      As in

      • Not talking about race will solve the lingering systemic race issues, or
      • There are no lingering systemic race issues, so we should stop talking about it?

        Oh no the US is a shitshow of systemic racism, like super ridiculous on every level. There is such a wild undercurrent, surface levek and then an even weirder like super liminal racism where it just has to be mentioned.

        Watch like any late night and they will make a self depricating white person joke, middle aged white guy thing. Just stfu about all of it, address the systemic issues with actual actions and then just you know…live as neighbours as americans.

          So the US is a shitshow of systemic racism but you want everyone to stop talking about race? Sounds like a way to never fix the problem.

            Yeah I want everyone to stop thinking that making jokes about white people’s potato salad being lacking in flavour and thinking it is 1. Funny and 2. Making any fucking difference other than highlighting differences. Black people can swim and have small dicks, white people can dance. The pop culture racism is boring and part of the problem.
