John and Ben run a race. John breaks Ben's knee at the start. John keeps running. After 5 minutes somebody finds Ben. John promises to definitely stop doing that, and the race continues with nothing happening to John or the rest of his team.
Is it "anti-white racism" to not allow John to continue unimpeded? Is it "anti-white racism" to point out that everybody else on John's team is the beneficiary of a system that let John get away with injuring another player?
The judges saying "We don't see teams" when assessing the score from that point out are perpetuating an unfair system. It's not racist to point that out.
When you ignore the long-term consequences of the incident because "I wasn't directly the one who did the thing" you're perpetuating a racism system, especially when IT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. John stopped breaking legs, but he still punches every player that tries to pass him.
We can squabble all we want about the problem description, but that's not the point. What I wrote about the solution is still correct: trying to overcome racial inequality via counter-discrimination or even counter-racism is the wrong approach, it will only poison race relations and politics even further. Ban John from the race, but dont punish people 30 years later because their parents used to be on John's team. Talking about white privilege might play decently well with whites who are indeed privileged, so privileged they can spare some of it. But it's absolutely toxic to non-privileged whites, it causes them to flock to figures like Trump in droves.
Like I said: the Bernie 2016 approach of colorblind investment in all poor communities is the correct path forward - it will automatically reduce racial inequality without pitting races against each other. Move in against explicit discrimination, but do it in targetted fashion instead of 'guilt by association'.
Generally speaking: the main cleavage in American politics should be rich vs poor, not white vs non-white. It really baffles me that even high IQ people like you fail to see how modern identity politics are a deliberate (!!) distraction amped up by the billionaire class via their allies in politics, media, NGOs and academia. It's textbook "divide and conquer", why cant you guys see that?
