Don't be patronising. Black people are not stupid - I should know because my wife is one.
If a black person says they disagree with the statement "it's OK to be white", you can believe they know what they're saying. And it's no surprise, because you have this problem in America - there are so many voices in echo chambers stoking racial grievance today... well I'm relieved that the number isn't even higher.
So what is the solution to this?
Scott Adams says there isn't one. Maybe he's right. How do you deescalate this? And if tensions continue to escalate, then what choice do people have other than to peacefully move apart?
- hutzlibu 4y agoI did not say black people are stupid. I said common people are not strict users of boolean logic in their language. You can see that also with "black lifes matter". If you would poll for that, then very likely quite some people would answer no, not because they are racist, but because they think "all lifes matter". "How do you deescalate this?" To me the solution would simply be not caring about skin color anymore. Not making such flamewar polls. Not encode it in laws, regulations, quotas, ... because all this is cementing the importance of skin color, instead of moving beyound it. "And if tensions continue to escalate, then what choice do people have other than to peacefully move apart? " You can just move towards people, who also don't care about skincolor. It is not a binary decision. Ask people in between, what they think of it. Anyway, if black and white racists seperate and stay by themself, then this is fine by me.
