Eh, talking about race is a thought-terminating cliché. I think Conservatives should articulate a constructive vision towards transcending this and putting themselves above race issues, emphasize a message of “no more hyphenated-Americans, we’re all Americans” or some such.
Someone needs to start pushing the idea of a true post-racial society, and it might as well be us.
Trying to ignore the obvious by being race-neutral is extremely harmful in the long run. Races do exist. People are helped and hindered by their race, not just in their personal and family lives, but in their community, at the academic level, in employment, incarceration, health care and many other things.
And don’t for a minute think that this argument is from a liberal perspective.
Slave-descended black Americans are suffering terribly today, mostly from “self-inflicted wounds”. Skin color has nothing to do with it, either, as even African immigrant blacks recognize that s-d blacks have a horribly toxic culture, and they want nothing to do with it or them.
It is indeed a “race problem”, but from within, not people of other races oppressing them. And yet s-d blacks and everybody else, for that matter, are not *permitted* to see the truth, because of the MSM *embargo* on the truth.
And it has gone far beyond the MSM. Many governments and police departments absolutely refuse to state the obvious, omitting the racial factor when it is inherent to a situation, or even boldly lying and denying it when confronted by the truth.
It is insane that when s-d blacks go on a racist, mob rampage, that it is not reported as such. Or *prosecuted* as such! What in heaven’s name do they imagine they are accomplishing?
Look at what is happening right now to s-d black Americans:
1) A 70% illegitimacy rate.
2) 30,000 or so abortions every year in NYC alone.
3) 25% of black men are either in prison or on parole.
4) Perpetual sky high unemployment.
5) Very high homicide rate, 95% of which are black-on-black.
6) The list goes on and on.
Here is an online news website that just reports some of what is happening around the urban US. Is anyone bettered by pretending this is not happening? (They even apologize because so many of their stories are about blacks.)
