Take a group of people. Divide them into two groups. Tell half of them they are victims of injustice and the other half that they are privileged and owe the other half something.
When has this ever produced anything positive? For either side?
We do this from preschool on up, and it has only made everything worse. Bring back the "melting pot" concept, please. Underline our similarities and shared goals. Both political parties are weakening our unity as much as they can.
- penultimatename 1y agoThe civil rights movement in the US in the mid-20th century didn’t produce anything positive? The women’s rights movement? I’d say the lack of sharecroppers, let alone slaves, and the right of women to vote and speak freely is positive. I understand what you’re getting at, but you’re ignoring quite a bit of history that brought us to where we are today.
