A couple interesting articles today on the status of America. Study finds racial inequality persists 50 years after Kerner Report. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Socie...quality-persists-50-years-after-Kerner-Report —Barriers to equality are posing threats to democracy in the United States as the country remains segregated along racial lines and child poverty worsens, says a study examining the nation 50 years after the release of the landmark 1968 Kerner Report. Anti-Semitism in U.S. surged in 2017, a new report finds. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a...new-report-finds/ar-BBJEb9b?OCID=ansmsnnews11 Harassment, threats and vandalism cases targeting Jews in the United States surged to near-record levels in 2017, jumping 57% over the previous year, according to a new report by a prominent civil rights organization. The Anti-Defamation League counted 1,986 anti-Semitic incidents - the second-highest number since the group began tracking them nearly four decades ago. Just when I thought it was time for us "old white guys" to have our turn at being discriminated. Maybe the country doesn't want to be homogenized. The best I could figure by reading the articles is that it is Trumps fault. Makes me wonder how one person can have so much power. Could it be that the races really do want to live with their own kind? Is it race or is it a economic caste system? It seems like we have been talking this topic for over 50 years but now we have more groups feeling slighted like the Latinos, Muslims and Whites. Are the Asians next?
In my own experience working in a very diverse office with over a thousand people, I have found that most of the other groups other than us old white dudes self segregate. The arab friends I made at work would begin speaking Arabic in front of me whenever one of there friends would join in. I notice that the Chinese, the Iranians, the Philipinos all self segregate. I am sick to death of this stinking Identity politics, and all of the anti-white racism so prevalent now. White supremacist is now a phrase I see used constantly, whereas a decade ago you never heard the phrase. The Democrats and our "esteemed media" have been working overtime to keep us all divided.
I have noticed the same thing and the other whites notice it also. I will say, the female gender are more likely to mix at lunch but not so much to mingle after work. The media and some Democrats have resurrected the white Supremacist crap. It's not that they don't exist, it is, they have no power and not an attraction for the great majority of whites. It is the media who is giving those guys exposure. That guy that run his car into the crowd and killed that girl gave the media exactly what they wanted. That way they can put all whites who disagree with the agenda as white supremist, haters, Nazis ect. Here's a real flash for most of those who think most whites are racist. Your wrong, most of us go on our way and worry about our own family and their welfare. Rarely do we discuss anything about another race. If we do it's mainly about a ball player. Most of us have been listening to the whining and "poor me" rhetoric for so long I believe we are just indifferent to it all.
Your society has always been what it is. Your media machine is now out and out owned by consolidated concentrated corporate wealth and power; by design. Yup, Clinton deregulated the FCC. Who wants and foments division again? Your power structure, since Bacon's Rebellion, that's when the aristocracy first undertook "identity politics", they have leveraged is ever since, and here you are participating and cooperating. "They" self segregate. In a society founded upon genocide and slavery in which the founders engaged in identity politics by "granting" the right to vote ONLY to affluent white land holding males and oppressed everyone else. Those two things; the aristocracy's response to Bacon's rebellion and the founders' "granting" the vote to only affluent white land holding males marks the genesis of identity politics in america, and the recognition that outnumbered, it would benefit the aristocracy to forever keep the masses divided and quibbling amongst themselves so the wealth extraction, redistribution and concentration could continue unabated.
I'm "participating and cooperating" ? By pointing it out and how much I hate it? Look Pal, I never owned any slaves and nobody is oppressed in America so you can get off of that train. It's old and tiresome. BTW, I don't have a problem with those that self segregate. It's called freedom of association. I'm just pointing out things I notice, and you have to be blind not to see that anti-white racism is the most prevalent racism in America today. Glad to see you survived the Ban, I enjoy some of your posts.
