Note: I will naturally ignore any posts that are < 5 sentences. If you’re too inept to read an argument and come up with your own counter-points or agreements, then I will naturally spend the same amount of time you spent on my post. Thank you for understanding.
Below are my points on some of the first steps we need to take if we ever hope to even BEGIN to fix racial issues that have been coming up recently. I understand some might emotionally disagree. I ask that instead of just posting your feelings that you instead post wit your thoughts.
Stop Racial Division. Stop grouping. Stop segregating. Stop "racial clubs".
This never helps. This never fixes anything. It simply sows division. Instead of coming together and identifying as humans, it instead focuses on our differences when the majority of us are 99% the same.
Things like "cultural appropriation" and other such nonsense is essentially the left's versions of racism because it seeks to prevent our cultures from coming together in a melting pot. So instead it sows division instead because "You're not allowed to do that". And thus you teach people that everyone is different instead of talking about how we are (in actuality) all the same.
This Is WHY and WHAT white racists feed off of. When others segregate – they will respond with segregation as well. When you keep proclaiming how we are so different, the white nationalists will naturally do the same.
People naturally want to self-segregate
This is one part where I ultimately have little to offer as far as a solution. As much as I want this to be a melting pot, people are continuing to segregate as they want to live with “their kind”. You can see this in any major city with the likes of a “Chinatown”. You can see it in black community areas. If we truly want people to be equal, we have to stop seeing someone’s skin color or background and saying “I want to be around them because they look like me”.
Education is Important, Yo.
Undoubtedly, education is important. There is no denying this. It is definitely a determining factor in your future career path – HOWEVER, in today’s age there are plenty of people with crushing college debt, a piece of paper degree, and yet they still work at Starbucks. So while education is important – not everyone is made for 4-Yr+ degrees. Period.
On a side topic – if you want to do something like reform college – If you want to make college free…. Overall I’m fine with that. But at minimal we would not cover worthless majors… and we wouldn’t cover everyone that doesn’t make a certain average score. It sounds bad, but like I said – you’re going to have to tell people NO, you’re not made for advanced education. Seek a trade-skill.
But my main point on education reform is that we definitely need to reform in the sense of how schools are paid for. In many states it’s based on things like property taxes – where the amount of budget allocation is heavily dependent upon how wealthy the residents of the area are.
At the same time, I’ve seen school districts that have tons of money and tons of budget – yet they are still epic failures – so I’m not 100% sure it’s a money problem. Chicago schools are a perfect example. If folks want to discuss this further, I would be glad to have a conversation as to why Chicago schools are still a complete shit-hole even with all the money they have with teachers.
Also – let’s talk facts: New York City is the MOST SEGREGATED schools in the nation. This is undeniable. This is a fact. So continuing to proclaim something but actioning otherwise doesn’t fix the problem.
Civics class (and legal class)
Everyone should take a class on civics. This is where you learn to vote, how you can make a difference. Learn about your rights. Learn what rights you don’t have. How to talk to a police officer. Actions to never do infront of police officer – such as attempting to get away. It will never work out better for you.
If you do have legal challenges in life – knowing the appeal process. Knowing about attorneys, how to obtain one. Knowing about settlements – and why you shouldn’t always agree to one simply because someone pressures you. Learn to question authority, think for yourself, and in general not believe everything you hear. Seek the truth on your own – and not via Facebook/Twitter. How to pay taxes – what taxes go towards at a high level.
Also learn that people will judge you based on your appearance. No matter how much you want to call something like this racist – If someone dresses in a certain way – people are going to interpret things about you. This doesn’t really relate to race as much as people want it to – everyone does this ALL the time, whether they realize it or not. The main message to teach the class though: You should dress appropriately. I’ve been to government offices for multiple things: Jury duty, property value, traffic ticket, etc… YOU WILL BE JUDGED based on the way you dress. You know this, you can determine this. Put on some fucking dress pants and a dress shirt tucked in.
Also another item being proposed is requiring after high school that everyone spend 1 year doing social work such as: A year in the military, a year in peace corps, a year in volunteering, etc. I can understand and support that as well. Again, it helps bring people together.
Finance 101 class.
Pretty self-explanatory. Plenty of Americans are just dumb with money.
