I thought the standard was to take the best qualified person REGARDLESS of race. Affirmative action makes it much harder for non minority people to get the same job because theyre not minorities. Is this not racism? Why did the current administration in the US give business loans to minority applicants whereas white applicants were not even allowed to apply for these loans for 90 days(after the money ran out). Is this not racism? I can go on and on. Defund the police is racism against police officers. After all they are painting ALL the police with a broad brush. I have never discriminated against someone. But yet if im not on the street with a torch in my hand I am racist. Silence is racism they say. So they can call me what they wish. Diversity is good they say. But it wasnt good in South Africa. I can go on and on. There is a lot of validity to these issues. But trying to take it out on non minorities is hypocrisy. Lets look at some of these so called civil rights leaders. One of them has called judaism a gutter religion. Is that not racism? Others have called NY hymietown. Is this not racist? There are plenty of crimes committed by minorities against non minorities. But somehow these never make the headlines. We can on and on. It isnt a sin to be a white european christian. And i refuse to accept that nonsense. Regardless of what my ancestors did or didnt do. My family arrived here first in 1894. So none of us is remotely responsible to the native american issues. Or slavery. Society as a whole has improved. Things are much better. Maybe the media should present the facts and statistics. They do not because it doesnt match the narrative. Heres a recipe for povery.... get pregnant at 14. You are extremely likely at his point to be poor. DOesnt matter what race or what color your skin is. Whose fault is it that this happens? Not mine. I could have done the same. So the flood of unwed mothers who are in 9th grade is the result of what? Slavery, discrimination? Its a lame excuse. But much of these problems are self inflicted.
