Discrimination Based On Race Is Racism
The entire debate on this subject has escalated to an unfathomable degree in the last few years.
We have been led to believe that racism today is somehow more of a problem than it was fifty years ago or even worse than it was one hundred years ago. How can racism possibly be worse today than during slavery? Then again was slavery the hight of racism? When we compare the Arab slave trade to the Atlantic slave, we have been told that one of these was predicated on the idea of racism and the other not so much. The Atlantic slave trade happened on a period on two hundred years and estimated about ten million people where sold into slavery, now compare that to the Arab slave trade that started in the 8th century up until the 20th century, and is still happening today. We aren't told about the Arab slave trade as much because it does not fit the evil white man narrative.
There has been a serious vilification of a specific race, which is white people. I keep seeing people telling white people to be aware of the privilege that is associated with their skin colour, talk about a racist generalisation. Firstly, I don't call this a race privilege, I call it parental sacrifice, my folks gave up everything they had to provide me with everything I need, they stayed together no matter how hard it got, for that sake of their children. These days that is now considered disgusting and shameful to be proud of it, it is disrespectful to those who did not get this same sacrifice from their parents. Our society is at the stage where is openly chastises people solely based on their race, and then says this is somehow not racism?

"Google is a private company. It has the capacity to utilize its massive power for whatever political agenda it chooses. But for it to pretend to be an advocate for Internet freedom while simultaneously disadvantaging messages it finds politically incorrect is deeply hypocritical." - Ben Shapiro
We should all have an honest look at society, and at what we are being fed by the news media and social media. Just look at the blatant hypocrisy of what is happening around you, it is considered completely political correct to accuses all white people of something, but then accuse other of racism. Then we are told that the definition of some words have changed, to mean new things, like how only people with power can be racist. Things like institutional racism is still a thing, please point me to this institution that is still racist, are they referring to black economic empowerment, where people of a preferred race are given an advantage above someone else of a different race? They try to explain how something like that is not racist much the same way they try to explain that taxation is not theft.
We are as a society moving ever closer to equality of outcome rather than the equality of opportunity, and to explain why the first one does not ever work I'll use a little analogy. Think of playing a game of monopoly, equal oppertunity mean that everyone should be allowed to play, that it, plain and simple. Equality of out come mean that each and every person playing the game of monopoly has to finish the game with the exact same winnings as the other, just try to imagine trying to regulate the action of each player the entire game, it's almost impossible. That is what this ideology attempts to do, control of everything, including our thoughts.
