    No one ignores race. Not even the people who lie about being "colorblind." Noticing race isn't the problem. What people do about noticing race can be a problem. It isn't immoral to simply notice the fact that someone is black. Yes, what matters is how we treat each other. History can influence that. Playing make-believe that one "doesn't even see race" isn't a solution. Nor is it honest.

    Tell that to the guy you support for pres.

    He had a very long speech a couple days ago and much of it was race based. Wanting to idolize the traitors to the USA. Why do you support idolizing the traitors to the USA for the right to own black people.
    The supporters of tRUMP are using race. Not the other way around. If you want to end this race talk, let your pres you support know this.

    It’s the only solution. Until we stop acknowledging that skin is nothing but a cosmetic detail, the divide will remain. The fact that no one ignores race is exactly why racism will not leave. So start ignoring it. The old wounds will never go away u til everyone just lets it all go.

    There idolized to this very day. Don't feed us that BS.

    Why do you think spent a great deal of a speech on the very subject just a couple days ago? Because it's very relative. And he wants to make it a campaign issue.

    You supporters of tRUMP aren't fooling anyone.

    Pretending not to even notice those cosmetic details is not a solution. It is deception. Racism doesn't exist because people are AWARE of cosmetic differences. It exists because of how PEOPLE REACT, whether wittingly or unwittingly, to noticing those cosmetic differences.

    And, despite your insistence to the contrary, ignoring history won't make it go away.

    Bless your heart. But no one here is trying to "justify current bad behavior" by simply exhibiting an awareness of history that you apparently find offensive. Please read the context of the discussion you responded to. You have yet to address the actual content.

    Tell that to your pres you support.
    He keeps talking about it. He is all about dividing the nation based on skin color.

    Being for affirmative action does not square up with treating all people equally. Being for affirmative action is being divisive.

    Haven't been paying attention to the flag wavers and Confederate monument defenders, have you? That's a rhetorical question. You objectively haven't been paying attention to the facts when it comes to this.

    I'd ask you what you think I've justified, but I don't really expect a response. Just make up whatever you want.

    I don’t idolize anybody. I do recognize that all people are imperfect. The slave owners, the politicians, the slaves, people today, and people back then. Everyone is filled with evil and good, the slaves no better or worse than the slave owners. Every soul will have its turn in both roles. We are all one and the same.

    My best guess is that these black nationalists are just your average street thugs out for a night on the town while it lasts. Nothing more than that.

    So is just about every politician. Both sides are dancing to the tunes of the puppet masters in Washington. Until the masses stop playing their stupid little games, the division will continue.

    There's an all-black, pro-black, pro-life armed militia setting up in Georgia right now. They plan to fight the white LGBT and feminists and Marxists behind Black Lives Matter.

    Tribalism never ends well. Never has. Never will.

    This should scare the heck out of any white liberals who think that all blacks "like you" if you support BLM and other "intersectional" political propaganda. Time to start treating people like individuals rather than as "collectives".

    People of every color and sexual preference are not "identity clumps" who all think alike. There are good people and bad people in the world.

    There could be a war between "tribes" soon.

    I didn't say you idolize anyone.
    I said you support the pres that wants to keep statues of traitors to be idolized.

    If you're tired of race being talked about, let the guy you support for pres know and tell him to stop.

    I didn't want to bring up your logic. It seems illogical though, now that you brought it up.
