Laughs in Turkish!

Race baiting became a big money making opportunity decades ago. Even though there is virtually no racism in America these days, these societal parasites have to keep promoting the false notion that we are more racist than ever.

These are the same people who invented "micro-aggressions". That's when you have a certain look on you face then you're a racist. It doesn't matter if you were thinking of something completely different, you're still a racist.

These people created the idea that if you're white you are a racist unless you vote Democrat. You can be forgiven of being racist if you're a Democrat. You can, just like Biden, say the most racist stuff imaginable but you've been forgiven and that's all that matters.

Those people profiting off of race baiting will never quit as long as they can get the government and/or donors to give them money.

Al Sharpton would be broke and unknown if he did not manufacture racism.

If Al Sharpton was broke and unknown, America would be a better place.

Racism, more correctly ethnicitism, exists in a microcosm of society.

Believers that trust the science surely know that humans are not genetically diverse enough to be classified in races - 99.9% shared DNA in ALL humans.

Unlike gender, race in reference to humans is entirely a social construct based on stereotypes

One could argue that the terms "race" and "racism" are racist...except that those terms are ethnicitist.

You hit the nail right on the head. I agree 100%.

I wouldn’t say that racism barely exists in America today. In fact, I think it’s increased lately due to all the talk about micro aggressions and such. A self-fulfilling prophecy, if you will. Whether or not that was by design to maintain racial divides or not I think can be debated, but I could see it. After all, the whole issue of racial division in the U.S. was ignited through similar means.

And there definitely needs to be change made regarding micro aggression culture. While I stand by the statement that “intention means nothing in the fact of impact”, I think overall there needs to be more grace and understanding in these interactions. Meeting halfway as to not burn bridges over small misunderstandings.

Are we in a place where everyone is treated equal? We’re as close as ever. And while I have seen for myself that inequality still exists, I wonder if continuing to pursue equality will only cause divides to worsen. Think about it like washing a cast iron skillet.

Micro-aggressions only created a new way to fabricate racism where it may or may not exist. You cannot always judge a person's facial expressions as meaning what you think it means. And if you are already biased into thinking that everyone is racist then you interpretation of facial expressions will always be that the person is racist.

To me, micro-aggression is mostly a real false science that was invented so as to keep the money flowing to the race baiters. There maybe some truth to it but for the most part it is just guessing what is on someone's mind based on a reaction.

For example, if I a white guy look at a black guy and I make an expression of disgust, does that mean I am disgusted with blacks as a whole, just this guy or did a bird just poop on his shoulder. Or maybe he has a booger hanging out of his nose. That is not to say that blacks are notorious for having boogers hanging out of his nose or birds single out black guys to poop on but this kind of stuff just happens and it happens to everyone.

What I am saying is there is a whole lot of reasons for facial expressions. Blaming all negative expressions on racism is just looking for racism.

Some people have RBF and to accuse them of something just because they have RBF is complete ignorance. In case you are unfamiliar with RBF, it stands for Resting Bitch Face. Some people just look mean when they are doing or thinking about anything in particular.

To include micro-aggression in with all other racism focuses too much in the wrong direction. What you want to focus on is what did someone do to you, not about how someone made you feel. Did you lose a job because of racism, where you excluded from entering a public building because of racism. Were you assaulted because of your race. That is real racism.

Just because someone looked at you funny is not racism. Just because you are of one race and you enter a room of people who are of another race and it makes you feel like an outsider is not racism.

How you feel is not racism.

Racism is something negative that happens to you based completely on your race. All races have racist people, it is not just white people. The so-called "people of color", the idea where you lump people of every race other than white into a group so that you can pit them against white people is racist. And those races, ethnicities or whatever in that group will be racist against other people in that group.

Anyway, I'm just rambling on. I'll shut up now

Yeah I don’t need all this mansplained to me; I’ve read White Fragility.

LOL!!!

I think it’s a strawman argument to say the left only sees evil performed by white people. And it only serves to fuel pointless racial arguments when there are bigger fish to fry
