I'm a 90s kid. I grew up listening to rap, watching a lot of sports, and wearing Air Jordans. Might sound silly, but I carried that into adulthood.
Events of the last couple of months have pushed me away from all that. It's this weird sense of alienation I'm feeling from the black community : "You have to support us, but at the same time we don't like you."
And I'm getting that feeling from all levels. Whether it's Nike and the NBA or just local small businesses or restaurants.
I'm a minority myself and during my almost 40 years of living in America, I have never felt this level of hostility and alienation from a group of people (certainly not white people) as I do from the black community these days.
I always try not to stereotype or paint an entire group of people with one brush, but I admit it's getting really tough. And I fear this is the type of climate that breeds TRUE racism.
Congratulations, you figured out the inevitable outcome of identity politics. This is why anyone who wants to play the identity politics game is the worst racists of all racists. The game is sinister in that we cant tell the brain dead ideologues from the good American patriots. What's important is to hold on to your principles - to judge individuals based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. They will call us racists, bigots, [insert epithet] but they cant play this game forever. I have faith that minorities are waking up to the bullshit pandering. The goal is to find those that are willing to take the redpill. Although they are few and far between you dont need many before the culture begins to shift. That's why changing 1 mind is enough and to do so we need to stick to our principles.
