We hear a lot about Critical Race Theory and how America is a systemically racist country. Everything is all about skin color and which group — oppressor or oppressed — you belong to. I hesitate to write this article because to even broach the topic of race these days or to offer an honest critique runs the risk of being labeled a racist and being canceled.
We see constant examples of real racism, largely against White people. The evidence is indisputable. Along with the racism comes a colossal double-standard, which should be enough to make your blood boil. In America today, anti-White racism is not only accepted but even fashionable!

.... let's talk a little about how terrible it is in America today (and for the last several decades) to be Black. There are simply no opportunities for Black Americans; no jobs; no career paths; no ability to get an education. Nothing. I don't know how they get by! Oh, I guess you have to exclude the preferential treatment given to black applicants over Whites and Asians at nearly every major university in the country. How about the many government loan programs that are exclusively for Black-owned businesses? Or scholarships that exist exclusively for Black students? How about the fact that grading standards at many colleges have been lowered, which in and of itself is racist and does far more harm than good to those who are accepted? Lowering the bar does not raise anyone up; it only brings us all down.
Most decent people are all for equality of opportunity. They just don't buy into the equity of outcome nonsense. If a student or job applicant is qualified, most don't care what color he is. No one wins when the standards are ignored or lowered

The opportunities are there. In fact, there are more opportunities thanks to affirmative action, minority preferences, race norming and test score adjustment.
Yet people who immigrate here, not speaking English, not knowing the culture, do extremely well and do not have those minority preferences.
The people who have those preferences and who don’t use them are designated as “poor,” “oppressed,” “marginalized,” “discriminated against.” And so they remain poor, all the while blaming their misery on Whitey, who gets taxed extra to pay the way for the people who hate him.
The last thing in the world the democrats want is for the privileged people to rise out of poverty and become productive citizens who love the country. They are useful to the left because they perpetually hate the country. If they ever start loving the country the democrats have no use for them, and do all they can to destroy them.
A Big NO!!!!
Half empty is more attention getting than half full. Profitable too. Ask Sharpton or the Kenyan.
I guess the author of this piece forgot about Wakanda. /S
The interesting question is the classical world. As far as we can see the Romans did not practice any form of skin color discrimination. It wasn’t a concept that existed in that era.
Critical Race Theory says blacks are a failure
Life expectancy for slaves in North America
Far exceeded where they came from
Freedom in 1700s Africa you say
Are you that stupid
Opportunities arc for the negro race has been at lease on a 20 degree path on an xy graph since
But still never enough
Good question, and nope. If a black can’t make in the USA with all the freebies given to blacks then they just ain’t trying.
Whether that is true or not, it doesn't matter.
Just heardba Newsmax dude say essentially, ‘if liberals tell,you thismisnt the greatest nation on earth, tell them to ‘get bent, we live in the greatest Nation that God ever brought into existence’
No, there has not.
America is the most popular country in the world when it comes to where immigrants of color want to settle.
Life expectancy for slaves in the US was 30 years.
Life expectancy for slaves in South America was 10 years.
Not hearing calls for reparations in South America. Hmmmm . .
In the classical world, there were far fewer opportunities for black people because there were far fewer opportunities for all people.
If the false trope that America was built on the backs of slave labor were true, then Rome would have been incredibly rich, as Rome depended on slaves far more than the United States did.
Rome discriminated against those who were not Roman, which was rational and logical.
Rome was richer than most other places in the Roman world, because Rome allowed for relatively safe travel and safety of property within its domains. This allowed the building of wealth. Brigands and pirates were routinely hunted down and killed or enslaved.
The Classical civilization was killed off by Islam, as it was starting to rebuild
They’re secretly longing to live in a grass hut and eat animal entrails in goat stew. (A missionary friend showed us movies.) It’s a much better life than they’ve been blessed with in the USA, dontcha know?
Death, to all racist anti-American propagandists.
(Yes, that includes the KKK, BLM and Antifa for starters, then move on to the EneMedia and their paymasters...)
I want trials, convictions, hangings, firing squads, and a fire truck!
(But I don’t really need a fire truck.)
~Easy
How about Egypt?
Yes, but not because the US is non-racist.
It's because they know that they can take your stuff, and that you won't object in any serious way.
In fact, they know that your "representatives" will pass laws to make your dispossession easier.
