It’s the same party running the racism show, they just changed jersey colors.
Democrats ran Jim Crowe racism, they are running the same plays calling it social justice, crt et al.

Because you’re angry. I’m not here to make one side more righteous than the other, because both are ignorant and wrong. I just know what I can control in my circle of influence. I’d rather talk about doing the right thing instead of pointing fingers at ignorant acts beyond my control.
Btw, you won't hear me apologize often, so you may want to put that in your sigfile. ~Mergie
I'm not angry. I'm curious.
We have a serious racism issue. And it ain’t Maga extremists.
This story has been kept pretty quiet.

Gotcha. I don’t know the statistics and I’m not questioning your feelings. What I do know is that after living in South Carolina, I can say it was like living in another time period. My wife is German. I met her while stationed there. We have two children and living in SC was a challenge. It seemed like a lot of blacks were divided against white people. My daughter was in middle school and was harassed about having white friends. On the other hand, I had a gun drawn on me at a boat ramp and told that the confederate flag flying there should have been my first warning. My wife got cussed out by an older black woman where she worked at because she knew how Nazis felt about black people. The next day, she was in her car with our kids when an old white guy went off on her, calling her a traitor and n****r breeding machine. She had to lock herself in the car and call the police.
I really like you SW. I think you’re extremely intelligent and funny as hell. If there were ever a time for us to cross paths, I think we’d have a helluva time. I’m just at a point in my life now where I worry less about making sense of nonsense. I spent too much energy on being mad about shit I can’t control instead of appreciating the good things all around me that I missed.

I like your black ass too
But do he gotta peezy head

All of that is inexcusable and I'm sure nobody on this forum supports that kind of thing.
On the other hand, there are quite a few neighborhoods in SC where my white behind is more than unwelcome. And if I showed up at the wrong time, I may not make it out alive. My concern is that the continued victimhood agenda and topics related to CRT are going to fuel the growing sentiment towards whites and we'll continue to see an increase of black on white crime. I do believe the politicians pushing all this are doing so because their exact intention is to fan the flames of race based hatred. It's good for their political agenda. Nobody could ever convince me otherwise.
When I make my trips to the lowcountry to camp and fish the tidal creeks I run into older Gullah folks at the ramps. They're some of the kindest people in the area that I've met so far and they talk to me like they've known me for 20 years. The older ones, not the younger ones. The younger make it clear by how they look at me that they don't like me. One time I was sitting in my kayak at peak high tide shoved into the grass eating lunch. Just waiting on the tide to change to fish the mouth of the creek I was right by. 2 older Gullah folks boated up to me and asked if I needed help thinking I was stuck. The point is they most likely don't buy into this victomhood/CRT bullcrap because they're old enough to remember Jim Crow and actual racism and see how far things have progressed in the right direction. They know they have no reason to dislike me so they treat me like they'd treat anyone else so says hi to them at the boatramp.
It seems to be the younger generation has been the most impacted by the victimhood mentality, constant accusations of racism to white people for everything, and CRT topics being talked about so often. That isn't setting us up for good results in the future.

HA! Hey a lot of redfish and seatrout down there have headed to a skillet over a campfire via that kayak. Those are fun trips but the place still puzzles me. I have intermittent success and haven't quite figured it out.
If I lived closer and could fish it more I'd probably get a boat but only to head to deeper water and chase different species. All I've done is inshore stuff.
