Currently, we are living in the most racially equal country in the history of our species
No we are not. In terms of racial equality the USA stands entirely in the shadow Canada and Britain.
yet this victim mentality that all types of people have, black and white, is hindering our progress.
The so- called victim mentality you throw around so freely is really reactionism aimed at real threats to the Black community orchestrated and carried out by some government thugs in police uniforms.
Today I witnessed a reporter doing nothing other than his job, which was to cover the verdict at the scene, get harassed, sworn at and even have things thrown at him. He wasn't acting racist. He wasn't doing anything wrong at all. He was in fact helping the protesters cause by giving them more coverage. Yet he was disrespected and humiliated.
I don't believe for a moment that most white journalist have black interests in mind when they write their media input.BTW If it was a Breitbart or Fox News reporter THATwas intimidated he got what he/she deserved.
And the mob of black people who were bullying and chasing this man were allowed to get away with it because well, they're upset and they are the ultimate victims in our society so it's okay.
Must have been a Fox News or Breitbart reporter.
The problem is that this is happening to all people. Kids are brought up seeing and learning that the people who cry the most and scream loudest get special attention.
Thats been the case for thousands if years.
They don't have to work as hard to achieve the thing they want. Generations are growing up entitled, lazy and loud when they don't get their way, because they are being taught that this is what's normal. Being taught that everyone's a victim of the government or "the man" and you can blame all your poor choices on them is terrible for
Thats plain fantasy. Most Blacks are God-fearing Christians who work hard for a living.
I guess you don't see them...they must be invisible.
Turns out colour doesn't mean anything in terms of economic equality anymore. Barack Obama just served two terms as President therefore an argument for racial bias on a societal level is invalid.
There are at least three so called societal levels...white, honorary white snd black. All three levels have been socially conditioned to believe that white is superior to black.
That includes the Obamas. But more on point...don't try to make Obamas successful campaigns for the presidecy a sign of thr times. RW white males, and the women who love them tried their damnest to stop him both times.
We live in a fact-less society, where people believe unproven things because everyone else believes it. That's what religion is. A delusion. Mass hysteria of the highest scale and we are seeing it again in this "age of government oppression", which does not exist anywhere except in the minds of the "born victims" generation
Often the very "proof" we seek is tainted by bias.and is frequently worthless except for
use as ammunition that cannot be verified.
Most of us , right, left, or in the middle tend to follow media that supports our own views.
Many on the right shut out the opposition and declare it to be fake news no matter how factual the ipoint might be.
Humanity has to keep moving forward and the only way this will happen is if we move forward from the injustices of the past, and recognise our fellow human as our equal and our partner in the business that is life.
Sounds good. But the past injustices keep reoccurring with increasing frequency.
