RACEListen up white devils, it’s not “Okay to be white” and saying that you think being white isn’t “okay” isn’t hate speech or in any way racist.

"I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people… because there is no fixing this,"

Is he wrong? All this talk of DEI, but the folks who spout it are doing everything in their power to re-segregate society not unite it. They engage in the exact same behavior they accuse their opposition of doing; creating scapegoats. Isn't that what Hitler did with the Jews? Maybe we do need to go to our respective corners. If we can't behave as adults and treat each other with respect, why engage. I think it's already happening organically. We're in a sort of diaspora now. What normal person wants to live in any of the big, metropolitan areas? NYC, Chicago, Philly, San Fran, LA...you couldn't pay people to move to these places right now. And with remote work, it's not to hard to find a nice community that doesn't have all those issues where you can live quietly and actually be a part of it.

I live in a big city and work and interact with black people every day. And it's fine. If I were to try to "stay away" from them, I couldn't do my job. In real life, it isn't that hard just to get along with people.

It's not the people, it's the policies. We're forever trying to overcorrect in this country and usually end up in the ditch. I'm not saying it can't be done, but maybe neutral corners until we mature enough to mix.

Yep. If he said that white people need to stay away from the black racists I'd say he's on the nose, but they need to stay away from the white racists too.

Plenty of black people don't buy into this shit. Can't lump them in with the idiots. That's how you start a race war and you don't have the luxury of choosing your side in a full on race war, it's chosen for you like it or not.

I don't know if it would ever result in a full-on race war, but we're organically re-segregating anyway. More and more people who have the ability to work remotely are moving to red states and out of cities, especially ones with rampant crime. We talk a DEI game in politics, corporations and media, but in reality, we're moving apart. Not necessarily along racial lines, but definitely along safety lines.

I live in a quiet, diverse neighborhood; a DEI paradise if you will, but I know for a fact there are neighborhoods I would not be welcome in because I'm white. Not so sure it's as equally true if I were black. I think more white/mixed neighborhoods wouldn't even bat an eye.
