Dare to Ignore Race

Racism is the belief that race is a primary determinant of a person's ability or character and that one race is inherently superior to another. The natural expression of racism is discrimination. Racism is unethical, abhorrent, and conflicts with America's foundational Judeo-Christian value system.

Do-gooders have been striving for decades to combat racism through legislation and other policies that outlaw discrimination based upon race. These policies have spawned an industry within and outside of government that has institutionalized the identification, study, and analysis of race. This industry feeds upon the existence of racism to justify even more discussion, funding, and study of racism. It's a self-empowering merry-go-round. Those involved in this race industry have lost their way and are no longer focused on eliminating racism. Liberals and conservatives alike are caught up in this fatuity.
