Right so why you perpetuate something else?

Most of us seem to agree that systemic rascism exists and CRT has a valid place in education and law etc. etc...The complaints are usually a skewed take on CRT’s points, i.e that it teaches all white kids that they are inherently little racists because they were born white. It’s true that white people are born with privilege, or as Paul Mooney says, “The complexion for the protection.”
I’ve been to events where I was the only white person, supporting the cause. At one I was pretty dismayed by what I heard from the speaker. That all white people are an inferior race of degenerate homosexuals. When they started putting up images of art from ancient Greece depicting homosexuals and saying all whites were disgusting and brought homosexuality to the earth, that’s when I said, “Huh?” Yet everyone else was nodding their heads in agreement.
Anyhoo, I like John McWhorthy’s opinions. Call him an Uncle Tom, Oreo or whatever convenient term that is used to insult him typically. The only loss will be in a less vibrant discourse.

Removed a number of off-topic posts, some of which contained profanity. Next step will be locking the thread.
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Thread locked.
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Moderator consensus was to re-open the thread. Hopefully further posts can remain civil and on-topic.

I would be on the socially liberal end of the Labor Party, which sounds about right.
While I was still in the zone, I also took a quiz on which Power Ranger I am. Turns out I’m the yellow one.

“We must fullstand that ‘God’ is reality. If you do not overstand reality, you have absolutely no sense of ‘God’ or the concept. You are basing the ‘God’ concept according to your interpretation or most likely someone else’s interpretation which is a misinterpretation of true reality, and therefore the misinterpretation of truth.
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Honestly, I had no idea what I was walking into. My friend invited me and said he thought I was one of the few white people who could handle truth. But everyone looked cool, not a bunch of guys wearing robes.Malcolm wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 7:36 pmDefinitely Five Percenter adjacent:KristenM wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 7:21 pmSadiki Bakari.

Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Oh, it’s interesting, alright. I skimmed through it. It’s long. When I have more time perhaps I’ll read word for word. From what I did read, white people may on occasion be allowed to become 5 per centers, as sickly babies. Maybe that’s why I was allowed to be present?Malcolm wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 7:58 pmWell read that pdf I posted.

Bernie Sander’s video about people losing faith in government and democracy doesn’t imo fully address the deep seated mistrust of US government that a lot of people hold. The five percenters don’t trust anyone in the US government. I can’t blame them, even if I don’t agree with them.
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Regressive forces want us to lack confidence in the gvt. What they really want us to do is to lose confidence in ourselves. That’s where tyranny begins, beginning with the first tyrant, Pisistratus, he was thrust into power because Athenians lost confidence in Democracy, that is, themselves.KristenM wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 2:39 am

Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
I am sometimes a bit fascinated as to why so many Buddhists seem to have strong political opinions/views and sometimes are borderline extremists. Discussions can turn emotional and strong quickly. To me it is just more grasping.
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
Yes, and then you have the Wu Tang Clan combing this with their concept of Buddhism...
Re: Quiz - Which Political Party would you belong to?
I am always fascinated by how some Buddhists feign indifference to politics, as if the plight of their fellows is of no concern to them at all. There is all kinds of grasping out there, including indifference.
