That is because 98% of the US isn't racist, at least not enough to affect anything.

But when you have the MSM telling us how racist whites are every day 24/7, and organizations behind the scenes like BLM organizing riots and protests, it can seem like the entire country is a neo nazi.

It's now acceptable in my college classes for professors to mock traditional values and religion while pushing pseudo-science. Even my Berkeley PhD biology professor does this.

It's like Morgan Freeman alluded to. We have a race problem because people can't stop talking about it and inappropriately applying it to people.

Actual white supremacists who live miles away from blackbloc types must be giggling when they see some white average joe get attacked for being racist, while they get no scrutiny at all.

I saw a news story about an Indian woman (from the UK) who moved to Portland with her husband and daughter because she thought it would be a liberal utopia. When she got there she thought it was too white and that she made a mistake. Her own words were she wanted a community where her daughter would grow up with people who looked like her.

Do you think a white person would be allowed to say that without being labeled as literally Hitler?

That would be a decent compromise for me. Early 2000's wasn't bad.

Everything started going batchit after social media (like the other user said) and the gay rights stuff took off. Gay marriage was 100% a legitimate slippery slope, no fallacy there.

Chaos is white people not maintaining a relatively strong majority and being the dominant culture. Conservatives can't just play this game like race and demographics are irrelevant, like they have been since Reagan or even before.

Demographics are 100% relevant, I'm just talking about the culture of that specific time period. It wasn't so bad. Not ideal, but 100x better than 2010 and onward.

Yeah idk, I see the ultra-conservative view of gay marriage. My friend is gay and married and I wouldn't want him to feel like lesser of a person, but I also asked him if he thinks gay people should really care that much about "marriage" considering the sorry state of it. I always suggested they could just come up with a superior form of union without all the financial strings attached. Win-win.
