A great deal of energy has been placed into making Americans see race once again. Sure, DEI is part of it.
But ask yourself, who benefits from a balkanized America?
As usual, the same forces behind DEI and other movement to destabilize us - communism, read: China.
Now, there are some outright suckers on all the sides who've been bamboozled by the surface level tension of race, and are throwing in with "go back to Africa" and "resegregation is not bad OK." And we're seeing it from the fringe of the left as much or more than elsewhere.
Even otherwise solid people are caught up in the moment, giving in to the urge to react emotionally even if we can understand why they are, but they aren't wondering what really comes next if we follow that track.
And the answer is worse than anything Black or White or whatever.
The answer is: explicit validation and condoning of and sharia enclaves.
By dividing ourselves and losing sight of the American goal of unity despite differences and a fight worth fighting to sustain it, we're essentially handing over the remaining keys of our nation to Islam. We're proverbially throwing the baby out with the bath water because of myopic impulse.
America offers a spiritual tribe that was never meant to be perfect but always meant to be something to pursue. Not throw our hands up and say "well I guess the experiment didn't work anyways," which is precisely what our foreign foes want us to believe so we give up.
Look at China and what do you see?
Contempt for all other ethnicities.
Islamic regimes?
Same.
North Korea?
Same.
Remarkably homogeneous countries, really, at least where concerns "citizens" and not the slave classes.
Point being, America did succeed, mostly by understanding the juice is worth the squeeze even if perfection is always just out of reach. And that is the only way we can continue to succeed.
All the communist and authoritarian states want us to become a failed state, NEED us to become a failed state, to validate a godless, man made utopia that abandons our pursuit of the transcendent and settles for our baser inhumanity.
Keep it in mind when you see disregulated Blacks mouthing off about isolating and separating by race.
Keep it in mind, too, when you see disregulated Whites doing the same.
You touched on the core of the problem - hyper awareness of race instead of color blindness. This is the direct result of woke/politically correct ideology.
Back in Martin Luther King’s day, people were aspiring to something noble - judging each other by the content of their character vs the color of their skin.
Where did it all go wrong? Lyndon B Johnson. See, Johnson wanted cheap and easy votes for the democrats. And he had learned how much loyalty welfare could buy from the New Deal. So he simply applied some sinister wisdom: “There are two ways to enslave a man. Give him work without pay or pay without work.”
Johnson obviously utilized the second form of slavery. And the black community rotted from within rapidly as their family and community values were replaced with government institutions and handouts. Government, especially a corrupt one, can never be the moral backbone of a society.
And to keep blacks from noticing and mounting a proper resistance to this insidious system, the democrats built a rigorous propaganda system within the schools and media - the combination of which is hard even for critical thinkers to resist.
So they controlled the narrative. They decided that if they couldn’t turn blacks into labor slaves, they’d turn them into political slaves meant to destroy their liberators. Now, instead of brothers, they twisted the narrative to make white allies into “oppressors” even though they bled and died to free them.
This warped narrative was meant to do two things: erode good will between the races and make it so that race grifters like Al Sharpton could continue their crusades against “systemic racism” which no longer existed (as evidenced by the need for organizations like the SPLC to literally fund racist groups in order to have something to fight against).
Under Obama, they attempted to reignite race wars for political gain. They largely succeeded with movements like BLM. But by then, the black community had effectively become sock puppets of the democrat party until Trump shook things up.
Unfortunately, it seems a little too late as the “black fatigue” has set in and people no longer seem to have the patience to distinguish between bad actors and good actors due to the loudest and most destructive among the black community.
I can only tap on glass:

@nazdrakke@ShamashAran@mauddweeb My black 73yo FiL posts Afro-centrist fantasy history obsessively on FB. Often with a verbose comment about how it was hidden and so on. This included a claim that it was a black man that first invented the airplane.
@SongEternal@AtlantaDawg I am 'white' and did not have a dad growing up. Through no deliberate action on my part, I gravitated to a Dr. Huxtable role model (unaware of Cosby's personal failings of course). There were so many great black entertainers/actors in the 80s/90s.
