This is such a perfect article by a successful black woman on Affirmative action/DEI and Fani Willis, I'm going to post it in the bash Trump thread as well. To showcase the disaster of focusing on race, instead of individual achievement.

Sorry, I do not believe that. Now, you may well not have had racial thoughts about him, but to not notice that a person is of a particular skin color, one would have to be blind.
One thing I know is that racism is "learned." There have been many tests done where little children of differing races are placed together and they do not exhibit any racial bias. They all play together, laugh, cry, and run and tumble together without any regard for the race of their play mate. It is only when parents display racial bias, or older siblings, or children at school do so that a child learns racial bias.
Racism is born of ignorance and learned of fear of those different.

I had good friends at church who had darker skin than I do. One of my buddies and I were talking about doing laundry for some reason. Racism and the seeker sensitive stuff was in the news so it made me pause when I started to talk about separating the whites from the colors. 😲
I was afraid for a second that he'd get the wrong idea and then realized what a stupid thought.that was. 🤦♂️
😄
He never brought up that his tan was darker than mine though.

I think it is as weird as the concept it proposes. Just saying, 
Here's an American who I am listening to at work in the background. He has an interesting point of view.
Royce White on America First.

I have a homeless black man living in my home currently. I know a little more about empathy than you imagine.
Just out of curiosity, how many homeless people have you housed in your lifetime? Lest you think I'm trying to embarrass you, I'm not. But you should be careful what you assume about others. Another hint, bringing a person's parents into a conversation doesn't usually end well. But as I am able to empathize with you, I'll not take offense.

I have enjoyed several documentaries this month featuring black people. It's time to recognize these over achievers and their contributions to our great nation. One of my favorites is the a National Geographic special on Katherine Johnson and Mary Jackson. Here a link to the story.

Having empathy for someone for the color of their skin is pre judging them. It would be exactly like pre judging them as a criminal just because most crime is committed by people that look like them.
It breeds a victim mentality and tries to make other people feel guilty because of the color of their skin.
How about we judge people on the content of their character, and not on the color of their skin?
I know a radical guy that use to dream that.
