Unintended Consequences of "All Things Racist"

I am not an expert on anything except not being an expert...
I am a senior citizen
a veteran
a parent
retired
well educated
well experienced
a conservative liberal
riddled with cancer
opinionated
sarcastic
clean shaven

All of which put me in a perfect position to make the following statement...

OUR FOCUS ON WHITE SUPREMACY, WHITE PRIVILEGE, AND RACIST AMERICA...  IS ACHIEVING NOTHING EXCEPT CREATING MORE RACISM IN AMERICA...

This may sound a little odd but I believe that it is more correct than it is incorrect.

There will always be a few whites who automatically feel guilty about slavery and want to do something about it because it was so horrific and devastating...  but, a vast majority of whites, see slavery in our past, and there is really nothing that can be done about our past except not to repeat it in the future.

Anything more is overkill... and turns into resentment...

Black Lives Matter...  in an of itself is racist because it ignores all the other lives that are in the US of A.  So, until that slogan changes into something like ALL LIVES MATTER...  then at least 50% of whites, maybe more, are going to ignore it, and disregard the message.

Critical Race Theory...  in and of itself is also racist because it does not accept the changes that have taken place in the US of A and it is teaching a THEORY rather than a fact of life in America several hundred years ago to the present.

ALL BLACK CHURCHES...   in an of itself could easily be seen as racist since it offers little to no encouragement to ask whites to join and participate in their brand of faith...   it is almost like black churches practice a different faith than white churches...  and, the blacks do not want the white to participate with them...  by definition, that means black churches are racist.

AFRICAN AMERICAN CUTURAL CENTERS on college campuses...  in an of itself are racist because they refuse to be perceived as simply American Cultural Centers.  In a way these centers are saying the two races are and should be MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE....  again, the very definition of racism.

Creating Categories between white and black underscores separation and perpetuates RACISM...

What is going happen to the US of A, if:
  • Asians want the spotlight
  • Hispanics want the spotlight
  • Jews want the spotlight
  • Russians want the spotlight
  • Irish want the spotlight
  • Mexicans want the spotlight

The whole point of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is that we are UNITED...
