I was a big proponent of universal healthcare and believed we needed to make that happen and was exasperated by the dummies that couldn't see the good in it.

The left sees itself as creating a utopia where everything is perfect and will do whatever is necessary to achieve it. I recently saw a guy on social media suggest that anyone identified as a racist should be jailed. Those are the kind of ideas that led to the death and persecution of millions under communism.

Where do you draw the line on what is racist? Is anyone who ever wore a confederate uniform in a Civil War reenactment now in jeopardy of being found out by vindictive lefties and outted as a racist?

My mom wore a blackface costume in her 20s. She dressed up as a character she really liked. It wasn't a hateful thing at all. That was also in a different time. Does that make her a racist? Should we dig up those photos and send them to her boss to try to get her fired?

It really scares me that this is where we're at. The left is weaponizing people's pasts against them and everyone has a past. Even lefties who fall in line and say all the politically correct things can fall victim to this madness. It has already happened to several high profile liberals.

That is very true, but there is some discussion that needs to happen between white and black communities I think because from abroad, the two are living side by side, not together. This blind spot needs to be thoroughly examined to bring peace on both side

Eurpoean haven't faced their colonial past too, and that prevent us to deal calmly with the children of those colonies that are born in Europe.

Indeed. And they both often sound very much the same.

Listening - to others and ourselves - is a lost art?

So how long did your white community (I assume) was bullied and victimized to feel so afraid of the aggressive members of the other comunity ?

Do you think the black (as a comunity) are allowed to feel victimized ? Do you think some individuals are allowed to feel personally victimized, if you finf it acceptable for white who recently saw their social position endangered ?

I see both sides, and I would say that to french people who think france is not what it used to be.

some black people in the dom tom for example have been french for perhaps 10 generations or more.

Who can tell them they are not French ? And they should fit into the mold ? I would argue they are the mold too.

Individually people are flawed so I do understand but colectively, and especially ideologically, it is the danger that threatens the progressist success to change radically the society and run the risk to loose everything to conservatives and particularily ARCHAIC WORLDVIEWS to dominate.

Separate but equal - part of the "good ole days", the reality of which has receded into the background.. remember Black Wall Street in Tulsa?

The left is far from alone in the "shock- outrage" over blackface etc.. 50 years after he left his little rural chapter of the KKK the conservative media and followers love to drag out "grand poobah" Robt Byrd to prove the" Dems are the real racists". .it was Hannity who "exposed" Kimmel for impersonating a black athlete in full body makeup...
