I think it is exactly what is needed.

Here is another article which describes it well.

That’s only a symptom of racism, not the cause of it. If you end or drastically reduce open racism, the same will happen with the labels.

He made his account two days before Bronz was muted, but he does seem to be filling his niche rather nicely.

Strip the labels first. Do everything else needed immediately after.

Yes, we should move past the concept of labeling each other based off of our skin color and instead devote more time and energy into pleasing our Albanian overlords.

We probably ought to stop capitalizing them, but that’s just a personal belief.

And yet I imagine you have once said that it’s not a problem that people have groups for people who are “proud to be white”.

Some of the ideas about race that are floating around here are retarded. You can’t get  reparations for something where no is alive today had experienced it but it is definitely something that continues to be a problem and simply just saying “let’s be friends!” isn’t going to solve it. It’s as if someone thinks apologizing for one of the heinous crimes in human history makes it all better.

So uh sure. I guess people shouldn’t be proud to be a member of a race of but what this is asking is if we should stop telling people to lose weight or something.

Well then you “imagined” wrong. “Proud to be white” is wrong and so is “proud to be black” and any other race.

Stop assuming things you don’t know about people.

To answer the question, I say no. I have retired "African-American" from my vocabulary for the most part, simply because not every black person is of African descent.

honestly the way i see what happened in the last 50 years or so was the man saw that "blacks" and "whites" were starting to unite and integrate together, so they started over policing black neighborhoods so crime rates skyrocket, making white ppl afraid to live there, probably been paying off prominent celebrities and the media to spout anti-race mixing propaganda, have been creating the illusion that the republican and democrat parties support one "race" over another to divide us further, and the media love pushing it because they realized massive profits were to be made from pushing the narrative that we are divided against each other

race isn't real, we are all human
