Plenty of people on both the left and right need to hear this:



Oh, and in keeping with an HROT tradition:

Careful. I’ve been saying this same thing for over a year now and I’m called a racist.
I’ve posted the Chris rock video several of times that basically says the same thing.
you are offending the white people that want to make sure race continues to be an issue.

I'll ask you the same question... Did or did not the United States Supreme Court give ICE permission to legally detain people for being brown or speaking Spanish in public?

No, I honestly believe it's a dismissal of the fact - as demonstrated - that racism is built into the system in this country. And it's really easy for a blonde-haired white girl to claim it's all about character.
She was addressing people in general in terms of how we interact with one another and view each other.

Amazing anyone can take a positive unifying message and use it to air out political grievances. Pedantic and silly.

If anyone wonders why liberals are disliked so much, this thread should be remembered.

Jesus Christ.

This gets lost in the sauce, because of just how awful Orange Hitler is, and has been. For now, all normal people ... and left-wing extremists ... are mostly unified in their opposition to The Second Reich. But, what happens if/when MAGA loses influence? There's another slice of bread in this extremist sandwich. If the left-wing sees an opening, they'll take it ... and they'll pressure society with their extremist views, and try to shut down opposition via various manipulative/forceful/implied-force methods.

Then it isn’t a “character issue”, it’s a skin color issue.

It’s not a character issue when a black man is stopped for driving in his own upper-class neighborhood. It’s not a character issue when a Hispanic drug offender gets a harsher sentence than a white person committing the same crime.

The facile, simplistic "both sides" bullsh.it surely allows us to gloss over the systemic issues in this country where SCOTUS says racial profiling is a-ok and pretend that all of this is due to the "character" of minorities, but I find that kind of thinking stupid and monstrously self-serving. Feel free to disagree.

I don’t disagree with you in principle.

I just don’t believe it’s relevant to what she’s saying about culture and how everyday people interact and view each other. The black woman who posted the video seems to believe the same thing.

Do you feel she needed to include systemic racism in her rant to validate her point about individual stupidity when it comes to racism?

Not sure what you are looking for in a response. I have no idea if they did or did not. If they didn’t, I sounds like you are crying about it and want to make sure racism still happens. If they did this, it again shows that some white folks want to make sure racism still happens.
I’m simply stating that calling someone a cracker pos isn’t racism it that person is a cracker pos. Same as if someone is called a n-word pos like Chris rock explained in the video I posted. Where it gets really stupid is that a white person can’t call a pos black person the n-word like a black person can. Even if they are behaving like a n-word. The term is simply another name for a pos black person. Not every black person is the term.

You couldn’t be more wrong. It is 100% a character issue.
Someone with bad character is making terrible judgement on someone solely because of their skin color.
Someone with good character is able to make judgement on a person of other color based on their character not the color of their skin. Again as I pointed out in the Chris rock video. Black people exist and n-words exist. Same goes for every race. I think we all realize by now that Trump and some extreme righties have terrible character. Same goes for the extreme libs. Look how many of the. Started threads crying about the UFC fight, that was all bad character on their parts.

Her point was that there are good people and bad people of every race, gender, nationality, religion, ad infinitum. In her next video she’ll tell us that water is wet. It was that profound.

Screaming what is obvious while ignoring the real issues is nothing more than a feel-good diversion. You’ll listen to that, nod along, and count yourself among those with “good character”. News flash - the good character people are fully aware, and the bad character people either don’t GAF or they count themselves among those on the good side.

A racist is going to listen to that and think just like my grandfather did when maintaining he wasn’t a racist. He told me - and 56 years later this is still seared into my brain - “There are some blacks as good as whites and some whites as bad as blacks.” HE would be nodding right along with her rant and thinking she was spot-on. Then he’d go out thinking all black people were ni@@ers and so were some white folks... especially those who interacted with black people like color didn't matter.

So what did she accomplish?
