The left-wing charge that America is a racist country is the greatest national libel since the Blood Libel against the Jews. America is, in fact, the least racist multiracial, multiethnic country in world history.
Neither the claim that America is a racist society nor the claim that it is the least racist country can be empirically proven. Both are assessments. But honest people do need to provide arguments for their position. I have found every argument that America is racist, let alone “systemically” racist, wanting. For example, the police almost never kill unarmed blacks, and on the rare occasions they do

Looking at pure statistics points to the fact that blacks commit way more crimes and make up a disproportionately huge part of the prison population, or at least they did until somebody opened all the prison gates and let the felons flood the streets. Citing those statistics leads to accusations of racism. Who is really at fault here, those who point out the skewed statistics or those who commit the crimes? Indignant blacks immediately point out broken families, broken schools, drugs and unpleasant inner-city life but who are the only people who can fix that?

I think what I find most perplexing about this issue is when we look at the age of our country; we are a young country. Race discrimination, slavery, and religious persecution did not originate in America. Those policies or practices originated in other countries and traveled with the people who came to the United States. As a result, we had to sort through all of the baggage that came with the people. What I find perplexing is that people think these practices originated in America and they didn't. It is also confusing because the naysayers think all of the people coming to America practiced race discrimination, slavery, or religious persecution. NOT EVERYONE. There were disputes going on internally and the obvious one is the Civil War.
I am sick of the likes of George Soros, Obamas, Democrats, RINO's exposing the weaknesses of this young country. We are trying to work through our problems but it becomes impossible when you have the aforementioned people looking at the defeat of our country. It is time for the people who love this country to take it back. . .

If cops and rednecks were indiscriminately hunting and murdering innocent Blacks on a daily basis wouldn't you think that they would give us one example where the innocent victim was not a felon or "troubled" youth who was pulling things together? Why not rally around the victims with no record, who were not troubled youths for the milestone moments that get national, heck global attention? It makes no sense unless there are none. There are two ways for there to be none from which to run up the flag pole: All blacks are criminals or the deadliest game hunt narrative is false. One is absurd the other must be true.
Add to that the troublesome data where even admittedly biased yet honest examiners couldn't justify the narrative. When scientific fact based data and raw common sense both align that's a tall order to disprove which takes more than accusing the messenger of being racist.

We were not Racist, BUT, after 8 years of Obama's blatant racism, and the ongoing chaos, many now ARE. It is hard not to be when the Blacks accuse us of being so, whether we are or not.

Presenting arguments to disprove a leftist belief is a waste of time. They arent listening. They arent intetested in listening. Their minds are made up and any points or persons that disprove their assertions are shouted down.
All we can do at this point is to try to hold the middle and sway people on the fence.
The people screaming racism arent in the majority. They just happen to be the loudest and the quickest to resort to violence to get their way. The majority just want the issue to go away and arecafraid for their safety and jobs.
The trick is to convince the majority that they are in the majority and to just say enough.

Progressive says, "There's no such thing as truth."
Is that true?
Progressive says, "America Is a Racist Country."
Is that true?
Alinsky says, "Make them live by their own rules."
That is true.
Fact:
"America Is a Racist Country."
Is neither true, nor false.
It is an opinion.
For 1000 statistics that can be generated to support it,
there 1000 statistics that can be generated to depose it.
Fact:
"America Is a Racist Country."
Is an opinion people choose to hold
when it is in their political, economic, and/or social benefit.
Fact:
Take the benefit away the whole religion of
"America Is a Racist Country."
will disappear like the morning fog in the valley.

We are not racists. Quit allowing the left to set the national debate. That is a trap for stupid Republicans, and they will take it. The only ones thinking about race is the Democrat Party that uses blacks to whip them up into burning and rioting, thinking that will get them power.

The strongest argument against America being a racist Country is personal experience and awareness. When I am told, "All Trump supporters are racist". I KNOW that is false because I KNOW I am NOT racist. Anyone could review my views and speech and "infer" that it might be racist. They cannot look inside my head and KNOW. Disagreeing with Blacks or their leadership is NOT inherently racist, yet the Left would claim that it is. I also KNOW that a lot of the constructs, like "White privilege", are nonsense. There may be things like "economic privilege" but not systemic "White privilege".
I also KNOW there ARE racist individuals in America, even pockets of people who are racist. There are less every generation. That is why the Left has to invent new measurements and absurd definitions to label us racist. However, there are laws against racism. They are enforced. Overt racists need to be very careful about their actions not to run afoul of laws.
Real racism is in retreat and has been for quite a while. You are not going to win hearts and minds by making things up. Further, the ONLY reason this is being pushed now is for political gain. Even if the dems win it will not benefit non Whites because there is nothing to really fix and it is blatantly obvious that dems screw up everything they touch. Trump made REAL changes that benefited Blacks without blaming America or labeling Americans racists. He fixed real problems in effective ways and invited Blacks to be part of America. That is the best way to eradicate racism.

The only REAL 'systemic racism' in the USA is Affirmative Action programs.
Pure racism, officially sanctioned, often written into laws - which makes it "systemic".

What is truly tragic is that the catastrophic incarceration rates for Black men is a direct consequence of the FDR program to make the Blacks permanent Democrats. The theory was that if social welfare programs could split up Black families, the resulting individuals would have to vote Democratic to keep the programs in place. The consequence was the end of Black fathers, who were no longer economically necessary.
And a child without a father does not do well. Not well at all. That is not an opinion. That is a verifiable fact. Find an intact Black family, find healthy children.
The Democrats have done it to themselves.

Hey, Dumb Dennis, if you're stooping to the level of defending against this idiotic narrative then you've already lost the battle.

The only thing 'racist' in this country are the stupid liberal (but I repeat myself) talking mouths and sheeple that want to bring down this great country. A POX, no a DOUBLE POX on each and every one of them and may an 1000 fleas nest in their armpits...

Hmmm, Is it 'Racist' to hate Communists?

What We are is a big social experiment and leftist are being used like pawns. Mass hysteria is taking place. Imagine being so insecure, you become a lemming with no mind of your own. We are being led into a civil war. Remember when they told US "Blood would run in the streets"?
These screeching white women are getting on my last nerve. Sooner or later, and it had better be sooner, somebody will 'have enough' and put a stop to it.
Follow the money of evil minds.
