    Race isn't a problem outside of the people who want to push your conspiracy theory.

    I'm not sure I'm on track, or familiar, with every point 1-4. On point 5, I do believe that the global families of generational wealth are playing the world and everything in it as if it were just a game of Monopoly (or perhaps 3-D chess), and they plan to own everything including all of us pawns. The more they can divide us on petty differences and get us to destroy each other, the faster they will scoop up more of the wealth and resources while we are distracted and the closer they get to check and check mate. By the time today's valuable worker bees automate everything with robotics and artificial intelligence, and possibly figure out some magic potion for the rulers to become immortal, they eventually won't need more than a few hundred thousand of us using their resources and spoiling their planet, and so billions will be easily dispensable. Is the world going to end in 12 years? Maybe for a lot of people. I think it should take more than 12 years though.

    The evidences you list do show a quickening in the necessary decay of morals and common values and the lockdowns have certainly been a display of elite power, like a test drive to determine how compliant we've become to loss of freedom and the dignity of work.

    Anyway, I'm not familiar with that entire narrative, except for the end game. I tend to think point 1-4 is on the wrong track. I don't think they want to flood the U.S. and Europe with migrants for cheap labor. If they flood the each of the U.S. and Europe with 2 billion people from 3rd world countries who are illiterate and cannot work, then they simply crush all the wealth left in the world which is held in hands of workers. We go broke. Again, they win everything and do whatever they want with us billions of useless eaters. During the Mao regime in China, people got so hungry, they killed and cannibalized each other for food.

    Robin DiAngelo is right. White fragility is real.

    Robin DiAngelo seems like a bit of a huckster and you a mark.

    Certain people like to praise MLK, while they conveniently forget that in his time he was hated and scorned. ( That's why they killed him). I guess it's easier to like a dead hero than a living one.
    Also, many of the people who praise him have no interest whatsoever in following his beliefs.
    Can we say: HYPOCRITE.

    Gotta run. Remember: Practice social distancing. Wear a mask while out in public. Wash your hands frequently.
    Thanks for the conversation. Bye.

    I was wrong to associate EST with Brown Stamps, a term coined in "I'm OK, You're OK," an early pile of steaming feel-good nonsense. I was attempting however obscurely to support your statement about faux intellectuals. Brown Stamps are collected by today's injustice warriors. I believe I am safe to assert here you would agree liberals have only negativity driving their worldview, a perpetually dissatisfied bunch of cranks.

    I'm sorry I didn't pick up on your subtlety.

    Indeed.

    "Defensive comments"? No, not defensive at all. Merely a fact. We're at least 70 years beyond Jim Crow, more than 130 years past slavery. The reason we have these problems, is that for some they refused to integrate with our American Society that their ancestors fought to integrate them into.

    That is, America must forsake "race" in its entirety, and become one with the National State. Either one's an American, or they're not. That has to be the line drawn in the sand, either they're an American for America or they're a part of the issues dividing America.

    It's not self loathing, it's performative. It's done so that a person can get approving nods from the woke cult. It's done believe it or not for self aggrandizement. If a person bows and pretends to agree with this crap they are viewed as enlightened.
    Generational poverty is one of those things like school to prison pipeline. It removes agency from people. They can't get out of the situation they are in. It's really far more sinister than it appears on the surface because it is saying the world expects this of you and you can't do any better.

    Those ideas are not just wrong they are misanthropic. Or evil if you go for that terminology.

    Oh God, there somebody goes again accusing me of subtlety! (*wink*)

    I'm more of a radio commercial kind of guy, saying the phone number three times VERY CLEARLY and the rest a slam upside the whatever. With liberals three is usually insufficient. I keep words simple so they can catch my...what'd you call it again?

    The take-away. I presumed correctly. I've only been watching politics since high school in the mid-60s. Each new Congress brings at least one more such crank into their fold. (No offense to poster "crank" here.) The sanity of the Bartender from Outer Nonsense is a prime example.

    Just read their stuff for what it is, nonstop negativity served up by people unable to say what they LIKE about America. (Weather is a different topic to a Michiganian since if we don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes.)

    I think there is more to it. The connection to slavery is a red herring. It's mostly built on Democrat white guilt coupled with arrogance.

    I know that's odd but if you don't want to read my explanation I understand.

    First and foremost the problems start at home within the family. Some 72% of black children are born out of wedlock and grow up in broken homes often with no or very poor make role models.

    You may ask yourself why does this effect black people there most?

    Because they suffered more poverty in the 50s and 60s. And Democrats social policies created financial incentives for devoice. Basically put if parents were married they lost out on money.

    This encouraged broken homes more so in the black communities than anywhere else for to the history leading up to it.

    Boys and young men that grow up without a father are more likely to drop out of school, and turn to criminal Behavior.

    There is a systemic issue, it isn't based on race, it's based on inept attempts to fix social problems.

    The desire not to fix social problems because it means taking responsibility for them leads to the most dispicable creature, the con artist that fancies himself a civil rights activist. They could people into thinking they need these creations speaking for them and they do it to get rich.

    So these two things coupled together create the modern class issue that hucksters and scum want to call racism. Eventually it will morph into racism but it isn't deeply connected to segregation and it isn't tired at all to slavery. That's just a red herring.

    I can't make heads or tails of what you are saying. It may be because of you're references. I don't know. I read this post three times trying to get it, I'm sorry I don't.

    Yeah it seems like they thrive on unrest and negativity. Maybe that's why they pine for the early 60s or the Antebellum period.

    I'm by no means "fragile" I'm not guilty or ashamed because of the color of my skin (only a racist would insist I should feel "guilty" or atone for sins I never committed)
