Let's stop the RACIALIZATION of everyone and everything, says Tulsi
Gabbard, a well-spoken, intelligent person who would have made a great Presidential nominee or Vice President.

Meanwhile, Tyler Perry says, "...and in this time, and with all of the
Internet and social media and algorithms and everything that wants us to
think a certain way, the 24-hour news cycle, it is my hope that all of us,
we teach our kids and I want to remember, just refuse hate."

I know, "but if we on the left give up all the -isms, and all the hate, then the press and the Democrats can't do.... er, um, you know, the 'Thing' that keeps the money coming in and keeps them in power."

Her intelligence and eloquence is what made her fail. Democrat voters like someone who will stutter while making racial comments and someone who will encourage division under the guise of "unity."

Look at what Democrats have been doing to encourage "unity:"

Telling blacks that if they don't vote Biden "then they ain't black"
Telling blacks they're more likely to die of covid than whites
Telling asians that blacks are attacking them because of covid
Telling whites to feel guilty for not being scared of the cops
Telling latinos that they are safer around cops than blacks are
Telling cops that they are white supremacists
Telling Trump supporters/Republicans that they are white supremacists

We're "unified" like it's 1967.

Not sure about the middle bit but agree on intelligence and eloquence being
a reason she would fail with Democrats, and about the division under
"unity" bit.

All this crap in the press and from Democratic politicians about "systemic racism," but have ANY of the cops in ANY of the recent high-profile cases
been charged with a hate crime? Even Chauvin wasn't charged with that. I don't think there has been any real evidence that the perps/victims were targeted for being of color. As someone not of color, I would not have
liked my own chances in any of those situations.

So far I have not seen any evidence that the color of the victim's skin
played any role in these cases of outright or potential abuse of power.
All the extra conflict keeps people upset and clicking on newstories and
voting for numbskulls and that is it.

Telling asians that blacks are attacking them because of covid

Do you remember the Rodney King riots in LA 30 or so years ago? Asian businesses, and Asians, were targets of a lot of violence then, too, which didn't make any sense then, either.

Telling whites to feel guilty for not being scared of the cops

I don't think anyone needs to be scared of the cops, unless they are
committing crimes, but we had all better respect them. If I was up to no
good, I am white but I would be afraid of them then, too.

We're "unified" like it's 1967.

More like 1957... or 1857.

Their claim, of course, will be that we are not unified because there are people who refuse to comply with whatever demands are made of them,
outrageous or not.

That depends on what lens you are looking through.

If you look through the Leftie Elitist lens, the asians were successful.
They came to the U.S. with nothing, worked hard, and succeeded (mainly by not making the same stupid mistakes that Lefties always make).

So that's why they were targeted by the riots. Remember, the root of
socialism is envy. The Elitists are envious because they can never be successful without cheating. The ignorant are envious because they are told
by the elitists that the people who are successful are "keeping them down".

All through that is a fear of accepting responsibility for ones own actions
and mistakes.

I don't think so! But the media is charging them with being white while
killing black suspects. Same with that white "drill sargent" who shoved a
black guy. I didn't hear him saying "Hail Hitler."

I remember hearing about that stuff. It's very suspicious how asians get dragged into what's supposed to be just a black & white conflict. I guess
black & white tension isn't enough for a Democrat win; they need 3rd party colors to feel victimized too.

I seem to remember that the "Asians being successful make the targets" was brought up back then also. Seeing as how these days they don't confirm
that a business is not black-owned before burning it down would seem to fit
in this category also.

Remember, the root of
socialism is envy. The Elitists are envious because they can never be successful without cheating. The ignorant are envious because they are told by the elitists that the people who are successful are "keeping them down".

Especially that last sentence. A lot of people are "kept down" because
someone is telling them that they are, or they are telling themselves that.
If they quit listening their problems often get better.

All through that is a fear of accepting responsibility for ones own actions and mistakes.

Yes, with freedom come responsibility... I guess that is what makes freedom scary! :O

They want an easy answer and one that isn't painful.

If they aren't kept down, that means that their situation is of their own making. That leads to the fact that their own mistakes have placed them
in their situation - which is painful for them. They've been brainwashed
from an early age that they are "special" and "their opinions matter"
and that they are "smart". It's hard for them to accept a reality where
that is not true.

So it's easier to feel "kept down" because they have an easier time living
in their delusion.

And, as you point out, is what keeps them down and if they stop believing
that and leave their delusion, things will get better.

One of the things that I've remarked is that more and more people seem to
be adults, but still mentally be a child. Children don't have to take responsibility for their actions until they grow up and it's scary for them
to grow up. Parents usually ease them into it. But mis-educated parents
don't and we end up with a adult/child.
