

That's also the fun of it too.
You get to define it to be whatever you want it to be.
Whatever your current gripe or pet peeve is.
Whatever you want.

Well, my, my, aren't you just the generous little elitist, deigning to "educate" all of "ignorant" PFF with your "outlining statements" to keep it simple for everyone....
Yeah, yeah, "you didn't mean it like that".....just like the last time you did it in this thread.....but it's obviously a pattern now.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-13-2021).]

Do you believe racism is no longer an issue for people of color?

I believe that people like you are the biggest part of that "issue" because you separate, categorize and classify people based on their color.
You've spent several paragraphs in this thread doing just exactly that, trying to justify what you do.
You refuse to acknowledge your own racism while you merrily project it onto others thinking that somehow absolves you of it.
It's disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-14-2021).]

Did everybody see Biden's Civil Rights DOJ pick is a straight up racist who believes Whites are inferior mentally, spiritually and physically? They're trying to scrub it from being shared on social media.
Kristien Clarke put it in writing that Whites are inferior, written while she was at Harvard. She's also very obviously part White.
