This is a normal post As a Caucasian, upper working class Scotchman. This video holds absolutely no relevance to me whatsoever.
I'm so fucking bored of the whole racial equality debate. Until humanity takes an evolutionary leap forward and stops treating groups of people differently because they look, sound and/or act different, then racial prejudice is going to be a thing. We're all prejudiced to some degree, and we continue to foster those prejudices (inadvertently or not) through the continued upholding of what we regard to be our 'cultural identity'.
Racism directed towards black Americans by caucasian Americans seems to be the prejudicial gold standard against which other racial prejudice is measured, but what happens if we somehow manage to make all the whites and blacks peacefully coexist in complete, unequivocal legal and social harmony only to realise that blacks and whites both harbour prejudices towards Asians, and that Asians both harbour prejudices towards blacks and whites?
What about religious prejudice? Criticising Judaism is a massive no-no because of all the persecution the Jews have suffered over the centuries. Criticising Islam is becoming increasingly frowned upon, but isn't met with nearly as much disapproval as antisemitism. Christianity? Complete free for all. How do you balance out the prejudices and ensure a utopian society where everybody is treated on a completely equal footing regardless of colour, accent, choice of music, choice of clothing or choice of deity?

We can't. Humans are tribalistic. We've been tribalistic for the last 200,000 years. No amount of woke social engineering is going to change that. What we can do (all of us, not just the white ones), is try to recognise when those prejudices are making us act in a harmful or unconstructive manner, and do our best to look past them. But they'll still always be there.

Assuming we manage to survive for another 10,000 years or so, interbreed enough to average out the entire human population into a nice dark olive skin tone, realise that religion in all its guises is a massive fucking scam and being sharing an appreciation for a singular, entirely bland genre of music then we might stand a chance at existing in harmony. But as long as we're able to identify and express our racial/cultural/religious heritage, racism will continue to exist. And its existence will continue to influence governments, and the laws and policies those governments create. There's really fuck all we can do to change that.

Just do your best to be nice to one another. Unless the other person is a massive cunt. Thankfully, personality flaws transcend ethnicity and religion.

This is a normal post You seem in harmony with CRT except for the defeatist perfect=enemy-of-the-good stuff.
And you seem to have a lot to say on a subject you deem irrelevant and utterly bored of.

This is a normal post I've only known Greyhounds, so I'm afraid I'm not qualified to answer that.
Our adoptee only shits twice a day on average. We don't overfeed him, and he's petite, so his poops are almost always one-baggers.

We're fostering a girl of significantly larger dimensions at the moment. Again, about two shits a day, but a shovel wouldn't go amiss when you take her for a wander...

This is a normal post What goes in mainly determines what comes out.
Many cheaper dog foods contain bulking ingredients like cereals and sugar beet, these aren't fully digested and so emerge as huge dog poos.

This is a normal post "Caucasian"
It's an obsolete scientific term so adds no precision. Maybe it's less ambiguous than 'white' when heard on US police radio

This is a normal post What about colourism?
Where lighter skinned black people are given preferential treatment over darker skinned black people?

This is a normal post Some white peoples have been considered 'more white' , 'purer' than others.
At some point it intersects with class, 'ruddy faced' farmworkers versu the pale refined types.

This is a normal post There's a lot of that going on in India, I believe.
But we have the same thing up north. A 'Tink's Tan'
