First real conversation I have seen about race in a long time other than just calling it divisive.

Please watch both 1/2s



Free to comment as for me the real conversations usually take place there (and alot of bs as well of course)

#maga #trumpTrain

(1) This is the closest thing I have heard to a real conversation on Racism in Years.
In order to heal a divide, you must first find out what the issues and only a real conversation will accomplish that.

(2) That conversation needs to be honest, it needs to be open, and it cannot be politically correct.

(3) In this conversation despite what they are trying to indoctrinate, you are allowed to be angry about things in a conversation, after all it is a human emotion, and should not be subject to suppression, however you cannot be violent for it to move forward

(4) In the last decade, I have not heard many real conversations on the issues of race, although have seen a tremendous amount of staged assembly

(5) What I have noticed is that most of the people deeming themselves as the authority on the topic are the most racist people

(6) Everything is race 2 them,
they cant give news report w/out identifying race,
they cant make an advertisement without carefully constructing their racial representation,
They cant cast a show w/out deciding on race first, not the best talent,
everything is driven by race

(7) And they want you to keep race at the forefront of thought no matter how far someone may have lived it as an after thought.

(8) How do I know this conversation isn’t happening in a real way? Well by the time I get to the 10th comment on anything racially sensitive, I can see what the real thoughts and beliefs are!

(9) I want it to be known that I am young enough to have grown up in an America that really did do a fairly decent job of teaching that you should judge people based on their actions and character but I am not old enough to remember a time of MASS overt racial discrimination.

(10) As a white person , I am struggling to understand the desires of black Americans as it relates to being given the same chances as everyone else in this country, what exactly are they being prevented from doing on the basis of their race?

(11) I am equally I am struggling to understand how I am responsible for the past history of this country?

(12) There are very few people alive today who directly benefit from slavery, and likewise, there are zero people who were formerly slaves. Most of this country’s population is derived from families who immigrated well after the abolishment of slavery.

(13) Many young Americans try to accept all people from all walks of life, but I see those same people, as am I, becoming highly resentful of the amount of blame being pushed In their direction

(14) In asking what solves this problem, I can't see any better answer than giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but then it is up to the individuals to PROVE their worth.

(15) I am not even sure how color of one's skin effects the opportunities afforded to them, and think it is everyone's responsibility to make the most of each opportunity.

(16) also part of this conversation is making it clear to the other exactly what is the desired outcome, and what is desired specifically because generalization will not work.

(16) I want the demands to be clear, because seemingly there is a constant reminder of the past injustices without stating what is felt to be owed.

(19) If you are going to make the whole premise that the injustices of black americans was great, you will get no argument from most.

(20)( sorry I cant count this is suppose to be (19) and yes (17) comes after (16) )

The ones who will give you that argument are mostly idiots! And they are getting fewer and fewer with each passing year

(21) What i know for sure you cannot have a logical argument about ending racism, with even suggesting that on race should get special privileges based a race, any practice that does that would be quite counter-intuitive.

(22) I want to know what the people think on the matter But most importanlt allow for real conversation in open forum, because I know that will be the only way to even move the needle on the discussion of racism.

(23) However part of the conversation must also include the ways of what has pushed that needle over the last several decades, and accept that it is better than it has been before, otherwise we can only revert.

(21) redo 21) What i know for sure you cannot have a logical argument about ending racism, w/ even suggesting that one race should get special privileges based on being a specific race, any practice that does that would be quite counter-intuitive.
