I think racism is not dead yet, because it is kept on life support by people who would benefit from it. Grifters telling white people for a hefty price how racist they are. And for black people who want to use the false victim narrative as a shield against criticism, work, accountability and reason (e.g. BLM)

I am on the internet a fair bit, often looking at contentious social and political topics, including race relations in different countries. I almost never see racism, apart from some idiot colledge kids, woke professors, protesters, professional victims and ideologically captured news outlets. I get that this is not nothing, but if you account for the mentally disturbed and for people who do not need to work or even produce results or proof to stay in their position, I would say the rest, that is the big silent majority, is quite well adjusted.
Additionally I suspect that for every comment on the internet that was actually racist, we get a bazillion talking about it, falling over themselves to signal their virtue, and a bazillion more misinterpreting jokes and memes (as mentioned in the op) as racist, to again show how good and anti-racist they are. ... Perhaps a whole lot of this is just plain projection.

And if MLK was for equity, he was on the completely wrong track. Equity is poison to meritocracy and productive society. He should have much rather thought that black people would not need a hand out, that, given how generational wealth actually works (and how few people are actually wealthy to begin with), black people would make it at an equal playing field, because they are no worse than white people.

Equality before the law for all people who were made equal.
Equity for all races beneath that, unable to compete.

Hundreds of years of handouts and federal assistance for white people to help them build wealth, from the Homestead Act to redlining and Levittowns (often which had disastrous consequences for the people left behind), but as soon the federal government could no longer discriminate against minorities, government assistance quickly became just immoral handouts for the lazy. 

How strange...


Meritocracy cannot exist without starting from a place of equality.
