It's where they always go. It's predictable as time. You back them in a corner, place a mirror in front of them, only thing they've got is the race card.

Racism will never die, humans aren’t programmed like that. At least until we are all one homogenized species but no way do I see our race sticking around that long on earth. But the Chinese will do well on Mars.

Sure it will. Eventually. However, when a political party continues to weaponize it and use it at every opportunity claiming the rules are not fair and whitey is the issue, then the answer is no.

He's really struggling. I almost feel sorry for him but then I realize that this has the possibility of becoming a learning experience with some self reflection.

What's this based on? Where has racism naturally died?

Racism will never die as long as people want it to live. True racism does still exist, but not in the numbers that some want to present. The bigger problem is perceived racism, where every negative interaction between a white person and a POC is labeled as racism, even when race was not an actual motivating factor. People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have made fortunes by perpetuating racism while at the same time decrying it. JMO, but I think both have betrayed the vision that MLK had of actual equality.

This is a dodge to avoid acknowledging that people are still uncomfortable with other races.

You left out the word 'some'. And it is true. What you also left out, is that the party of 'inclusion and diversity' goes out of their way to make sure there is some sort of hyphenated division after everyone's race. Why is that? Why are there African Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Gay Americans and...... white people? Aren't we all "Americans"?

And while we are at it... I am still waiting for a good explanation of why mandatory diversity is 'better'.

This is an interesting talk that touches on veterans, monuments, reunions in the years following Gettysburg.

Interestingly, 1,800 veterans attended the 75th anniversary of the battle. Most of them would have been in their 90s.

I'll watch that later. Thanks for posting. I have been to the Gettysburg battlefield twice, with the last being 3 years ago. It is a sobering experience.

Ahistorical fantasy monuments you mean right? They are historically inaccurate propaganda.

To love the coward confederate south so much you are sure uneducated and ignorant about it.

I also hope you or your ancestors aren't from East Tn. This was all pro Union and middle and west Tn southern traitor sympathizers invaded Knoxville and East Tn to stop us from joining the United States and leaving the rest of the state to the traitors.

I'm sick of people like you. What did you and your recent family do for the USA?
