It is just getting so very tiresome. The racism stuff. You know what I always skip over when looking for something to watch? The latest entry in “black people triumph over racism” movies. They are just boring as heck. And in two different ways: they aren’t historically accurate and all of their views are 21st century…they don’t, that is, even try to tell us what a black person in, say, 1940 might have thought about things. They tell us what a “studies” graduate wants the past to be…not what the past actually was. And they never show the real triumph – that black Americans from 1865 to 1965 switched from being almost entirely illiterate field hands to being integral to the highest aspects of American economic and cultural life. You’ll get a movie claiming the black woman got us to the Moon (an absurdity as 100,000 people got us there)…but not the movie of the black sharecropper who wound up middle class.
But we can’t talk about that – it shows America works. That even when emerging from slavery and being held down by various legal and cultural bigotries, if you are hard working and sober, you will get ahead. If you look at the run of movies and such on it over the past 20 years then apparently highly educated black slaves fought for the freedom of a fat welfare chick to have a bizarre hair style. And I think we’re all getting done with that.
I first noticed it about ten years ago among white youngsters – a growing contempt for the whole race system. And why not? They were being told from preschool that their white skin makes them devils who can never be cured of racism and who must crawl on their knees just to be barely tolerable in polite society. They could see themselves striving and getting nothing while other kids, with other skin colors, quickly figured out that they had been given a pass…don’t do the work, back talk, even be violent and the system would still reward them, and better than the white or Asian kids who actually put in the effort. People do notice injustice. It can’t be missed. Just as a black lawyer in 1926 could clearly tell that society was unjustly discriminating against him, so can a white kid today see it.
And we do need to get completely done with it. Race must play zero role in how we decide things. I don’t care how much you claim racism caused you a problem. Just deal with it. There were black people forging ahead when genuine Klansmen were out for blood. If your great-great-grandpa could become literate and own his home with that going on, then you’ve got no excuse. These days, the Klan is a division of the SPLC and so ain’t much of a problem. But here’s the thing – race will become a problem if we keep dwelling on it.
That is, if we keep up this system today of racial spoils where if you’re dark skinned you get advantages not available to white or Asian skin, then guess what will happen? The Pretend Racism being used today will become Real Racism – the whites and Asians will join up to assert privileges for themselves…and as the combination massively outnumbers the Black/Brown population, they will win and do whatever the heck they want. And feel good about doing it. The attempt by the Left to elevate Race isn’t going to lead to peace and justice…its going to lead to a system more overtly racist than anything Jim Crow ever thought of.
I understand that the Texas university system is now dispensing with the various “studies” program – that is, the mills which grind out bogus degrees while propoagandizing young people into believing that there’s a cabal of white racists out to get them. This is a good first step – but we have to get after it all. Racism must end – and the only way to end it is to destroy the groups promoting it. Easy to spot: they mostly identify themselves by some sort of civil rights activity. Defund them. Arrest them (we’ve seen in BLM how the leaders are just raking it in for themselves). Insult them on a day to day basis. Bring suit (civil and criminal) against them for conspiring to deny civil rights. Get rid of these hate filled leeches…so that we may have peace, and an end to racism.
The thing that a lot of white Liberals either forget, or, if they’re younger, were never taught, is that persecution of blacks from the end of the Civil War till the mid-1960s was almost exclusively perpetrated by Democrats, albeit, mostly southern Democrats. A few of them became Republicans, but the vast majority went to their graves hating blacks. Then in the late 1960s they or their successors did a 180 and decided they could put blacks back on the plantation, albeit a different kind of plantation, by giving them free stuff and discouraging traditional marriage in the black community, resulting in massive out-of-wedlock black births and generational welfare dependency. Then along came Roe v. Wade, and there have actually been years in large cities like New York where black abortions exceeded black births, again thanks to Democrats. We are still reaping the results of that despicable, unforgivable behavior.
