Obama's election was supposed to be the end of race as an issue. It turned out that he was just an effective trojan horse for his radical handlers who wanted thing the way they are, with race at the forefront of every interaction, and no way to escape it.
God I was so naive back then. During the run-up to that election, I watched Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann every single night. I lapped it all up completely. I was repulsed by John McCain and Sarah Palin. I laughed at Tina Fey on SNL and browsed Digg to laugh at how stupid Republicans were.
I thought Obama's election win would be the culmination of the previous 60 years of the civil rights movement, and that we'd truly be done with race being a factor for anything.
After Obama was elected, I stopped following politics for the most part. By 2012, I still voted for Obama but I wasn't enthusiastic about it like the first time.
I paid enough attention during his first term to know that he turned out to be just another politician, but it wasn't until early in his second term that I started realizing just how bad he was for America.
If I had to pick one incident that opened my eyes, it was watching the police brutality awareness movement get hijacked by BLM. Anyone who browsed reddit regularly in the 2-3 years leading up to BLM's founding can tell you that police brutality videos were all over the front page. Those were the first few years after smartphones exploded in popularity and even your grandma could now easily film Police brutality incidents. In those threads, race was rarely mentioned. Everyone agreed that police officers needed to be held accountable when they were caught red-handed breaking the law.
The movement was organically gaining steam, but then BLM was founded and propped up by the media. Suddenly it became all about black people. That disgusted me and I was completely against BLM from day one. Then I saw Obama and everyone else suck BLM cock and that was it. There was no going back.
I voted for Palin and the Old Guy in spite of being a rabid libertarian. The past summer's BLM activities have moved me firmly in the direction of 14/88.
And then BLM conveniently went mostly dormant following the election, once they had served their purpose. But I bet the come on strong again in 2024, or possibly even 2022. Whenever the DNC needs their money-funnel to come back online.
The time is long past. Survive first, regain humanity after.
Why would you want to be color blind? You want to erase your own intelligence? The millenia of evolutionary traits that helped your ancestors recognize patterns and protect their own families to get to this point? You want to throw it all away cause muh racism?
Exceptions exist. That doesn't discount the larger trend.
