    There was a thread about that several months ago. I don't remember if there were other graphics that displayed "aspects and assumptions" of other races/cultures, but it would be interesting to see what those would contain. However, any person desiring to proceed with such an endeavor would need to be highly cautious, especially if said person is white. I do think that a valuable contribution could be made if a person from each race/culture would produce a graphic for their race/culture, contrasting the characteristics to "white culture."

    It’s sad that these traits and habits are branded as “white”; Every successful person I’ve met or read about has a healthy helping of them - no matter what race.
    This doesn’t advocate foregoing one’s history or ethnicity, IMHO. People SHOULD know the traditions and history of their origins and celebrate them; nothing stops them from ALSO looking to the values laid out on the graphic.

    You were showing the edited version and it reads more like the asperations of a right-wing male....

    Nonsense. Reads like a recipe for success mangled by “Whiteness” prejudices.

    It is really saddening how so many who think they are fighting against racism, have bought into the base arguments of racists, that we can and should be defined, separated, and valued by race, with sets of views, values, opinions, etc attributed to each race.

    That the quoted poster above was posted by people thinking they work against racism, instead of by white racists claiming these are their virtues alone and not those of others who aren't white, is truly shocking and distressing.

    It does not get more racist than that poster.

    Lloyds bank made profits of over £1b last year. They have admitted guilt in being investors in slave traders and could cover any reparation bill on their own.

    You are correct on every point about Racist Progressive Totalitarianism.

    STANDING UP AGAINST INSTITUTIONAL RACISM: New Hampshire state representative introduces bill to ban critical race theory trainings.

    States formed the Federal Government, not the other way around, and it's long past time for States to be much more assertive.

    It could well be cash payments. The jesuit church has offered $100m so far.
