Interesting thing about race relations. Racism is not dependent on you noticing.

Fun fact, in 1967 a poll was done that found that over 50% of white Americans believed whites and blacks had achieved racial equality in the US. So that means when Dr. King gave his "I have a dream " speech, more than half of all whites were standing around confused about what black people were upset about.

White privilege is not dependent on you noticing it.

Helloooo - we elected a black president, didn't we? Racism is over.

@Graylight Sure, but this message is good enough that some who call themselves "Conservatives" really might be harmed because of this message.

Your sarcasm, imo, is spot on, with the modern generation that calls themselves "Conservatives" playing on voters' ignorance of history and short attention spans.

You can literally throw out just about anything these days, repeat it enough, and it'll "sound good" if it supports their POV.

Admittedly, it's not entirely a one side thing, and "libs" (and I use that term loosely) use repetition and lack of context as well, but I don't think it's an equal "both sides" thing when you factor in "liberal" control over educational institutions and the antagonism towards rational thought.
