It's becoming clear that perhaps the left or those who obsess on race don't want racism to be solved. In other words, I think they want to play the victim. They want to talk about race. They want to keep fighting even if the fight was over.
I have no respect for that. If they keep it up, they will end up "infantizing" the issue. If Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is racist, and Earthquake signs are racist, suddenly it becomes a joke.
It makes you wanna move to a rural cabin the middle of nowhere and cut out TV and social media. The way I see it:
- Slavery was racist (It ended after the Civil War)
- Segregation was racist (It ended 50+ years ago)
- KKK was racist (Nobody takes any "modern day" KKK crap seriously)
So in my mind, racism is over. Slavery is gone, segregation is gone. We had a two-term black President. Racism is over with. But some wanna keep the fire going. What are we gonna do? Try and alter people's thoughts and minds? Burn history books? Tear down statues?
You can't change the past. You can't hide from it.
