Georgetown University's Dr. Michael Dyson presented a brief video essay that's worth listening to. His thesis is that to deal with the race problem we must dispense with cultural amnesia.

There is only one relevant question for African Americans to assess: Is my race holding me back?
Who gives a shit if some white cracker "hates" me? (To be honest, hate takes some emotional energy, and even "racists" don't hate black people, they just consider them inferior).
The fact is that black skin is holding almost no one back in this country, and in fact for the Black people who have their eyes open, that same skin color can be a significant advantage.
But a significant part of American "Black Leadership" is convincing people that they are victims and can't help themselves. It is sad, really.

It is sad. Black and white political leaders, like Hillary, promote black grievance merely to enrich and empower themselves. This is clear to some of us, but apparently is missed by many.There is only one relevant question for African Americans to assess: Is my race holding me back?

There's no blame present. That's your guilty conscience making you think there is.Blame whitey again.Georgetown University's Dr. Michael Dyson presented a brief video essay that's worth listening to. His thesis is that to deal with the race problem we must dispense with cultural amnesia.![]()

I can tell you didn't watch the video. It isn't about the question(s) black folks need to answer. Hell, the thread topic isn't even about black folks.
Nor do I.I don't define myself by my race.

Do you have a link to the printed version instead ??
Racism is an issue only if you allow it to be. The truth is, there are a lot of people in this world who will use any excuse to step on you and the reason doesn't really matter. Nothing wrong with trying to address the misbehavior of others done to you or another person, within legal means. But don't be looking for trouble or misbehavior that has not occurred yet. Not every person who is different from you hates you or will step on you, and not every person who does look like you is your friend either. These days I think most people have enough trouble without looking for it.

Well.....the Democrats/Liberals/Left certainly does want it to always be an issue....even though Republicans ended slavery seven generations ago.
"Tribalism [identity politics]...is the most divisive way to run a country.
....Tribalism is not about ideas, it is based instead, on immutable characteristics, it is inherently unreasonable.
There is no winning arguments, or even having arguments....there is only victory or defeat for the group you belong to.
Every group finds itself at war with every other group.
It is the perfect perversion of the American ideal."
Tucker Carlson
Not “E Pluribus Unum.”....out of many, one....but the very opposite: out of one, many.
It is the splintering of our nation, the balkanization known as multiculturalism, and the end of America....non-existent 'racism' is their tool.
No iteration of the Left,....Liberals, Socialists, Progressives, Democrats, whatever....can be considered truly American.
To them, their power is far more important than the survival of this noble experiment, America.
