    So, what have we accomplished since the 1950's and the KKK? Nothing if everything we do has to be race based. MLK's dream of judging a man by his character and not by the color of his skin is dead. We're, today still judging by the color of one's skin. So white is replaced with black or brown or yellow or red or green and purple. We're not looking at folks as all of us as a member of the human race, but as subgroups based on the color of one's skin.

    I doubt if many either left or right, conservative or liberal, republican or democrat, white, brown, black or whatever has the ability to see that race still pervades when in the 1950's and especially the 1960's it was all about becoming a color blind society. We've failed.

    The closest thing we have to a color blind organization here in the good old USA is the military. Where race is replaced by sergeant, captain, private, general etc. Where promotion is based on merit, not skin color. So a hospital will decide who get treated based on skin color and not need. I take it you're okay with that.

    That doesn't surprise me. So we replace one race with another, it still boils down to race has its privileges. I suppose they're very few dreamers left in this world.

    It's 100% false. You know it but you continue to spread misinformation.

    Opportunity has been equal for decades. That's why People of Colour are financially (etc) ahead of whites in America.

    "never had before" LOL :D

    Exactly what opportunities have been denied to minorities? Spell it out, and explain exactly how they're prevented from accessing those opportunities.

    They're vaguely correct - but it's because African Americans are less likely to SEEK healthcare, not because they're seeking it and being denied. Even when they have access to free care, they're less likely to use it than other groups are to access paid care.

    How on earth did you decide I'm okay with this?

    I've repeatedly posted to the effect that it's horrifically racist.

    What an ugly ad hominem, without any basis in reality. This post is despicable.

    I support equality. If one party has to be completely dismantled to achieve that, so be it.

    I have no desire for one party rule. That is a strawman of your own creation. The two party system is why the nation is in the shape it is. One side has gone completely off the rails and the other is following.

    Wait. Are you suggesting that, in the past, doctors would treat the white patients, and then go goof off in the break room while black patients got ignored?

    That doesn’t say I want one party, it says I want the deletion of one party — hopefully many will take its place. Reading comprehension please.
