The Generalization of Racism

This race-baiting drives me crazy. Apparently, what racism means to too many Americans is White people subjugating people of color, explicitly subjugating Black people, and supposedly believing the practice is peculiar to the United States. I wish those of that mind would research the history of slavery, its subsequent abolition, and the demographics and status of people of color other than in the United States. No question, biases, and prejudices are a human condition and can be harsh and demeaning, but to be thought disproportionately and specifically to black people because of their color in today's society is absurd. Statistics say otherwise. To dislike a person, a group, or an organization, for we rational folks, has to do with character and agenda, not color. No question, contrived disparaging stereotyping of one’s ethnic origin or race can be cruel and offensive. They should be destained, but when those biases and prejudices are broadly interpreted as proof of systemic racism play into the liberal white-supremacist narrative intentionally intended to be divisive and destructive. I’ve known white, black, yellow, and beige folks that I disliked, but it wasn’t because of their color, and I'm sure that's the vast disposition of most true Americans. Don't let them mask their true intentions in their endless efforts to divide us for their nefarious purposes.
