This is what equity is. Instead of ADVANCING race relations, the new direction is "give them a taste of their own medicine. Use the same control and power tactics that WERE the toolbox of WHITE racism. Use the same methods to make people feel unwanted and inferior. They determine who has the right to speech by scoring intersectionality points based on race/sex/gender/disability/economic status. They restrict criticism of anything that has to do with THEIR values/culture. They punish people for disagreeing with them. They USE derogatory terms like the skinheads and pedigreed white racists do.
IOWords -- THey've ACHEIVED the power and control thru BRUTAL civil rights battles. And NOW with power/control in every IMPORTANT INSTITUTION -- colleges/corporations/government/media/sport/arts/public schools ====== It IS "systemic minority power" that is theirs to use. I can more easily DEFEND "systemic minority POWER" in this current society -- then I can even FIND the "systemic institutional racism" as a major impediment in ANY of those institutions I listed above.
They SQUANDER that power and control to ADOPT the techniques of the white racists who persecuted them. Rather than USE that power and control to FURTHER achieve REAL equity socially and economically for their own communities.
That waste of "racial reconciliation" that BOUGHT them the power and control and EQUALITY -- can only bring back re-segregation and polarization. And the "activists" FEAR racial reconciliation because it would make THEM irrelevant. That's the special magical spell that POLITICS exploits to REMIND them that ALL OF THE ADVANCES that have been made are fragile and the only thing that PRESERVES that power is voting correctly.
But they are wrong on that. The only thing that PROTECTS THE GAINS MADE in race reconciliation -- is USING THOSE gains to fix the inequalities WITHIN their own races. Not wasting them on retribution, redistribution, marxist inspired "re-imagining" of capitalism and reparations.
The targets of their retribution are tough enough to muddle thru. Just like the derogatory senseless racial flame throwing on the OLD race forum made nobody wiser or richer. But if the re-segregation and polarization INCREASES due to their misguided actions, they will vaporize the power and control that folks of ALL COLORS fought hard for in past 80 years.
Flacaltenn, this is bs. First off, there has been no racial reconciliation. Second, the only people talking about revenge are white racially "biased" people on the right. All along there has been a section of the white community with zero-sum thinking. You are part of that group and Lisa definitely is a member.
Nobody fears racial reconciliation but people like you and lisa. - All this white grievance crap has been is whites scared of losing their preferential status. What you believe and have posted is a bunch of psychosis-riddled mumbo jumbo created only by whites who are racially "biased" and a few mentally retarded people of color who know their gravy train ends if there is real reconciliation because whites will no longer line up to pay money to hear them say what the racially "biased" want to hear about blacks, won't be able to get those fat grant checks from right-wing foundations and won't be able to sell any more of their books downing blacks to make money.
People like Candace Owens will go out of business.
As usual, you've got it all wrong and it is because your problems with race are serious. Racial reconciliation will not be done by your rules We have tried that and every freakin time whites like you rework the system to maintain their preference while denying equality to others. Stop reading that right-wing crap about equity, because they have it all wrong. End the white paternalism because you are incapable of speaking to what people of color want. We tell you and yet you do not listen and then you come up with a load of horse crap like this.
Whites like you are so arrogant that you believe everyone thinks like you. You make your comments without thinking and your position comes from being the privileged white male that has never faced racism. You have a simple minded understanding of racism because you've never faced it. This simple minded understanding has you posting foolishness like you did in the quoted passages.
Consider how things would be if we took the revenge your psychosis allows you to believe. When you think about these 246 years as a black person, it makes no sense to fight for all this time to end a system of oppression and then restart the same oppression because you are in charge. Logically, what would be the outcome of this so-called revenge? A nation of whites fighting against us as we fought, a country of unrest, mistrust, and hatred just like we have now, with the same constant division among the citizens of this nation. Yeah, that’s what we black folks want. To reverse the violence and hate so that we can say we won. Just think about how stupid that sounds, and yet people believe this because of idiots like Coulter, Prager, Savage, Cernovich, and others who have consistently baited white racial fears based upon lunacy. These people were unknown, and now they are rich. So just exactly who are the people lining their pockets by using racism?
The people YOU listen to are the ones who don't want reconciliatiion. The people YOU listen to want to keep us divided so they stay relevant. The people YOU listen to are scared of equality, equity, diversity and multiculturalism because THEY are the ones scared of losing jobs. And so are you, lisa and a bunch of other far rghts in this frum.
“There is another class of white people who make a business of keeping the advantages of whites maintained by gaslighting the public into a belief that white racism is now an illusion and that it is whites who face anti-white racism. … Some of these people do not want whites to lose preference, because they do not want to lose their jobs … There is a certain class of white race- “problem solvers” who don’t want America to get well.”
