Why do many make everything about race?

Because humans are inherently "racist" if that term applies to wanted to surround yourself with people of your own kind/culture. Multiculturalism is a massive (and artificial) failure.

Don't believe me? Look up the "Dot Map." People self-segregate in these "Multi-Culti societies.

The centuries of propaganda and social stigma attached just won't allow many people to admit it. But I have a feeling we'll be breaking that mold sooner than later as well.

The words "race," "racism," and "racial justice" define an industry that keeps many people employed or elected in public office. Those people don't want to see racial problems resolved.

Almost no one does. The far right fake news just says people do. They want you to believe absolutely everything is called racist to train you to get mad when things are called racist, thus priming you to get mad when racism is called racist.

[Asker]

I don’t think it is the “far right fake news.”

A lot of people, from all varieties of life and politics, have alluded to what I’m alluding to. Also, they have directly observed & experienced this themselves.

[normalice]

Im just saying I've never seen a single example of this except through a screen, carried out by strangers; which, when it comes to outrage culture, you should always assume is manufactured no matter how strongly it resonates with your feelings - indeed, that is the intent behind the design.

But I've seen a lot of real life examples of people getting mad about others being offended by racism. It should embarrass the left how reliably right wing misinformation can depend on the left's outrage or mockery to cover the costs of outreach. Businesses have long known word of mouth is the best form of advertisement but almost no one wants to share compliments. People love to mock and complain, though. So when a right winger wants to get the message that we should give the rich more money in front of as many eyes as possible, all they have to do is include something a tiny bit racist or even just a typo often works, and the left will put it in front of as many eyes as possible for them (this, by the way, is why right wing social media platforms can't work - no libs to trigger and thus no right wing can exist).

Anyway, the point is it's very intentional. You're side is just as predictable as the other in this misinformation dance. The far right disinformers put careful effort into crafting messages that have the most chance of being viewed as racist but with enough plausible deniability that any reaction at all can be written off as an overreaction to someone trained to do so. Attach that to a "dont tax the rich" message and the left will make sure the right sees it and the right will make sure to defend the not quite racism by agreeing not to tax the rich. And, once again, they make off with our money..

[Asker]

I disagree.

I think, with this recent generation of “woke” politics, as well as many news and media being biased and/or left-leaning and politically correct, we’re seeing a lot more “this is or he/she is racist” as the reason for some phenomenon.

It’s not all those of the left
It’s certainly not those of the right

What are downsides to this? Well, words mean something. If this continues, I, like many others have said, believe that the word “racism” will sooner than later start to lose it’s actually meaning in modern society.

It’s like an eye roll reaction now whenever someone says anything is racist or about race.

I think the general public is exhausted of this constant mislabeling.

[normalice]

Yes, that's why they've trained you to think there is a such thing as "woke" politics. But all it really is is the left says we should stop bullying and the right would agree, but that won't help republicans win elections so they think of any other way to describe "we should do something about the bullying," such that division is possible. Abstracting away "it shouldn't be okay to beat traans people to death" as, instead, saying "men will dominate women's sports" is the easiest example. Most right leaning people would actually agree it sshouldn't be okay to beat trans people to death. And if we just focused on that the problem might actually get solved and then the left wouldn't give a shit what rules the right wants to make for sports. Which is why right wing leaders exhaust all their efforts on making sure you don't, in fact, focus on the bullying,

[Asker]

Can you explain your point better? I feel like your writing is making it hard for me to understand your point.

If you’re thinking it is all a right-wing conspiracy and they’ve created a “leftist boogeyman,” I’m not really convinced.

Why am I not convinced? Because, so many other sources, not right-wingers, have pointed out the same things.

I’m not sure why you aren’t convinced this is actually a thing, as opposed to some right-wing fabrication?

I think, once you realize it’s a thing, you’ll be more on the side of someone like Bill Maher.

He definitely thinks republicans are worse than democrats, but he’s an overall common sensical man, with traditional liberal values.

I think this is why I like him despite having different politics.

“The left has changed, not me.”

This is what he’s said.

I don’t think you’re inclined to agree with him and I don’t know why. I’m sure you can see his point if you’re being honest.

[normalice]

I don't know which point you aren't seeing. I was kind of rambling, though.

And I don't know much about Maher. He used to be funny but has a bit of a crowd pleaser edge to him that I can't stand to watch. In any case, I have zero love for democrats. I simply identify republicans as the enemy of the free world. They would rather win power with trickery than earn it with work and merits. They operate in bad faith permanently and exclusively. And so if there is ever any reason you or anyone thinks of to not vote for democrats, you have to consider the possibility that the reason came from any of the cash-flushed right wing misinformation pockets whose sole job is to come up with reasons not to vote for democrats and spread it around. This fact makes it hard to know what to criticize democrats for. And I'd like to criticize democrats, but with performative republicans taking up all the arguments, there isn't any criticism to have.

[notwoke]

if you watch a TV series from 20 years ago you can see how all races got along and when two people of different races say worked together at a job, no miracle or inclusive orgasm was required. Racial harmony as well as gender harmony has never been worse

[BrendanMiller]

Many years ago the aliens decided to put some different types of humans from various planets together on Earth. It's an experiment, they wanted to see if we would kill each other or breed each other or what.

[Soteris]

Depending on what you are talking about it actually tends to boil down to race at some point. It is a systematic problem in countries like USA and is part of pretty much any social and many economic problems.

[NathanDavis]

one my best friends from childhood times was just like that... everywhere we had to go, he wanted to race me for it... lmao

[exitseven]

democrats cannot argue on the real issues facing America because all their policies are dumpster fires so they have to resort to calling anyone who disagrees with them a racist.

[Andres77]

It's empowering.
Being self-righteous and judging others has been a favorite past time of tyrants worldwide for centuries.

[OddBeMe]

Usually the ones who don’t want to talk about race are the ones on top who don’t experience any discomfort in life.

[Zenit93]

Their identity is so frail, that they rely on their race to give them meaning and purpose in life.

[northwestripper666]

Leftist lies. Victim group mentality. It is the destruction of their party.

[fireforeffect]

Marxist use race to divide the Nation, just as they used Class in Europe.

[joeldalton]

Because it's all they have.

[jshm2]

Because it is.

[Asker]

How is it?
