Talking about race is racist

Talking about black people as if they’re just people is racist. Treating black people as you would treat anyone else is racist. To expect black people to live and breath and act like everyone else is racist. To judge a black person by the content of their character is racist. To talk about a black person and not mention they are black is racist. To see a black person and not pity them is racist. To think of a black person as anything more than helpless is racist. To acknowledge the accomplishments of a black person is racist (unless…

Racism is so stupid

So let me get this straight, some black people shame other black people who are successful because they’re following the rules and conventions of a society designed and established by white people. They call them “house negroes,” “uncle tom’s,” or “whitewashed.” This is so short-sighted, self-defeating, and stupid, I’m not sure why more people haven’t spoken out against it. The systemic racism that people claim exists in this country is squarely the stigma leftists have created against black people being successful within the capitalist confines of the United States. What they’re not understanding is that it’s that capitalist system…

Who would even think to say that any one group’s lives matter

Where did this idea of “black lives matter” or “all lives matter” begin? Who would even think to say it. One of the foundational elements of America is that life is precious. We have an entire Constitution devoted to the idea that each individual only gets one life and they should be free to pursue their dreams with as little restriction as possible (usually defined by when one’s pursuit interferes with another). Life is taken for granted in this country. It’s one of our bedrocks. Life is important and precious, and it’s a tragedy every time a life is…

Another perspective on racism

When there are multiple people involved, the only way to have a productive conversation is for everyone to share their perspectives. It’s the only way to understand each other’s life experiences. Once you find the commonalities, then you can start finding unity. With that, here’s a perspective. Do you know anyone who hates being told something they already know… like they’ve never thought of it before? Perhaps that describes you. You know, when there’s something you know, or do, with great care, say like writing a thank you note when someone does something nice. So you go to a…

White supremacy is to climate change what racism is to global warming

When left-leaning politicians and activists saw that the phrase “global warming” was running into the wall of truth that was a 10 year cooling cycle, the vernacular was changed to “climate change.” Who can argue with “climate change?” The climate, by its very nature, is always changing. So you get to be always right. Meanwhile, after decades of calling conservatives “racist,” it has finally begun to ring hollow. The facts just don’t match the claim. So, as with “global warming,” the marketing machine spun up a new phrase for it: “white supremacy.” We can look forward to hearing this…

Racismists run rampant

We’re all racist. You’re racist. I’m racist. Everyone is racist. Liberals know they’re racists, so that puts them at least kind of on the side of the victims of racism (or at least forgiveable). Conservatives are super obvious blatant racists. Everyone knows that. But what if it’s not racism? What if it’s racism fatigue? What if the people we consider racists are really racismists? Racismists are those who reflexively are just sick of accusations of racism that have no legitimate or coherent reason or evidence. They’re sick of all bad things that happen to any black people being blamed…

Forget the excuses

Forget white privilege. Nevermind racism, sexism, and bigotry. There’s no such thing as homophobia, and I’ve never seen ageism. I’ve no interest in #metoo, and all lives matter. All of it is nonsense. It’s noise. Excuses. Life is so easy when we group people together and make up reasons why entire swaths of society just can’t seem to get ahead. Blacks can’t get a fair shake. Women don’t stand a chance. Gays are in hiding. It’s getting so even white males aren’t safe anymore. Just stop already. I reject all of it. It’s just you. And whatever it is…
