Yes. It’s human nature to think something is being taken from you rather than just given to others. That’s why this is such a hard thing to eradicate. Look at the leadership in Congress. They would rather get in bed with white supremacists and maintain their ‘power’ than stand for democracy. That’s how foul racism is.

Therein lies the opportunity to nobly do what you actually do not have to do but choose to out of you own inner greatness.

@@waynewhite2314 the nobility you speak of is the exception not the rule just like this guy. we are creatures of culture and tradition we hold on to them like addicts and their drugs. While Individuals who somehow realize the immorality of their culture or tradition is obviously a good thing ...the effort and sacrifice required for fundamental lasting positive change goes well beyond the mere self realization of a few individuals.

And, accountability feels like persecution to them.

Yep...same here. He's so right.

Thank you for your honesty

I admire your honesty but are you sure you're not mistaken your "racism" for biases?

@@eboyd2478 You are welcome. I think all solutions begin with honesty. Hate and all its forms including racism is grounded in fear, usually unfounded. Recovery is the same as recovery from any delusional mental illness.

You don't even know what "critical race theory" is. And he's explicitly stated that calling out and changing the system is NOT an attack on white people. Fixing a system so that it is equitable for all people is cultivating hate for your own race? How ridiculous can you be?!

Your experience conflicts with this man's reality. That is fine, however, it doesn't discount what's true in many parts of this country. I'm a combat veteran of 22 Years of service to this nation. A few years back, I ran for office (County Commissioner) in a rural Midwest community. I was told I wouldn't win because I was the wrong color ( I lost). You are very limited in your understanding of other communities.

First Question: What is “Critical Race Theory”

@@wilsons043 Race is the fundamental reality of human existence and people don't want to be ruled by aliens. It's not difficult to understand this, and despite what some paperwork says, 'Americans' are Whites, non-Whites are at best paper-Americans who have no business in positions of authority over Whites. It's always been true and it will always be, this strange melting pot nonsense and belief that corrupt legal systems transcend racial realities is so deeply contrary to reality that you're going to live long enough to watch it vaporize.
