Race awareness syndrome

[MaryL]

Blacks are 14% of American culture. But this new normal constant insistence focusing on blacks is getting old.
I am not going to praise blacks or demonize them. I am really tired of this worship of blacks. Or the worship of all things black, as if they just crawled out from a rock and where just "discovered" ten years ago. They are human and racism is bad. I get it. Can we move on from this?

Be that way then. No Kwanzaa presents for you.

So, I am heartbroken. What did I miss?

Not much. A bunch of stuff made out of sticks and rocks.

But seriously, all that "racial awareness" throughout 2020 did one thing: It made me aware of how comfortable I am in my own white skin.

We get heartwarming stories like "Figures" black women help NASA...yadda yadda, ignore Galileo and Von Braun and 99% white European males.

I'm quite aware that we are meant to celebrate different races and see them as equally relevant.

However, I just can't help that I find NASCAR more appealing.

The high school kids of my new black next door neighbors had a halloween house party last night and boy was I disappointed--no loud music, no fights, no gun fire, nothing stolen. Even black kids are getting as boring as the white ones.

Take popular programs from say 50 years ago, "Leave it to Beaver" to say "Picket fences". Blacks where represented as they where...14% of the populace. And NOW, say modern programs? 80% are NOW black. So, HOW does overrepresenting 14% of the populace become normal?

Racism is bad. I get it. But this constant "Blacks are the center of the universe" or "Backs never do anything wrong EVER because whites did bad stuff and racism". Just stop with that.

I am white, 76% us are. Big deal. Blacks are 14% of the population. So why this HUGE shift and focus on blacks? I am just wondering. Did I miss something?

Lol…. you used Wehrner von Braun to make your point….

White liberal guilt, appeasement, Stockholm Syndrome, whatever you want to call it. Let's face it: The media is ran by primarily white liberals. They feel if they over-represent minorities, those minorities won't beat them up on the playground and steal their lunch money. And their bicycle.

Project paper clip, Verner Vonn BRAUN. Um excuse me? What the hell have liberals accomplished? I love peanuts and Geo. Washington Carver. I am allergic to peanuts (not kidding).

You need Mexicans. Nothing says random gunfire like a Mexican birthday party.

Those are hilarious. They shoot guns in the air then the bullets come down dropping people mid dance. Kick, drop.

Do they know their hero Barack Hussein Obama is a war criminal in Libya (and Syria) ?
