Views on this have changed in recent years, according to Pew Research Center surveys. In 2019, 57% said people overlooking racial discrimination was the bigger problem, while 42% pointed to people seeing it where it really didn’t exist. That gap has narrowed from 15 to 8 percentage points.

    There is little division on Lemmy.

    So many clowns on this site want to see racism where it doesn’t exist that being race-baited is their pastime.

      Nothing makes me madder than people trying to right historic injustice and make a better, more inclusive world for everyone.

      I wish people would stop making me pay attention to the systemic oppression of minorities; as a white guy, I’m pretty sure we solved racism.

        “Sesame Street in the 90’s told me racism was solved and I never actually asked anyone if their lives were better.”

        right historic injustice

        Say it the right way you coward…

        You want to foolishly “solve” racism with reverse-racism.

        But of course reverse-racism is just code for racism toward whites. Which is simply racism.

        Say it right and stop hiding behind some altruistic bullshit. Of course the only thing that reverse-racism does is create more hatred, more animosity, which ultimately breeds more racism.

        Congrats, you clown, you just fell for what the elites want you to fall for… a race war.

          Oh, you misunderstood me; I agree with you!

          I hate forced introspection, and I’m proud of white people for fixing racism. We did it! Fuck the elites making us pretend like there are still historic injustices to correct! Reverse racism is the real issue that we should focus on now. We white people have been shit on for long enough!!

          I’m just glad to have found another enlightened individual to discuss this with!
