I'm hopeful. The younger generation seem to be better at getting along with different races, but us oldies could do better.


The way things are at the moment IF it does die out, it's probably going to get a lot worse before it does. :shake head:

It won't because it is constantly evolving in shape, form and description.

It dies down and the Ultra Liberals don't like that therefore alter the definition and broaden the crimes associated with it.

It pays to be a victim of certain "chosen crimes".

Andy makes a good point. The dictionary definition of racism has been more or less addressed.

Now we have microaggression, safe spaces, cultural appropriation and implicit bias. Now we are told that being colorblind is a form of racism because it ignores white privilege.
