Whitenes is a social construct?

[Mortimer]

In america indeed it is partly a social construct, or it does have a biological fundament but it has social construct overtones. The americans created the "free white men natural born americans". That is not something which always existed, they set the boundaries of who is or who is not white and who gets naturalised.

I'm a Christian. So I don't believe there are any racists. We all started from Adam and Eve. After that, there was a reset, with Noah and his three sons, and their respective wives.

There are no races. There is only the Human race.

Economic Racism and racism is a alive and well in the US.

Right wingers needed some way to practice their right wing bigotry; manufacturing something and insisting they are Right simply because they are on the right wing, is one way to do it.

So all racists must be false Christians?

Depends on what you mean.

If you mean is racism as a part of society... No. That simply true.

If you mean there are racists people in the world.... well yeah. As long as there are people, there will be racism. You yourself, have posted now dozens of clearly racists posts, against white people you don't like. So the fact there are racists people in the world.... yeah. Always will be. You are proof of that.

If your goal in life is to get to some magical moment in time, when there is not a single racists person on the planet.... You are going to be a very sad angry person for your entire life, because that will never happen.

Go read about Rwanda. Black people killing other black people because they were a different race of black people. *shrug*. As long as there are people, there will be racism.

As far as economic racism.... no, doesn't exist. Thousands of examples.

Poor people are poor, because they make poor choices.
Rich people are rich, because they make rich choices.

It's not much more complicated than that.

EVERY country sets the boundaries of who gets naturalized.
The US perhaps LESS so than any other country.
We also have auto-citizenship for non-citizen births.
Also rare among prosperous countries.

Try being naturalized in the Middle East, or Asia (China, Japan, etc)
Europe is also tougher.

White privilege is a super clever way to obliterate American values , history and the constitution and turn us into a Bolshevik Banana Republic

Does not exist. There is no "white privilege". There is "myths to support idiotic left-wing positions" though.

Are you talking about black guys who sucker punch and rob white people?

Then why do right wingers insist they are Right simply because they are on the right wing not because they have superior, valid arguments?

All you gotta do is clean up your agendas. You will not or can not. But the costs to keep things the same are fixed to never going lower and keep rising.