Agreed. I might make a video out of this.
As a black man, I always hesitate to bring up race, despite it being the thing that has always gotten me the most traffic and clicks. I'm wary of saying the right thing. I want to be rational, and make the right allies.
But with Karmelo Anthony... George Floyd, and so many others, the black tribalism annoys me so. Dare I say it...
It fatigues me.
I want to be known as a dapper, articulate man. Not as a black man who can speak perfect English, against my stereotype. I just want to be...
Me.
I don't want to be known as "the black conservative", even though repeatedly, that seems to be a perfect position for me to leverage as a content creator, jokingly or not.
But more and more, I find myself wishing the civil rights era never existed. Why? Because now as a result, we have thousands of copy-paste MLK wannabee's that sound more like a washed up, prison-bred, potty-mouthed Malcolm X, than a cultural Ghandi. (Not to mention, MLK was......... Not all he seemed to be)
With every cause having to do with blacks, much of my... Ugh... Community... Considers our worst criminals, thugs, and rappers to be victims and martyrs and heroes.
They demand solidarity, and when I want to know more about those who should be my "kin", I find less and less in common with their principles. I feel like an outcast from many blacks. Now certainly, not all are like this. Many are just as respectable as I am, and even moreso. But it's enough of us that it's a problem. A major problem.
My mom taught me that I would have two strikes against me. One for being black, and one for being a male.
But now? As a black man, societally, I've been given unfair advantages, I despise what many in my own race have become, and I tire of being related to other blacks by the color of my skin, by both blacks who demand solidarity, and whites who assume I'm a tribal delinquent.
I tire of it all.
I too, just wish to be an individual.
I'm just me. With my own flairs and faults. Look at me. Judge me.
Racially, I feel like the country was in it's best state before Obama ran for president. Because before that, people were caring less and less about race. The wounds from the civil rights era were healing. The old generations were passing.
But now? Our nation has been reminded relentlessly about our differences, the cultural marxists in the black community have fresh fuel to blast their demagoguery, and this nonsense has new life--life that my parents can't even relate to, because they grew up during a different time.
I hate this. I hate all of this.
Forget MLK. Forget Malcolm X. Stop this grievance.
We must follow the way of Frederick Douglass.
Honesty. Integrity. Education.
Command respect.
That has always been the way forward for blacks. It's the way forward for ALL PEOPLE.
Be the powerful individual by virtue of skill, talent, and fortitude. Not by race. But by accomplishment.
But none of this means anything to the Karmelo Anthony types, does it? No, those are merely traits of "sucking up to the white man".
What a sorry state this country is in. And it pains me to see what many fellow blacks have done with their freedom.
What a waste.
I apologize for any typos. I typed this on my phone.
The Karmelo Anthony ordeal boils down to the simple fact that a non-trivial number of black people believe that they should be governed under a sovereign hood code, and any white person who is in proximity to a black person consents to be governed under hood code. This means that any interpersonal escalation, regardless of the degree of escalation, creates the grounds for the exercise of deadly force to defend one’s “manhood.”
They do not think they should be required to submit to the law of the white man. If Karmelo were being tried in a court applying “hood code” he would be completely innocent because he murdered in defense of his manhood. So it is not that they are just pretending they believe Karmelo is actually innocent, they genuinely do believe he is innocent, but under a different set of “laws.” They therefore understand this to be a “modern day lynching” in the sense that Karmelo is being forced to submit to the law of the white man, and therefore his right to murder on behalf of his manhood, which they do sincerely believe is his right, was “violated.”
What exactly am I supposed to have in common with these people?
“We’re all Americans.”
No we are not. I have nothing whatsoever in common with people like this. We don’t share similar lives, values, or even metaphysical belief systems with respect to how one should carry themselves in public.
There’s no shared national identity here, no matter how much decades of progressive ideology tries to claim otherwise.
This is what an enormous chunk of “Black America” thinks of you. They hate you, will celebrate your murder, and then then will complain about one of their own going to prison for it.
