Advocating for equity, freedom, and justice has no association to victimhood. It is the most powerful way to honor the human beings who persisted through hellish conditions to pave the way for those of us alive now.
While that was a terrifically written OP, and I agree with nearly all of it, there were a few things, there were open to debate.
First? IMO, you are confusing, partisan politics, with issues of in-group/out-group biases and tribal affinities.
This whole notion of, "equity?" within the American system? Where did you ever even get the notion, or impression, that even among the white populations, anyone feels there is any, "equity," or "equality?" Except for the WASPs? At one point in time, every nation, the Irish, the Jews, the Germans, the Italians, the Russians, I could go on, EVERYONE, has been the out-group. Nearly everyone in America understands, there IS NO EQUITY, that is just given, individuals, families, and communities have to work, sacrifice, and strive to get ahead. America is, and always has been, a dog eat dog society. That fact that you have socialist leanings, and want to call everyone that doesn't, a "racist," doesn't go very far on this forum.
This is a socialist idea, "equity," which has nothing to do with race. Of course, there is a larger portion/percentage of people in the black community, which have less wealth and power, than in the dominant society. With that said, you can't PROVE that is a result of systemic racism at this point. If we do a similar analysis, on say, Indian (sub-continent) Americans, or Asian Americans? We will NOT find the same thing. Black Americans, have developed their own subculture, which does not value success as much as other sub-nations in the American nation. That same can be said of Native Americans, many of them just DO NOT value material wealth, power, and individual success, as much as community integration, and individuals supporting each other.
That is part of the inherent fabric of the original culture and fabric of the founding character of this nation. . which Hellbilly rightfully pointed out. The founders thought most of the native nations were savages. They only really respected, and had great reverence for the Iroquois confederacy. The rest? Uncivilized barbarians.
Is there some truth to the systemic discriminatory white supremacist narrative? Maybe, some. . . but I do think your characterization of conservatives and Republicans as, automatically, "racist," because they don't support your socialist world view? Is an straw-man.
When you call conservative blacks who disagree with your politics, as "house blacks," "uncle toms," or otherwise, possessing mental illness, it clearly shows, you are confusing the very real issue of racism and discrimination, with AMERICAN POLITICS. Can you even name a single republican or conservative black that you have respect for? If not, is really devalues, and delegitimizes much of your posting on race, are reveals them as what they are, political screeds.
Folks get really tired of you trying to use the race card, to disingenuously advance your political goals.
ME? I will stand with you to the gates of hell my American brother, to fight for all of my fellow Americans to have equal opportunities before the law. I WILL NOT, however, let race be used as a political weapon by partisans, to divide and destroy the nation . . . The NWO is rushing up quickly to enslave all of us, and united we stand, divided, WE WILL FALL.
As an example? This used to be displayed in the Smithsonian, it is a piece of Critical Race Theory, and clearly aimed and reshaping American culture. . . but really? It has not a bit to do with "WHITE SUPREMACY." I found it interesting when those girls laughed in the video flacaltenn posted, telling those boys, that whites have no culture. And then, academics and the establishment, sit there telling the folks of America, what "whiteness," is, and how it is, "bad."
It is what this nation was founded on. And? It is what folks from Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, STILL come here to this day, in overwhelming numbers, to enjoy. It is non-sense to try to recast this as. . . "white supremacy." It is why more folks flock here, than any other place on Earth, for the chance at individual sovereignty, for freedom, civil liberties, and civil rights. All of it? Was ostensibly guaranteed, and made possible by a government first invented by the Iroquois'
"Great Law of the Peace."
But any socialist/Jacobinist, that comes on here, and attempts to use race to divide us all, and destroy that? Is going to continue to meet with a certain level of resistance.
