In my little neighbor circle, I’m the only Black dude. When their daughters are having my daughter over for a play date, they don’t see color. When we’re BBQing in the summer, we don’t see color. When our wives are all having brunch, they don’t see color. When the dads are all gathered around outside the dance studio for our daughters (because we all refuse to go in), we don’t see color. When we’re going to the range, we don’t see color. If left alone, most people simply see you as a friend and neighbor. They’re not thinking about your color unless it’s pertinent to the conversation. Don’t let the race baiters keep racism alive. Let’s end it.
@ZeekArkham You are either a decent person or you are a jerk. Your skin color is irrelevant. Be a decent person no matter what you look like, what you sound like, how much resources you have, your job title, your family size, where you live or how you dress. And get over yourself.
@ZeekArkham When Americans came together to support Trump, they didn't see identity. They saw patriotism that they shared.
Race is only ever brought up in discussions of politics in my circles. I get asked questions and answer along these lines. This is how Americans discuss race: There's nothing wrong with seeing color. I just don't use it as a factor in judging someone's intelligence, value as a person, character, abilities, drive, or whether I should hire them. I really wish sports were about sports again. I see that we're different, and we likely have different views and experiences, but beyond that, it doesn't really matter. White men, your ally in the current culture war in America, are black men. Because the war is on traditional masculinity as a whole. The illegal immigration isn't about race. It's about replacing anybody with an attachment to the principles this country was built on. It's about bringing on a new voter class that has no problem with socialism. It's the same reason why they're coming after our children. They portray you as violent despite about 1% of you being so. They did the same to us. They portray you as dumb and incompetent in media and movies. They did the same to us. They tried to destroy your families and your communities. They did the same to us. They are indoctrinating your children. They did the same to ours. They push decadence and drug use on our kids. They did the same to us. They filter everything of value out of your culture. They did the same to us. They sent your jobs overseas. They did the same to us. They called you sexist and misogynistic. They did the same to us. They criminalized your self-defense and self-sufficiency. They did the same to us. They devalued your existence as a father and head of household. They did the same to us. They perfected their system of death, poverty, and destruction on us, and now they're coming for the rest of you. Ally to save the nation for our children because the division is being pushed from the top down. All industries require marketing and sales. Politics is an industry. A "serve us" industry. No product or service is sold by being blatantly dismissive towards potential customers nor by overtly insulting those customers. The GOP nor the punditry takes this approach towards any other demographic until they start attacking MAGA. It's not that hard to understand. Black people deserve the exact same effort and respect as every other demographic. We do not chastise any other demo. It's a completely ineffective and I'd argue, counterproductive strategy. We also need to activate new voters, and we will get those out of the black depressed voter class. Trump needs to do rallies in every minority area of the country to capitalize on this, and at the end of the rally, tell everyone to grab pamphlets and knock doors all over the city. Imagine 10k people knocking doors all at the same time. You could cover an entire city in a day. That would flip blue areas nationwide. Go directly to the people, listen to their grievances, and solve them with policy based on conservative principles of governance. Don't argue. Don't talk about democrats. Just pitch what he'll do better. At the rally, Trump should also bring up local republican candidates and tell people they have options to have better. All politics is local. We need to have conservativism represented in the government closest to them. I'm Black, a Conservative, a republican and an American and none of that is oppositional to the rest. I don't have to choose between my existence, heritage, patriotism and principles. In America I get to have it all. I love this country! #Unite
@ZeekArkham Love this post- I taught kindergarten teacher and this holds true for our children too - but the Democrats want to make everything about race and gender identity. Leave our children alone - they just want to make friends and learn the ABC’s🍎
I say this is as a petit-bourgeois suburban white: I don't "see" color, I see threat signals. If a black dude walks down the street in normal t shirt, athletic shorts, and ball cap, I sense zero threat. If he's in a wifebeater, shorts at his knees, and walking with gangsta swagger like he has a stick up his @$$, then I see threat signals and I put up my defenses. We don't worry about normal-looking black people. We worry about people who choose to look like they just crawled out of "The Wire".
@ZeekArkham Because you are a true father and husband and a real man! Dignity and self worth emits from you.
@ZeekArkham Very well said !!! The liberals are working hard to keep racism alive and well.
