I watched Scott Adam’s video. The 2nd half is all just a bunch of bullchit, they are all racist.
As to John Stossel and the SPLC video, I’ve seen that before. He a washed up old Foxnews guy who embraces the negative. Sure, the SPLC has its faults, but I believe, as most people do, that it does more good than harm. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
Anyway, the starter just said we’re up!!️
So you don't see the reason Mr Adams feels the way he does. They're all just racists and are to be dismissed.
I guess if you just dismiss the problem, it isn't a problem.
SPLC is like Jesse Jackson and a number of other charities and activist groups. Started with a purpose, accomplished worthwhile things, and instead of moving on to more worthwhile things they didn't want to give up their gravy train. So they started manufacturing problems to present themselves as the solution. Eventually that turns into nothing but a grift.
I'm not going to do the thread on professionalism. I just don't have the time. But anyone who creates an organization like that should do it with the objective of disbanding it. Solve the problem and shut it down, or move on to a different but equally serious problem. Instead we get people who just can't give up their hold on power. That's unprofessional.
We were doing pretty well with race relations in this country until we elected a black president. After that, all of Dr. King's goals of not judging by the color of skin went out the window and a whole new chapter of racism was written. New terms like privilege, critical theory and micro aggression showed up.
Let's be honest. Once we elected a person of color it pretty much proved that the institutionalized racism of the past had been destroyed and all of these race-baiting and exploiting groups were out of a job.