Watching tens of thousands of people just casually joke about one of their fellow co-ethnics murdering a kid in cold blood is a more radicalizing experience than years of reading obscure anti-liberal philosophy.
Believe me, I’ve now experienced both.
I was a daily consumer of NRO for years. What happened behind the scenes that had their staff memory hole decades worth of intellectual conservative Constitutional thought? Was it just DC social pressure? A bigger paycheck?
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
I practice law in Collin County, Texas.
Karmelo Anthony will be convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
As he should.
He murdered that boy because he was raised to hate white people and to view himself as a victim in every situation.
It’s a culture thing.
What the West Still Doesn’t Get It:
Communism’s True Core: The Systemic Lie
Most people in the West think they understand communism. They picture bread lines, gulags, failed five-year plans, and the collapsed Soviet Union. They treat it as a discredited economic theory – an experiment that proved that abolishing private property doesn’t work. Case closed, history moved on.
This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time.
Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious: a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying. Not occasional dishonesty. Not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense. Something deeper – a civilizational war against truth itself, waged through every institution, every classroom, every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and the lie became the air people breathed.
The Words We’re Missing
The Polish language, forged by decades of living under this system, produced words for this phenomenon that English simply cannot match:
Zakłamanie [zah-kwah-MAH-nyeh] – a state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in which an entire society is saturated with lies so thoroughly that truth becomes almost inaccessible.
Obłuda [ob-woo-dah] – a deep, performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long it begins to feel like a face.
These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system – a mode of social organization built on organized mendacity, where the lie is not the exception but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under communism lack the vocabulary because they lack the wound.
And because they lack the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the thing when it reappears in new clothing.
The Continuity: Communism, Leftism, Wokeism
What we call wokeism today, or the broader radical left, is not a new phenomenon. It is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The specifics have changed – instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized identity groups; instead of bourgeois class enemies, we have racists and transphobes; instead of socialist realism, we have DEI statements. But the deep structure is the same.
That deep structure is this: truth is not discovered, it is assigned. Reality is not something to be understood honestly but something to be narrated strategically. Language is not a tool for communication but a weapon of power. And anyone who resists the approved narrative is not simply wrong – they are dangerous, and must be silenced, shamed, or destroyed.
This is zakłamanie in its modern form. This is obłuda wearing a human rights badge.
The same movement that insists men can become women will insist, with equal fervor, that questioning this is an act of violence. The same institutions that claim to champion free inquiry systematically suppress dissent. The same people who invoke tolerance as their highest value are among the most intolerant forces in public life. The contradiction is not accidental – it is structural. It is the system working as designed.
Why the West Still Doesn’t Get It
People who grew up in freedom tend to assume, at some level, that bad actors know they are lying. That somewhere behind the ideological performance, there is a cynical operator who privately acknowledges reality. This assumption is wrong, and it is why Westerners consistently underestimate what they are dealing with.
The totalitarian lie, at its mature stage, is not cynical. It is believed. Or rather, it creates a condition in which the distinction between belief and performance collapses entirely. People learn to say things they do not believe so fluently, and for so long, that they lose access to what they actually think.

Il faut avoir l'honnêteté de reconnaître le coup de génie de la gauche, parce que c'en est un. Le plus grand hold-up rhétorique du siècle tient en un seul mot : raciste.
Voici le mécanisme.
Après 1945, après les droits civiques, l'Occident a fait du racisme le mal absolu. À juste titre : c'est une de ses plus grandes conquêtes morales. « Raciste » est devenu le mot le plus radioactif de la langue, l'excommunication moderne, la mort sociale instantanée.
Le coup de génie a été de détourner ce capital moral. Pas pour protéger des personnes : pour protéger une idéologie.
L'égalitarisme des résultats ne gagne jamais un débat sur les faits. Il produit l'inverse de ce qu'il promet, partout, à chaque fois. Alors plutôt que de gagner le débat, on a rendu le débat impayable. Tu questionnes les résultats de l'immigration sans assimilation ? Raciste. Tu défends le mérite ? Raciste. Les maths avancées ? Racistes. Les frontières ? Racistes. Le mot a cessé de décrire un comportement pour décrire une position sur l'échiquier.
