Dude I just told you racism has everything to do with color and ethnicity. I called you racist because you over and over defend confederate monuments and statues. Defend and deflect discussions on slavery. Plus other stuff you have said. You say that I don't consider them to be black. Yes I do consider them black because they are black. You say that you respect them. You probably respect them because they share your white supremacy views. Are there any black liberals that you like and respect? You never mention any. In this thread about Kamala Harris, who is just as smart and accomplished as the folks that you respect and immediately you call her a DEI hire. Conservatives do this all the time. But say nothing when Justice Bryant gets chosen for the Supreme Court.
The problem is that these black grifters like Thomas, Scott, Carson and others hate being black and a lot of it has to do with racism that they have dealt with. And the following is the reasons why.
I watched a PBS documentary on Clarence Thomas a year or so ago. As a child growing up he was ridiculed of his dark skin by both the white and the black kids. Because of Jim Crow, in those days and the pressure of living in the world where the so-called European standard of good looks was prevalent, blacks in those days and decades to come performed what was called colorism amongst ourselves. Darker skinned blacks were shunned by all people including blacks. Clarence Thomas and others like him were no stranger to this. Black Latinos and Hispanics in the Latin American and Caribbean countries have also done this colorism as well till to this day. Then Thomas faced racism at the Catholic high school he attended. That was probably the gist of his so-called over correction by joining the the controversial Black Panther Party in the early 70s. You see this colorism ll the time in entertainment, movies, and music.
The bottom line is that the Jim Crow era was very traumatic for blacks living in those times. The result of that has affected how blacks not only view white people but view themselves negatively or positively and those views are still prevalent to this day.
I know you and others are not going to agree what I just laid out. But trust me, I've been black all of my life and I've seen this myself. Plus I've watched countless documentaries about slavery, Jim Crow, blacks in the entertainment industry.
