Is there more or less racial tension in the west since woke ideology gained government power?

[Sixgunsound]

It's not a trick question, nor difficult.

[Uannoyme]

Definitely more. You can't fix racism by promoting racism against a different group. You can't fix discrimination with more discrimination. They know this, they just don't want us to know it, and a lot of us don't.

[Sixgunsound]

Keeping the peasants fighting among themselves is the most effective distraction they can come up with.

[KetoJames]

Way more, but that's by design.

[Sixgunsound]

If we aren't fighting among ourselves we might start paying attention to what the system is doing, which they CANNOT have.

[KetoJames]

The woke stuff is all about dividing us. I posted a question today asking why parents were bringing their young toddlers to drag shows. The question was pulled in minutes.

[Sixgunsound]

That tells you everything you need to know about who makes decisions around here. You can tell who owns you by who or by what interests you aren't allowed to criticize.

[KetoJames]

I never really even criticized it. It was toddlers watching men pretend to be women. I just asked parents why they would take their kids to this. In one of the pics I posted, there was a big sign saying : "It's not going to lick itself." This event wasn't about toddlers, it was a bunch of kids that looked five years old. The other pics were much younger kids. Some of them were not even a year old. As a person who isn't religious or goes to church, you have to wonder what kind of mom does this to their kid.

[Sixgunsound]

A mom who is terrified of her frenemies destroying her career and social life for breaking ranks from the rest of the sheeple.

[Sixgunsound]

A mom who values her 'in' group membership more than her children's trauma and mental health.

[KetoJames]

She worships a satanic group.

[Sixgunsound]

Nice...

Although New York and Chicago seem far worse than them.
Then there is Oregon. Oregon is full of violence still, since 2020. They've just taken it over.

I have noticed that when I was coming out of my living room, two old ladies said "Look up there. There's a white woman on her balcony. So, that made me in uncomfortable.
I'm still trying to find a place for my 👛 purse. Hmmm when I go out and take it with me, I am afraid someone will steel it from me, but I need the stuff in my purse to buy things. I don't have big enough pockets to stash all of my stuff. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Any ideas!!!

There's no racial tension in my country only cultural tension, Muslim are not liked and they become more and more disliked the more the time pass because they don't respect French culture. The one who respect French culture though (no matter if they're Black, Asian or Arab are liked and respected).

So the woke ideology didn't rise any tension at all, just that those that are conservative hate the left even more.

[D_Bone_Steak]

More. Obama started pushing identity politics and it took off again.

[Sixgunsound]

We're things looking up in most of society in the late 90's and 2000's before the race wars started again towards the end of the 2000's? It's almost like they can't just let us get along, even though they claim to want just that.

[D_Bone_Steak]

To be honest... I could feel things about to be going SJW as all hell during Bush Jr. and then 9/11 happened and sort of shut those fuckers up after that for a little while. It slowly started picking up when that started to wear off. My beef with Obama is he started actively using identity politics to his own advantage and that just made things pick up steam and accelerate. That shaped the current state of the democrat party in my opinion. Now they seem to primarily rely on every -ist and -phobe words they can come up with.

[Sixgunsound]

Labeling people in boxes forces them into a marxist dialectic where instead of class in the 19th century it is race in the 21st. I stopped getting upset when people told lies about me a long time ago. I'll have a beer with anyone who isn't an asshole, I don't care what they look like.

[D_Bone_Steak]

True... those boxes got made though and a lot of us just got tossed in them against our wills.

I'm just saying I'm sure there are a lot of black people out there that don't feel helpless and not even have the ability to be racist or have accountability and there is a lot of white people out there that are pretty sure they're not Nazi's with the only way out is becoming a transexual.

I guess I'll sum myself up with... there is a lot of needless bullshit out there right now.

[Juxtapose]

Well.. that depends on what time periods you are comparing man. Are we looking at the slavery days? 50 years ago? Jim Crow?

[Sixgunsound]

98-08 vs 08-current. Thank you for correcting that omission.

[Juxtapose]

No problem!

I think it's better for blacks, worse for whites.

[Juxtapose]

It's cool to be anti-white now.

[Sixgunsound]

It shouldn't be cool to be anti-anybody. But if that were the case race-hustlers and victimhood mongers would lose a lot of MONEY and VOTES and goodness knows we can't have that.

[Avicenna]

At the everyday level, not really. But corrupt elites and their Marxist foot soldiers are happy to stoke it as much as they can.

[slatyb]

What do you mean by "woke" ideology? Law varying discussion in employment and public accommodation on the basis of sex, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation? Or something else?

[Sixgunsound]

Quotas that are still racist no matter which race wins or loses, racist rhetoric from government officials being acceptable against some races but not others, cancel culture, the destruction of childhood innocence, the breakdown of civil discourse, the end of human decency, the destruction of strong nuclear families, pedophilia and grooming becoming not only tolerated but career ending to oppose, the Orwellian indoctrination teachers are getting at prep programs in newspeak and 2+2 doesn't always equal 4 as examples, some groups can riot, loot and not give a hoot to the tune of billions of dollars in loss claims, while other groups lose their constitutional rights over cracking a window. I can go on but I think you get the idea unless you decide willfully not to.

[slatyb]

This are all just generalities. What specific actions or policies are you objecting to?

[Sixgunsound]

The ones I just listed? I'm sensing willful fake ignorance here.

[slatyb]

I'm wondering what specific acts you find objectionable.

[NaultD]

If you take a knife half out is there more or less tension? We need the knife fully out to even start healing so we still got a long way to go.

[Sixgunsound]

So what you're saying is the race-baiters and victimhood hustlers and civil unrest profiteers need to stop pushing the knife deeper before anything can start to heal?

[TheSpaceGnome]

More.

In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early to mid 2000s, racism was all but extinct here in terms of even being a discussion topic. Now people talk about race constantly.

[RealMarek]

Survey says…more!

[Sixgunsound]

Thanks Mr. Harvey

[_piotr]

MORE!!!

[Sixgunsound]

I miss the Trump era when you could disagree about politics and still be friends... or blood relatives.