Learn the basics of amortization for when kids have a home to pay for. Learn to calculate interest costs. Learn the average return of the market for investing. Learn that while credit cards might be fun, paying 24.99% interest rates can be crushing. Learn how payday lenders is a dumb thing to do.
Learn how credit in general works. Things aren’t as simple as walking into a bank and saying “I have a business and I want some more money to increase my investment” … Why? What are your plans for expansion? What reason does someone have to invest in you?
This isn’t as much of a racism issue – but moreso a class issue
Some people are REALLY going to have a tough time realizing this and will get butt-hurt by it - but I assure you its true. When it comes to cops – and our economical quality of life… The problem is much less about race and more along the lines of class. I guarantee you that people are more likely to discriminate based on class than by race.
I REALLY don’t want to bring statistics into this – but you can find plenty of records of cops killing unarmed white men – putting their knees on their neck to death… and in general not having an ability to dig themselves out of an established family hole of poverty.
Feel free to watch the same thing everyone has seen an uproar for - in the context of a white male. Haven't heard of it? It's because no one cared because they were white. This is a problem.
Police Reform:
Without a doubt, we need some police reform as well. But with the right to carry laws in place, it is rather hard for a cop to pull someone over and not presume that if you tried to evade getting pulled over – you probably have a weapon as well. Why would you evade arrest?
It’s a complicated subject, but I think the crux of the issue is that police are putting themselves up on a pedestal. Instead of protecting and serving us as people, they are instead better than us – and we all need to pay traffic tickets to support them.
I fully admit that this is a problem that we need to address.
Black Self Reform
No matter how much everyone wants to avoid this topic, it has to be done. If you want REAL change, this is something that ABSOLUTELY must change. No question. The most significant change will have to come from within. Constantly telling people to vote for things like reparations is simply the soft bigotry of low expectations.
This also isn’t just a black thing – the whole concept of “I don’t need a man” movement is something that applies to ALL races (see chart below). Needless to say, it is undoubtable that not having a father figure will affect the generation of kids. Considering the trend though – and all the feminist movements of shitting on men – I don’t think this is going to improve.
The crime rates are much more heavily substantial in black areas as well. Again – denying this isn’t going to help. Coming together as people instead of separating is what will help.
Looting, pillaging, and rioting in general will accomplish nothing. No amount of posting retarded “WE DON’T OWN ANYTHING!” videos on YouTube will change that. Regardless of not “owning” anything, you are still destroying the property and jobs of your fellow brothers. So when 5 people you know can’t go to work the next day because the store has been destroyed – do you think the white (or Asian) rich owners give a fuck? The answer is no. No, they don’t. You know who does give a fuck? All the employees that work there.
Economic Reform - Stop handouts, Start Making People Feel Like They Have a Purpose
If we ever want to get serious about healthcare, and general well-being – then we need to help people that are fully capable of working… work. That means, we need low (or no cost) job training. That means instead of a bunch of programs that literally put a glass-ceiling above your head that says “You’re going to lose ALLLLL these benefits if you make over $x” and instead replace them with actual permanent solutions. Getting checks based on you not earning money is supposed to be temporary, but it is instead a permanent way to keep people poor.
I think it would be excellent if our government would instead create national programs with partnerships with companies. Anyone can enter these camps – and if you are able to successfully pass the boot-camp you would be guaranteed a middle-class job without a giant debt. That means, HVAC training, carpentry training, plumbing training, woodwork, etc.. No games of filling out stupid applications at a million places either.
Fighting amongst your kind is the problem:
Do you ever wonder why places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc… LOVE shit like Black Lives Matter? It’s because it diverts attention. It stops the conversation “What’s wrong with these working institutions?” and instead diverts into racial segregation that is entirely unnecessary. They love that shit. Let me repeat that…. THEY. LOVE. THAT. SHIT. They love for you to fight amongst your own class instead of fighting against them. They would KILL for – and love to donate $5 million or whatever it is – to Black Lives Matter foundations… as long as you continue to devote your focus on Blacks vs. Whites instead of asking “Why am I not being paid more?”
Companies. Do. NOT. Give a shit. They will have no problem doing what happened during the demise of our manufacturing here in the US. They will gladly leave the towns where they are burned at, and all that will be left is a town of folks with no real economic substance..
