It's Not Race That Divides Us, But Culture
"The
racialists in power have again called us to an “honest discussion”
about race. As they foresee it, this honest discussion will involve
those of us who do not practice racism, but are not black, to come
forward, confess our inherent racism, and be duly chastised or punished.
Dialogue is not going to be part of the process, since non-blacks have
already been found guilty, and the president’s jury is not remotely
interested in evidence.
The
trap in the president’s faux invitation is that it focuses our
attention on the wrong component. The emphasis on race assumes too much,
but does so because it advances the agenda of dividing us on grand
scales, which is more conducive to the illusion of victimhood and the
cure of entitlement. To divide by race in the way practiced by the
president and the left enables them to hide one set of social realities
from scrutiny, while predetermining the fault of another social set,
based entirely on the colors of their skin, as long as it is understood
that the guilty are not black. How is it possible that two or more
groups, coincidentally divided by skin color, live in the same country
but do not live in the same reality?"
