Racism against people of color in America is not rare. Jews were not slaves here in America. People of color were. I want to listen to the victims of racism here in America. Not try to sweep their victimization under the rug.

Congrats on not carrying angst towards Germans. But your feelings are not the same as those here in America that continue to suffer at the hands of racist cops, employers, landlords and so on.

You should stand soundly sensitive to any appearance of, let alone overt, racism. You should stand shoulder to shoulder with those who strive to end it. You should not understate, nor underestimate the seriousness and the commitment it takes to stamp it out.

My point was, and is, that we need to focus on one thing. Calling out racists. Not staying quiet, not going along, not making excuses. Calling it out and taking a firm stand.
As a person of whiteness, it would seem that you struggle to understand bell curves and hbd

Bell curves? Struggle to understand? Whiteness?

I don't struggle to understand anything. I understand clearly that the only way to end stupid racism is to call it out. You understand what that means? It means, no middle ground. It means, you're on the side of racists or you are on the side of equality. Staying quiet doesn't do it. F*ck a bell curve. Lives have been lost and there is still a problem. Don't think so, go read Gab.

I just hear an angry human. I'm sorry the world is so hard to observe and understand.

Anger? No anger here. Just clarity.

But.....anger would be justified. Anger is fine. Racism, unjustified violence...not okay.

Is equality, equality of representation? If so where does that begin and end?

Is equality about equality of opportunity?

Is equality about blank Slatism notions?

Not really sure. Seems to depend on which idealogue you speak to.

I like clarity. But words encourage Plebeians to emote and become biologically activated, as they deviate from clarity, logic and reason.

Look, racism is racism. Period. It's funny how some people think history is important and some think history doesn't exist.

Racism is devoid of logic.

History is most certainly a thing. But your history is likely a doctrine based on very limited understandings.

My point was and still is that true "racism" in America is rare. I'm 25% Jewish and proud of it. Should I be compensated a dime for what Hitler did to the Jews despite the fact I'd have been put to death if it were determined that my grandfather was Benjamin Goldstein? Just like we're all bias and prejudice, we're all victims of something.

I was born and raised in Washington DC in 1947, went to college in North Carolina and have lived in Virginia Beach, Va for the last 50 years. I've also employed hundreds of people in my lifetime, and I can honestly say I've never known an avowed racist, a White Nationalist, or an anarchist, and I probably know by name well over 2,000 people. I'm neither a Democrat or a Republican, but it was because a Democrat insinuated I must be racist because I didn't think like him that I decided I'd never vote for a Democrat again as long as I live. Everyone has an agenda, and this has become my agenda.

Finally, Hitler and his followers killed 1.32M Jews over a three month period during and before WWII. Slavery and the racism that insued can't compare to genocide.....not even close. The closest thing that came to it was the KKK and I dare ask...do you know anyone in the KKK? I don't and I'm pretty sure I never will. Thus, like Will Smith said, "Racism is Actually Rare"
I will leave it to you to tell the victims of the Holocaust that it was no big thing and to forget about it.

What does Trump mean so far: no new wars, no new terror. So why complain about him. People say, black lives matter, I can't breathe; ok I agree. What does this have anything to do with Trump. Whoever tries to benefit from death of black, did it. Enemies of Trump killed him. This is obvious. Let's not be stupid. US has seen so many black swan events. Time to wake up.

The slogan "Black Lives Matter" will never replace "God Bless America" on my watch. And that's a promise you can take to the bank:xf.wink:

I will pray that your higher power enlightens you.

I don't want to debate about Trump. That scumbag deserves his own thread. :)

Trump can't say "I love black people" publicly, because there are so many racist americans who will vote him just because they think he is racist just like themselves. And probably there are more racist people among republican voters than democrat voters.... I have seen this game so many times . People with evil intentions try to make good-smart guys make mistakes before elections, by forcing them to choose one side or the opposite side. For example choose pro-black, or pro-white. He is not fooled by such things. He is sending corona checks to people, if he sends checks to white people and doesn't send checks to black people, you can say he is racist. But you can't call him racist, because a black is killed when he is the president, and this thing is protested, because he didn't kill that person. He said it was a tragedy. What do you expect him to say: I love black people more than white people, .. just to prove he is not racist?
Bush killed millions of people, and his father killed Kennedy (people say so, I can't prove) , and his grandfather supported Hitler (well known), and now complaining about racism in US. Noone called Bush racist. During Obama's presidency US forces made wars in 4 countries, Obama said we will support ISIL forces (means ISIS, find this video on youtube if not censored), but he is immune from being blamed racist, just because he is black?

I call him a racist because of his actions.

"What many will not know, is the depth and degree of active engagement and activities that Epik undertakes to combat racism and reduce the promotion of violence behind the scenes."

This desperately needs elaboration.

I have a few theories on this.

One of them, I'm not sure if they can speak to, as it may be a matter of national security.

Though unlikely, that theory sure would be a breath of fresh air to learn.

I fear those who are able to conceal their racial beliefs or personal greed under bounds of secrecy, or under the guise of classified coverups.
