    We’re all Americans. So why is the left obsessed with race when no country, even liberal approved socialist countries, aren’t obsessed with race.

    abscessed? freudian slip? ;)

    Liberals go overboard on finding racism
    Conservatives go overboard minimizing it

    Just like most issues

    Truth is somewhere in the middle

    If white people didn’t exist, where would everyone else be?

    Are you a fan of Star Trek? If you are, the ep with Frank Gorshin whose face is half white/half black hits the mark

    A % of people need to feel superior - if there were no racial/religious/sexual differences - it would be height/weight/hair color, etc

    A lot of times "racial" issues are not about race, just that some people are a**holes

    However sometimes it is

    How does one know?

    Because that is the preferred way to overthrow our system. Class warfare is not successful here because our large middle class and many would like to be rich someday. Race is something we cannot run away from so the American Marxists like to divide people of color against whites. They see that as a fifty fifty split. Then they can delegitimize our Founding by white men. Unfortunately for them, I think it is almost over. The Virginia election sort of told them we've had enough and it won't work.

    We had our time ruling the world. It was glorious but now it's time to share.

    (Well, perhaps not everything. Gotta keep an eye on those Chinese).

    Institutional racism is caused by white people who don't respect a high valuation of racial identity. Oiow, its racist to not be racist.

    Basically the term doesnt mean anything anymore.

    No we're not, though you may have inadvertently hit of part of the issue there.
    If you recognising it isn't as significant an issue outside America, why are you generically blaming it on "the left" (whatever that means). Have you spotted the actual common factor here yet? What kind of person is starting unprompted threads about race on internet forums for example?

    I agree that on average the truth is in the middle, but on each specific issue there is usually some fundamental principle that one side is violating.

    We the people are not racist. The USA is not racist. But we do have many politicians who are racist and try to win or hold on to office/power by throwing around the racist bomb. The people are tired of hearing the word. Shallow politicians are the last to get the memo.

    If you're conservative the liberals will call you racist.

    Indeed. If we did a search on the threads about race, gender and sexuality I think we'd find the overwhelming majority are NOT started by 'lefties'. Yet, we are the ones obsessed (or abcessed, if you prefer...)

    Because Republicans win the "white" vote by about a 55%-45% margin. Democrats win the "black" vote by a 90% plus margin. This means that after 100 white votes Republicans hold a 10 vote lead, and after only 11 black votes, Democrats hold the same 10 vote lead. In that sense, 11 black votes cancel out 100 white votes.

    Given the above reality, Democrats do everything they can to increase black voter turnout, and in their estimation, the best way to drive black voter turnout is to inflame racial tensions, which is precisely why BLM surfaces primarily during election years, and is mostly silent in off election years.

    The cruel irony is that the party that pretends to be for a color blind society (Democrats) is the same party that desperately needs racial strife in order to win elections.

    Why does the media, the dems, and the liberals all attack any black conservative politician?

    Except you forgot about the 32+ million illegal aliens. The left loves them some brown people, as they don't mind being on the plantation in exchange for cradle-to-grave free **** handouts. As long as we let this anchor baby farce exist, we'll be dealing with the Dem's racial obsession. It worked with blacks, now they want it with browns.

    Go ahead, go through my history. Also go through the hard core libs and not only see what threads they created, but how many times they cried about something being racist, like math, global warming, the names of astronomical bodies, and so on.

    In order for the plantation to work, there has to be a permanent oppressed underclass. Democrats love them some slaves. They never got over folks taking them away from them in the civil war. And now, we see the use of "racism" as the tool democrats are going to value signal in an effort to convince the folks they are trying to enslave that they are actually doing it for their own good. It's pretty insidious. So, race is the lever, if it weren't race, they'd be using class. It's the same marxist BS, just different eras.

    What made me create this thread were the liberal talking heads on TV as I watched the election results last night. As I flipped through the channels I kept seeing white liberals blaming the potential election loss of another white liberal on racism and white supremacy.

    It seems Biden turned the people who voted for him into racist white supremacists.

    It helps feed the marxist revolution. Anything that unsettles the public is to its benefit. These things that make no sense to you and me make perfect sense to a marxist trying to "fundamentally change" America.
