What ever happened to the "Post Racial" thing?

[MaryL]

It died big time. Because Democrats needed a new "thing" to push their otherwise weak meaningless bullshit.

In “post-racial America,” shit happens as do racist rants from race baiters like Al (not too) Sharpton. For further information on the impossibility of a post-racial America, there are a few USMB members (black and white) who can’t comprehend life here without racial reference.

I remember posting on this board in 2017, and it was all "racism is dead, lets get past it". By Ravi and Skydancer old school posters. They are gone. One committed suicide by moderators. The other ghosts this board. I'm still here. And guess what? We have Jesse Smollett got 10 days in jail for perjury creating a race fraud. I am so disgusted with this shit.

There’s a new race to hate, it’s called hate whitey. Thank your crt teachings.

Republicans were so unwilling to give it up that they gave us Trump

It blows me away, how fast liberals flip on race. We got years incrementally subtly trying to ignore race and do a 180 degree turn into everything IS about race. But here we are, EVERYTHING is about race. It's almost like post racialism never happened...

Absolutely ^ absurd and baseless fantasy.

I’ve noted it before. Once upon a time (not all that long ago) we were told by our liberal brothers and sisters that what America needed was a by-God “colorblind” society (to repair the society’s damage of race consciousness).

Now? Holy shit! To say such a thing is like liberal/progressive fantasy. Now, they claim, we shouldn’t be color blind. Nor should we engage in racial appropriation. We should appreciate our differences (cultural and racial) — except that maybe white people shouldn’t. Instead, white people should bow and grovel and scrape and apologize for the historical sins of prior generations of some whites who were racist. But colorblind? No!

It turns out, that too is itself racist.

Who Knew?

In todays dysfunctional society, anything and everything is racist.
Its gotten so absurd that math 2+2 is now racist, and even a huge boulder setting on land near a college campus since the Ice Age was declared racist and was removed. ...

 

[MaryL]

So we somehow shifted gears from neutral to 6th gear when it comes to race. Why? I've posted on USMB for years, I remember when so called "liberals" where at least trying to fight REAL racism and oppression. Not this cheap juvenile rebellious self hate schtick.

Biden is killing us, but that's good? Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

The "post racial" thing was just ruse to get people to vote for Democrats. But it went away after they found that it didn't stir up enough hate to cause people to vote for Democrats. So they went back to calling everyone who disagreed with them "racist"

But even that lost its effectiveness along the way, so now they just call you a "Russian-something or other."

It's the "new thing."

Imagine my shock that you would venture to even mention the mere possibility some group called "democrats" would do such a thing! Yeah, they do that, they left US, I can not, in good conscience, ever support whomever calls themselves "democrats" now, never ever.

Think it's bad now? Just wait until this Ukraine thing blows over and the Democrats come up with the next "new thing." They'll be calling us "Damned dirty Martians" next, you watch.

Once you free yourself from the social construct of "race" none of it matters much anymore.....Try it, it's very liberating.

That said I do struggle with how to refer to those like Al Sharpton now because "race hustler" so easily to say. Calling him anti-white just does not have the same ring to it but it's accurate.

Ukraine is a “thing”?

Oh I get it……The RW narrative is pay no attention to Ukraine when you can be worrying about Mexicans at our border

I have to live with the crime and drugs coming across the Mexican border. Last I checked, there are no Russians or Ukrainians selling drugs and robbing stores in my neighborhood.

That’s too bad

In my neighborhood, Mexicans mow lawns, make beds and do menial labor

It’s really simple to end race battles but when your die hard racist asshole, all you can do is identify with titles like

i’m an “ african american” i’m and irish american, Get the hell over yourselves and just call yourself a gawd dam AMERICAN celebrate yourselves with the cultural celebration days they have . But you all can’t figure out why they are working so hard at removing every holiday on the calendar that has to do with Christians.
The jab is your gas chamber hate to break it to you denying it won’t make it go away.
