Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass were both dedicated to bringing about an America that was colorblind, Andre Archie says, but their work is being undermined.

Obviously, this is the height of foolishness, in my opinion.

    Democrats can’t stop trying to put people into groups. My skin color is the least interesting thing about me.

        Yes the democrats. I have no clue what point you are trying to make as usual. Have you ever thought about trying to make a point?

          You said it’s the democrats that love putting people into groups (based on race). Yet conservatives celebrate the confederacy:

          The point of the confederacy was to defend the institution of slavery, which is by definition a form of putting people into groups (and in the case of the confederaxy based on race). It is morally repugnant yet celebrated by conservatives today.

      I don’t know about that. I think it’s interesting that your grandparents spent time in a concentration camp because they were Japanese ; or some of your relatives had to undergo forced sterilization because they were Native Americans; or that they weren’t allowed to get married because they were of two different races.

        That isn’t in our lifetime.

        I am not aware of natives being sterilized but democrats did sterilize black women. Planned parent hood was started in racism.

          You funny.

          That didn’t happen in our life time AND a shout out to Margret Sanger. [born 1879]

          You can’t keep your lines straight.

            Huh? I didn’t claim Sanger was in our lifetime. Her legacy is still going

            Who do you know who was in a Japanese camp?

              Apparently, you didn’t read my comment, or your own reply. I think you just have a notebook full of stock phrases and throw them out when you think they might sound smart.

                I read your comment and replied to it. I did the best I could but your response wasn’t coherent.

                  You funny. If you had actually found my replay incoherent you would have asked for clarification or ignored it. Now you’re trying to play the ‘ignorance is strength’ car.

      While I do think there is some reactionary hate for members of privileged groups, and reactionary and unwelcome protectionism of minority groups (talking about white liberal savior complexes here, not substantive policy); this kind of bad faith comment blaming a group (Democrats) ensures that the divisions that perpetuate them aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon.

        I am not blaming them. It’s their strategy and what they do. Democrats are racist.
