What the msm and blm losers are calling "systemic racism" is, in fact, simple pushback on the poverty, chaos, attention-seeking, and free-for-all behavior that accurately describes most 'African-American' communities. Just not enough care being shown to what life IS in those communities. These descriptors, interestingly, do not seem to apply to those of Caribbean descent (who also have dark skin), any other heritage group presently in America, or to blacks that live in other countries, such as the UK. Curious, that...
The American 'system', if that word can be used correctly here, is traditionally one of individualism, merit, and belief in the existence and accessibility of opportunity that allows the lowest of the low to create and build amazing stories of success. While many Americans still believe this, and orient their daily lives around these principles, many blacks reject these ideas as "too white". Very curious set of circumstances.
Our society rewards pursuits of happiness that also serve a larger good, and most of them do in the form of inventions and ideas that make everyone's lives better. Example: the light bulb. This kind of opportunity is virtually absent in the rest of the world to the extent that it is deeply ingrained in our national thinking as Americans. What do we hear from blacks and lefties on this? "America has always been racist, and should be torn down as punishment". Blacks have every opportunity that anyone else does, they simply will not take the steps. Any black person that does, is vilified mercilessly as an "uncle Tom", a "coon", or other derogatory and demeaning epithet designed to get them back in line.
I propose that Americans who still live with a rugged, self-reliant mentality cannot and will not simply accept the kind of chaos and drama that so often attaches itself to the black culture. We all see what their cities look like, for God's sake. The thing we reject is not race, but the inexplicable magnetism of bad behavior and bad decisions to misfortune. We reject being forced to carry the weight of someone else who is otherwise capable of carrying their own, but won't. This is perceived by blacks as racism, as a rejection of them BECAUSE they are black, but it's not that at all. It's a rejection of being taken advantage of, of being blamed for something that is not our fault. Besides the patent silliness and narcissism of claiming your skin color is the reason why you can't get ahead, the truth is that we are seeing the Marketplace of Ideas simply doing what it does: it rewards good behavior and good ideas, and rejects bad behavior and bad ideas. BECAUSE bad behavior and bad ideas are destructive to the American habit of looking for ways to improve, invent, create, and move forward.
People of all races intuitively understand that chaos is not attractive. To accept and allow chaos to exist in one's life is to PERMIT the infection of every area of life by it. Most people, when presented with the choice, will not choose that. We do this with people we LOVE as well. We all have had to eventually distance ourselves from people close to us who show these characteristics, regardless of their race, because we are at risk of being dragged under as well.
To further make this point, all the browbeating, 'canceling', and labeling as "racist" of anyone that doesn't get onboard by accepting this chaos (or other variants of it, i.e. Covid, lockdowns, etc) simply proves that these are mental and emotional children we're dealing with, throwing a big temper tantrum on FB and Tw.
This kind behavior will always be rejected by society at large. It will never gain large-scale buy-in from the citizenry, and will never have any more credibility than your standard toddler throwing themselves on the floor screaming. This is especially true when the black culture has demonstrated a zeal and willingness for killing itself off at such prodigious rates every year.
Thoughts frens? Tired of the left dominating this space.
