Found the following from a Candace Owens video:
Black Lives Matter and Antifa activists are what happen when a society gives birth to an entire generation of spoiled rotten brats who have never experienced any real suffering.
Now there are some great young people to be sure but I scratch my head at people in their teens and early 20s thinking they are heros for posting that racism is bad. Another dangerous thing is the glorification of people with shady pasts like Blake and Floyd. In the Blake case you can argue that 7 shots was excessive but people get furious if you point out that his choice to ignore the cops led to that moment. Sadly people like Canon Hinant or David Dorn don’t get golden caskets and adulation.
One of the worst cases of police brutality I’ve seen is the Daniel Shaver case. If you want to shine a light on bad cops then you can’t act like only black people are treated poorly by cops. Shine a light on all of it while working to establish good relations between the police and the community.
Finally I was born in 1980. Anyone else around my age feel like we were making progress in the racial unity area as a society until Obama? I say Obama because that’s when I remember race being talked about endlessly and I first heard nonsense like micro aggressions and white privilege.
We had it made in the 90s and 00s. Racism was nearly non-existant, save for a few nut jobs. Then Obama came, and all of a sudden race mattered. Racial lines were drawn country wide, and with it on people's minds, racism returned.
The irony is, the majority of the racism comes from the anti-racist movements.
The government needs to stop collecting race data. The left is right about the social construction of racial identity, and statistics are the vanguard of the managerial state.
Strange, usually it's only leftist arguing that we should stop collecting racial stats, with the argument that the data is making people racist.
I'm not so sure that's the case. Regressives already have bizarro-world views of minorities, due to lack of interaction with them rather than reading any statistics. People's stereotyping of groups comes from their experiences with them (or lack there of) and the depictions of them that are consumed (especially when they lack any first-hand experiences that contradict those depictions). Klansmen that never interacted with a black person are fundamentally no different than SJWs that haven't either, other than the type of depictions of black people they've grown up with. This is just cultivation theory.
