To be honest, it's far from being done.Racism is still an issue among at least a small group of people. Racists, I mean real ones, do exist. There may be even a few here on this forum. I think we all agree that racism should be eradicated from this country, but unfortunately, sometimes people simply go after the wrong target, or do it in a wrong way. The fact is, racism is a real problem amplified and exploited by (mostly) the left. We hate it when it's being used as a political tool; meantime, we need to admit and address the problem.It's ridiculous to make the current generation pay for the mistakes of the past, but we need to learn from those mistakes and avoid repeating them.
How would we ever go back to slavery, discrimination and oppression?
You have to understand that the race issue has to stay alive for liberals. Without a race issue, it weakens the power of the Democrat party. Much like with this video, liberals have to convince people we are still living 50 years ago from today; nothing has changed; things got worse for minorities; Democrats need to bring a solution to this problem they've been promising us for the last 50 years.
Democrats and Republicans rely on their support bases for power. The two major support bases for liberals are victims and irresponsible people. If we could eliminate victims and irresponsible people in this country, the only time you would hear about the Democrat party is in history books.
It's already been done; hundreds of laws forbidding racism at every level.
You can't "eradicate" how people feel. Regardless of your opinion of them, they are allowed free speech and the ability to elect leaders that share their point of view.
For example, there is this vicious cycle going on right now:
1. The media report a bunch police shooting incidence, emphasizing the race of the deceased and the cop when it's "white on black".
2. Nine of them are legitimate shootings and one of them a dirty cover-up.
3. The politicians and media make the black believe that nine of them are cover-ups.
4. The black feel threatened and distrust the police. Consequently, they RUN.
5. Some of them, unfortunately run in a not-so-safe manner, and got shot by the cop, creating a bunch of "police shooting incidence".
Now go to step 1, and everybody hates everybody...
Laws cannot solve this kind of problem, politics can, and it deserves to be done, quickly.
Here is the problem:
Besides the fact that most blacks are born out of wedlock in this country, young males often rely on other black young males for advice. It's the blind leading the blind.
What needs to be done with these shootings is for police officers to attend schools and hold seminars explaining to these young blacks how they are trained, what they need to do when addressed by a police officer, and the fact that 100% of these shootings have one thing in common: the subject didn't listen to the orders of police.
Racism is not responsible for most of these shootings--bad parenting is. Black kids need to be taught that if there is a discrepancy with the actions of a police officer, the time to address it is not on the street, because a cop always wins on the street. If you have a problem with an officer, that can be addressed later. It can be done by contacting the superior of that officer, it can be done by hiring a lawyer, it can be done by calling your local news station and asking if they are interested in the story, it can be done by addressing the Mayor of that city, it can be done in a number of ways.
