Idpol musings on race

One of the most frustrating aspects of modern internet society is the complete lack of nuance in favor of black and white thinking (whoever coined this term was a prophet). We're all guilty of it, even me.

I saw someone here make fun of the idea that slaves built the country because black people are currently acting r-slurred. Like they didn't have a part in building or it's all their fault they're r-slurred. A perfect example of a lack of critical thinking.

It can be true that black slaves helped build this country, while also being true that current black culture is violent and destructive, while also being true that mayos helped build that destructive culture, while also being true that black people have a responsibility to fix the rot in their culture that mayos have wrought.

It's not fair but as Immortal Technique so eloquently said, "See things how they are, and not how you'd like em to be."

If you steal my bike, I'll shoot you. Later I'll think about all the ways that society drove you to steal my bike, while I grapple with the PSTD of killing someone, but at the end of the day you're still dead. Don't steal my bike lol.

The very worst part of all of this is that I have more in common with the dude that stole my bike than with the elites that drove him to do it, but that doesn't change my reaction. Why should I react with lethal force to the symptom, but not the cause? Shouldn't I be shooting the CEO of Warner Brothers, or whatever international conglomerate that owns the record label that cynically pushed gangster rap for profit, for glorifying the culture that made bike stealing cool? Or the people that pushed redlining? There's a lot of blame to go around.

Why not all of them? That's the question. The answer seems to be, "society would be really mad because while we all know that the CEOs are just as guilty, it's not polite to murder people for second order effects."

Hopefully this makes people argue in the comments because that's what we're here for. Discuss.
