I don't disagree with anything you say. I do though go one step further.

If, as is generally agreed, we ought not judge people by their skin colour why do we still use it to classify them?

I know it's a simple division to make, so easy to understand, but that automatically makes it divisive.

There are so many shades, levels, ethnicities, cultures and mixtures involved that to suggest there are "white" or "black" races is plainly inaccurate. What there is though is racism based on the perceptions of skin colour.

I don't blame people for this. It's a societal problem as the media and government use the terminology. I also know I am ploughing a lonely furrow but I do hope it is recognised and changed. We managed to change the language we use to describe the mentally ill, those with different sexual orientations etc. Why not this too?

Racial division is largely driven by minorities. 99.9% of the majority White population are not concerned with skin colour, but many of them are concerned with the ever growing list of issues surrounding certain immigrant populations of varying 'colours'.
It's not who you are but what you do that counts, but when one particular demographic has a very disproportionate level of negative behaviour associated with it, then it cannot be surprising when they are stereotyped.

The most divisive person on these boards complaining about posters he doesn't agree with being.....in his view, 'divisive'.

White people are having identity politics used against them and it's been going on in the mainstream for a decade now.

Hence, unless they start using it themselves as a much larger block they will continue to lose. The mainstream right are scared to use identity politics even if they notice it used against them and they metaphonically close their door hoping it goes away.

I agree with them that identity politics isn't nice and that it divides....and that there will always be that element who take it too far. However, if whites don't start standing up against the institutional and corporational lies and mistreatment, it's only going to get worse.

History teaches that if a group doesn't represent and assert itself will quickly be removed from relevance and power....first by demonisation and then legally.

Some on the right point to the hypocrisy and absurdity on the mainstream left when they advance identity politics....but the left don't listen and frankly don't care. All they care about is whether the tactic wins for them, nothing else....they have plenty of liars to cover for them and they know the right will run for cover frightened of the 'racist' slur.....which is used as an anti white insult.

The main liar on here suggested that the link I provided was a small group of extremists. Really? Well I clearly explained that this was a college curriculum actually in use written by a associate professor at a main New York university.

If he thinks that these are extremists, then they are extremists provided with elite level mainstream jobs paid good wages producing 'racist' anti white materials with no pushback from government.

He apparently claims that anti white racism isn't real....strange, I have multiple proof of it I could post as I have posted it here in the past....but liars don't care so what's the point.

These are Democrats allowing this and all you hear from the 'moderate Democrats' is silence.....because essentially all their egalitarian stuff is basically expedient crap that is only used when they feel under attack.....not to be used when they hold power....then it becomes about 'equity'.