Et regardez la beauté technique du dispositif. Pas besoin d'arguments : l'accusation suffit. Pas besoin de procès : la dénégation aggrave le cas (votre défensivité prouve votre culpabilité). Pas besoin de police : la peur fait le travail, chacun se surveille lui-même et surveille son voisin gratuitement. Il suffit d'exécuter publiquement quelques exemples par an pour tenir des millions de gens. Une idéologie irréfutable, protégée par un mot imprononçable. Les deux pare-feux du même système : la French Theory avait aboli la vérité, l'accusation a aboli le débat.
Est-ce qu'un comité s'est réuni pour concevoir ça ? Pas besoin. Les idées subissent une sélection darwinienne : celles qui survivent sont celles qui se défendent le mieux. Marcuse avait quand même déposé le brevet dès 1965, noir sur blanc : tolérance pour les mouvements de gauche, intolérance pour ceux de droite. Le reste a évolué tout seul. Il faut l'avouer : c'était génial.
Mais ce dispositif génial avait un coût, et le coût a un bilan. À Rotherham, le rapport officiel Jay a établi que des fonctionnaires britanniques ont laissé plus de 1 400 gamines se faire exploiter pendant seize ans, en partie par peur d'être traités de racistes s'ils nommaient les faits. Relisez cette phrase. Des enfants ont été sacrifiées à un mot. Voilà ce que veut dire idéologie mortifère : pas une métaphore, un bilan.
Et maintenant, regardez ce qui s'effondre sous nos yeux.
Une insulte ne fonctionne que si elle fait peur, et une monnaie ne fonctionne que si elle est rare. Ils ont imprimé le mot comme Weimar imprimait le mark. Quand tout est raciste, plus rien ne l'est. Résultat : des tweets qui commencent par « traitez-moi de raciste si vous voulez » récoltent des dizaines de milliers de likes et l'approbation de l'homme le plus riche du monde. Il y a dix ans, cette phrase était un suicide professionnel. Aujourd'hui, c'est un haussement d'épaules. L'hyperinflation a tué la monnaie.
Et voilà la vraie tragédie, que les faussaires devront porter : en imprimant le mot sans limite, ils l'ont brûlé pour tout le monde. Y compris pour nommer le vrai racisme quand il existe, car il existe. Les faux-monnayeurs ne détruisent pas que leur arme. Ils détruisent le mot dont une société honnête a besoin.
Privée de son mot magique, l'idéologie va maintenant devoir faire ce qu'elle n'a jamais su faire : gagner un débat sur les faits.
Elle ne le gagnera pas. Au travail.
@RMBee Is there anything about this movie that is good? This horse design is rediculous. How would a platoon or so of soldiers even stack into that thing?
I am a J6er.
Entrapment happened when the doors were opened, and we were let in and given tours while feds in the crowd led the way. Watch video at the 12 sec mark. A black dude is walking against the flow of traffic, saying, "Welcome home, brave men." He was a friend of Ray Epps.
Murder was committed when Michael Byrd shot an unarmed protester, and Lila Morris beat another one to death.
Incitement occurred when the peaceful crowd was fired upon with flashbangs and rubber bullets to the face.
A miscarriage of justice took place when Americans were charged with assault against law enforcement for stopping cops' punches with their face.
Selective prosecution happened when prison sentences were handed down for the same charges $50 tickets were given in the past and afterward.
It was the only Trump rally with no counter protest because ANTIFA disguised themselves as MAGA supporters and initiated the breach.
The double standard and hypocrisy of partisan law occurred when BLM rioters caused over a billion in damages, killed 22, including a cop, and in the end, 95% of the cases were dropped and many got paid.
The cover-up was the sham J6 committee doctoring evidence, then deleting it all.
The Fedsurrection combined all of these and used the riot to stop the reading of election fraud at the Joint Session of Congress.
The Big Lie was and is that it was a free and fair election.
God Bless the J6ers.
