With risk of sounding like a libtard/commie..But just a curious question from a humble clueless European:
I don't care about people looks (women aside), i only care about peoples actions and morals. If they are a patriot who lives up to western values and culture and the love of all mighty god.
But in America it seems race has a very important role in your society.How you see each other, it seems as you guys always have a need to distant yourself from each other in that sense. (Its not about hate or so, its just that everyone seems so fixated about race its ridiculous)
Why is there a "black community"? "Asian-american community" "White community?" "Latinos"..For people in Europe we mostly would see you all as Americans. I do understand the fact that most of the immigrants to the new world was white Europeans so in that sense it is a "white nation" historically so that i respect in regards to identity and history i also think its fair to see it that way.
But today it just seems so weird to say and not sound racist no matter what race you are? And don't get me wrong, almost every American i've met in the US were LOVELY! Only great encounters, we meet a white cop in the middle of no where in Texas who stopped our car because i made a wrong turn, he was the typical "hillbilly cop "you see in movies but he was just cool against us, and he didn't give us a ticket because we where tourists and wished us a pleasant journey, best cop i ever met. And as i said, i'm black myself. So yea, it has nothing to do with that, its just how you talk about each other no matter if it is a positive sense or not.
Me and my friend from Sweden visited the US some years ago, and we did laugh about that fact that we rarely saw a black and a white walk side by side on the street. We did and people assumed we were cops (LOL) xD.
All sides are doing it. I mean, its strange to hear black people talk about racism when the majority of blacks are racist in my opinion, and i'm black myself but not American. I would dare to say that these days black people are more racist against others as towards themselves then any other group..But still everyone,no matter what "group" you think you are is always focusing on race..How will America ever be a united country if the race bating is such a normal part of your culture? I hear all sides speak like this and always has.
Your military don't seem to think like this? But the civilians this is a huge part in how you look at each other. Enforced by the democrats of course but still..
Any ideas?
I don't see anything wrong with being proud of your culture, heritage, nationality etc... I'm proud of my German and Irish ancestry (so super white). I think the problem is is that people make where they are from, and therefore sometimes the color of their skin who they are. And when you make it so important that your identity is tied to your color, and sexuality as well, it creates division and loads of other problems. There's only one race.
If people would place their identity in Christ, we wouldn't be talking about this.
Yes agree with you 100%. You should be proud of you ancestry fren :)
Jesus is the only identity worth having. The Holy Spirit gave you that one, sibling. Praise the LORD and God bless you in Jesus name. Amen.
Even Jesus Christ distinguished between Jew and Gentile.
You're right He did. However as Paul wrote in the Epistles in the Holy Spirit:
Romans 11(*v.11)
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
God bless you in Jesus name, friend. Amen
Indeed
We dont care. The media is lying to you
SOME people do care though, because they've been indoctrinated. So that's not entirely correct.
It has been a back and forth. We started with a "freed" slave class of almost entirely uncultured African people, many of whom were not ready to integrate into European society. Thus ghettos were formed, as well as racist generalizations. Many have since moved up out of this status, and integrated and accepted western values, some immediately, others after a generation or two, and they were punished for it, being the exceptions at the time, and categorized with everyone of their skin color by the ignorant for several generations. By the 1970s this kind of racism was almost non-existent, save some from older generations who were never able to overcome their bigotry, and those in isolated communities (or echo chambers) who were also unable. Meanwhile communists were working very hard since the 1930s to break down the culture and introduce Marxist class division, but found that Americans didn't buy into the traditional wealthy vs working class divide. So they used gender, race, sexual identity, any form of self-identity that already had a tinge of division in this country.
Having infiltrated the media (news, movies, etc.) and universities, they began brainwashing people into further division. Young students without enough life experience would go into a university and become mesmerized by their intellectual professors who taught them (in the beginning, secretly) that Marx was the messiah for inequality. They used the true instances of racist and sexist bigotry of the time (which was still all too prevalent in the 1950s) to prove that communism was needed as the great equalizer. These students then came out of college and became little pits of marxism wherever they ended up, many of which, ended up teaching our children in public schools.
