I see it as an entry point to a real conversation instead of the usual hysterical accusations, finger pointing, virtue signaling, claims of victim hood status, etc.
I won’t deny for a second there is an ugly history in America and everywhere else in the world wrt racism. It happened. It’s true. The official kind is long in the past and it’s debatable how common it is today in society. The big question: what’s the best way to get past it?
Should we self segregate, claim victimhood status, claim anybody who doesn’t agree with our politics must be racist, act like government is always the only solution to our problems, have quotas, nurse historical grievances from before most Americans today were born
OR
Treat each person like an individual to be judged solely on his/her own merits?
Which approach is more fair to each person and more likely to lead to the outcome everybody claims they want?
You seem to misss the point.
The We, the black community, is a political construct to put forward the vision of homogenity that does not and never has existed. There is no existence allowed outside the homogeneous concept because if allowed, the concept would be shown to be invalid.
The whole Black Lives Matter concept is to allow black criminals to be above the criminal justice imposed by the American Society. Those insisting that Black Live Matter are in fact demanding the right to escape punishment for crimes. Similarly the black atheletes will not stand for the National Anthem
All those have ceased to be Americans
This post is not racist but rather a cultural/political analysis
