Kobe, Impeachment and the Coronavirus: A Study on the Dangers of White Liberal Fragility
White liberalism is not a kinder, gentler form of white supremacy, or a lesser evil to the more explicit racism of Trump and his base.

Let's just take the issue of whites not wanting blacks (or any non-whites) to live close to them or next door to them. The motivation here is political and used for gain by making the whites believe that someone is going to take something away from them. It's garbage and bullshit. This same thing is going on at our border with Mexico right now today.

I hope for I am prejudice but not racist. Very few of us are without prejudice.

I agree totally Lorajay. I seldom get anyone who agrees with me. I think we all have a degree of racism in us. I relate it to our nature instincts of tribalism that can be found in many aspects of our lives. Politics, the work force, the way we drive, etc. It's the ability in us as individuals to recognize when these instincts are attempting to play a part in our actions and thoughts.
Racism as been used against us in a propagandized agenda to view it as the ruling class wants us to react by the media they own. As long as it's used as a tool against us we will struggle with it.
Teodrose Fikremariam wrote an article much like the one above a year ago. His target however was geared more towards black politicians and also both parties. [ghionjournal.com]
Sadly the white Christian church has played a huge role in keeping blacks in America chained. Good article and accurate.

Racism is not a political opinion but it is an opinion expressing ignorance and in-built bias.

It becomes a political opinion when it is used as a tool against society towards an agenda? Racism has been effectively structured by the ruling class to be viewed by society via the media to construct a never ending war like scenario to keep the ugliness of it alive. I give you the border issue as an example. It was being widely used as Trump was coming into power, yet today we hear very little about it. I guarantee you the same ugly conditions and issues are still there today! They wait in the wings of hell to be used again when they find it of use.
@William_Mary So you are saying that Racism is used as a tool to create fear in the people in order to control the people.
Just another version of "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."?
@rogerbenham yes, that's one aspect. As I posted to Lorajay above I'll share with you. Teodrose Fikremariam wrote an article much like the one above a year ago. His target however was geared more towards black politicians and also both parties. A version of racism against their own. But Teodrose Fikremariam also wrote a better article that really delved into what I'm attempting to explain as far as how racism being propagandized against us. But with 135 pages of his work I could spend all day looking for it.
Mind you, Teodrose Fikremariam wrote part of Obama's victory speech of his 2008 presidential win to later feel the betrayal much as I see in Sanders. He later came to referring to Obama as the first bank president in denouncing his presidency after spending his time working on and in Obama's campaign. Needless to say he found himself quite dissatisfied with Obama's continence of establishment policies over the change he falsely spoke of. You can find a link to all his post in the upper left corner near his picture. It's a golden wealth of great writing in my opinion. He has stepped back from political writing after taking a position of the chair of Ethiopians for Constitutional Monarchy. You can find a great story in Teodrose from a heritage of Ethiopian ruling descent to homelessness and back to where he is today. I know you often question my denouncing of the squad of 4 here, within his articles you'll find much of my reasoning that have helped me develop those opinions.
