The anti-racists were winning, being successfully labeled a racist was a political and social death sentence, now race relations are getting worse and people aren't taking the charge seriously.

How has the way the conversation has been going for the last 10 years helped in any way?
Because since the 60's shit HAD been getting better.

He ignored the comment itself to make a comment about me, which is an ad hominem. And the usual fragile users all jumped on that bandwagon because they don't want to discuss my post either.

He's pointing out the incongruity between your post there and the topics you participate in. He's calling you a hypocrite, whether the charge is valid he's not using the attack to refute your original point.

Obviously you can't make something like slavery or segregation go away by ignoring it. But today, aside from people sometimes using racial slurs to push people's buttons, there's no racism left. So yes, ignoring those people will make them stop or go away.

But I didn't ignore your comment. You obsess over race just as much as anybody else and not only are you guilty of the exact action you're accusing others of doing, but also, the people you claim are obsessing over race are usually only commenting in response to one of your racially-themed posts (and posts like it).

For example, going into a topic about homicide in the U.S. vs U.K. and essentially going "Well yeah, but that US number is inflated by black people" like fucking what?

It goes both ways, if you ask me. Some black folks make a fuss over nothing. At the same time, there's legitimate problems being brought up, yet some people will take the opportunity to antagonize black people rather than listening to them.

I completely agree with you here - It's best in this day and age to simply omit those that have that line of thinking, but I fear the real reason certain people (the usual suspects) even chime in on discussions like this is because they fear exclusion.

"Your cancer will go away if you ignore it."


Hate Speech =/= Cancer

Cancer is a physical disease that will kill you. Hate Speech can only make you feel bad if you let it.

As far as Discrimination, that is illegal and punishable by law, at least in the US. The only exception being against white males, as Affirmative Action is still a thing (not to mention people being slandered as racists just for being conservative losing their jobs).

Except White women have benefited more from affirmative action than anyone else, if you're trying to insinuate that racial minorities have an advantage there.

There's also no actual discrimination against White men where it actually matters.

We're still winning. Other than being a conservative politician in a red state being a racist is a pretty good way to end up unemployed or barred from social media platforms.