By the 1990s, the general public was beginning to move past the racism and sexism of the past, but at the same time, all of these secret marxists were raising the next generation of students in public schools. Teaching them that "fairness" (by which they meant total equality of outcome) is the most important value. So we had participation trophies, and stopped keeping score, so on and so forth. And now enter, the Millennial generation, who I would venture to say at least HALF of which, believe that capitalism is evil and socialism is great. "FREE HEALTH CARE!"
This generation, and many of the next have been so brainwashed into thinking that the "white man" is inherently evil because of imperialism, that anyone who isn't white is inherently more moral and a better person. And is why they can get to the point of rioting with BLM or Antifa, while truly believing they are doing the morally correct thing (not that all BLM and Antifa are this ignorant).
This coupled with the decades of lies by the communist-run news media lying about racial (and other) division to further this agenda should explain WHY race has become an issue in this country.
Thank you very much for that explination. It makes much sense, i also know how the sneaky commies work to saw split and division. So you are probably 100% right in this.
We dont care what color somebody is. Our government and media does.
In group preference. Humans are tribal and instinctively segregate based on genetic proximity. It's why you value your own children more than other peoples children. Nothing right or wrong with it. Just biology.
Europe (particularly northern Europe) is much more ethnically homogeneous compared to America. Of course, this is based on groups. The generalization loses all meaning when you try to apply it to an individual.
Furthermore, universal principles, such as those seen in Christianity, allow people to see past in group preference and treat people equally. These principles are how the west built an advanced civilization and are why we are tolerant. Other religions and collectivist ideologies (e.g. Marxism) don't share these values and actively treat groups differently for personal gain. America's Christian values are being drowned out by Marxism.
‘Racial’ identity is confused with culture.
Culturism: A Word, A Value, Our Future (Press, 1991) by John Kenneth Press, a Sinophile PhD.
Look into "cultural Marxism" such as Critical Race Theory.
Most people don't care, but many have been brainwashed into caring by false narratives. They are what are referred to as "useful idiots" -- ignorantly pushing a nefarious agenda, believing it to be morally correct.
All you have to do is follow the "racism" narrative in this country to its logical conclusion to see WHY it's pushed so hard: division of people, defunding police, growth of power by federal government and globalist organizations, loss of liberties, etc.
Most Americans actually don’t care. I live in an area where everyone is different, but we all (for the most part) just want to live life.
I asked my husband why all this prejudice is so blatant, I don’t remember the 90s or early 2000s being this crazy. He told me it really wasn’t, Obama getting into office is when everything started getting bad. Makes sense since he’s in on the global cabal BS.
Race is important to RACE hustlers who use it for Power and Money.
If you cannot see that it’s a scam. I don’t know what to tell you.
It's of primary importance to the democrats, socialists and globalists who took over our government. They thrive on racial discord. They want a race war as part of their divide and conquer philosophy. Their cult members are steeped in racial politics and are easily hyped into violence on behalf of it.
In short it's all programming.
I see what you’re saying. I was raised the first years of my life in a very small, very white town. The first black person I saw actually scared me. Prior to that I had only seen blacks on tv. Then I moved to Saginaw, MI & met black friends in school. Now I have relatives of nearly every race. So I think we just don’t know what we haven’t been exposed to. Add that to the narrative that all races hate each other, and here we are.
The 2021 answer: SOROS
American people are the descendants of another country, we lack the pride of someone who has a motherland, I think some people take advantage of us lacking that sense of belonging that comes from having family generations passed that have real roots in the soil they stand on. We need to view America as out motherland, instead of saying, well I'm half Irish, and one quarter German, one sixth Native American.... Etc. We have never considered the soil we stand on our roots, and it doesn't help that we are taught from our youth that this land was stolen from native American people. From the time we are small we are trained that we did not originate here, and worse, current generations are being taught critical race theory. We are literally made to feel guilty for our heritage, so we naturally try to attach it to where our ancestors originally belonged. It's probably why we get along so well with Australia.
