  1. I no longer care, personally. About any of it. Its been discussed, explained, and acknowledged over and over again. Yet they still insist that "we need to have a conversation". No, we don't. What you mean is "I want to speak, and I want YOU to listen. You must accept all the lies and alterations I've made to documented history, without correcting me or interrupting while i try my very best to victimise you and instill some kind of misplaced white guilt in you. For something you didn't do, or would ever approve of and that your ancestors likely had nothing to do with either, since most people were very poor. In fact, you don't get to say ANYTHING about it because you're white. so its not in fact a conversation, but a lecture i would like to give" Whatever love, it happened and we can't change it. But we stopped it, and made an immense and admirable effort to stop it WORLDWIDE. 15 to 20 years ago this topic was almost dead. Only in such a privileged and fair society as we have today, could people be so soft and pampered that they whinge about something that never happened to them, like they have suffered some great injustice themselves. How is racism supposedly so bad, that its more of an issue in 2024 than it has been in decades? We are the furthest away from the time of slavery and real vile racism, but these grifters want to call the slightest thing racist and keep the issue alive. Even though nobody was thinking about race, and there was no evidence of it, they started saying " just because you don't see it, doesn't mean its not there...! Its institutional, its micro aggressions, its unconscious bias, its maths, its being on time". Funny that. Its all around us, but... "you can't see it because of your "white privilege". And it needs a deep dive and leaps of logic that actually defy logic to find any, but its there. Trust me bro." Its so pervasive We have to look REALLY hard for it, and you have to be really very generous to accept the notion that it counts as racism. The only racism is from those trying to insist its still a thing, so they can exploit the civility of weak white people who are easily manipulated.
