People are pissed and tribalism is as bad it’s been in decades but this is cyclical, especially throughout American history. And we’re already starting to see the Overton window shift. Brees’s comments were mainstream 4 years ago and today nobody will publicly back him. Folks are recognizing the racial disparity in this country and the moderates are shifting their position. I don’t even care about the right side of history bullshit meme but the WFR types are going to be left behind.
Black Lives Matter is political incoherence at best, and a terrorist organization at worse. My favorite part about you is this claim to have a deep knowledge of history. What "history books" have you read that show the positive longterm consequences of a minority group in the country playing out a grievance against the majority for political gain? Where has this worked out?
Playing societal outsider and claiming that the entire rest of the country needs to change is an act that will not play forever. I challenge you to find a country that has gone further to attempt to provide agency and equity to a racial minority. It's been 60 years of legal protections, scholastic preferences, and indoctrination about past suffering. We literally ignore ever other inequity in our society yet hold this one on a pillar. Yet, BLM stands for going even further: eliminate the police, give "people of color" money, kneel before us and accept your white original sin. The center cannot hold if this is the policy.
The longterm scenarios for this are (and create to America for the 1st):
1. A South African like state with private armies for the top ten percent. This is the most likely.
2. Further ghettoization and reservation like rules for American blacks
3. A downturn in economic fortunes for the United States and scapegoating of American Blacks reverting back to Jim Crow era policies
4. Civil War
A color blind policy is your only real longterm chance for harmony, but that has been abandoned due to neglect and outright decadence. There is zero scientific evidence behind unconscious bias, and all the other white guilt policies being pushed. The book to read is from Dawn to Decadence by Jacque Barzen. There has never been a society that had perfect equality. Ripping out this one because we haven't figured out how is a terrible idea that will result in piles of bodies as the foundation of the new "utopia".
