Racism on the Rise

Americans were told that electing Barack Hussein in 2008 would provide "Absolution" for America's "Original Sin" of slavery. We were told Obama would usher in a post-racial age, and the country would be united in racial harmony as never before. We were told to believe that such an exorcism was necessary, even though most of us didn't know why; we were not racists, we did not know why we needed to atone for "sins" we didn't commit.

You seem to be mis-remembering. It was the right that tried to use the fact of Obama's election to demonstrate that racism is no longer a problem. That then tied into their general inclination to claim that anything allegedly motivated by racism was not racism. That also ties in with their prediliction to blow on a dog whistle, and then when people respond as intended, to claim that that person has "played the race card."

Racism on the Rise​

It’s obvious that in a post-Obama America the anti-white zeitgeist is out of Pandora’s box. Whether it was always lurking beneath the language of multiculturalism and diversity is for historians to figure out. What’s obvious is that when mainstream media personalities like Don Lemon or New York Times employees like Sarah Jeong freely spew textbook anti-white racism the world takes notice, the Overton window shifts and the temperature rises in the frog-pot. Over in Canada, in Europe and Australia whites are under attack. Due to unprecedented immigration and fatalist progressive experiments, there is no country where anti-white cultural currents are... According to the implicit demands of the experiment, whites and by extension what could be perceived as "white culture" was selected for strategic downsizing.... It's unsurprising that when whites were encouraged to jettison the exigencies of tradition in favor of debasing themselves, that we ended-up with an entire class of people now lost in the wilderness without past or future....So where have three decades of feverish placation and encouraging our sons and daughters to take a backseat landed us? Statue toppling, knock out games, self-self-segregated graduations, implicit this, privilege that, people being fired for thought-crimes, higher taxes on struggling families to subsidized race-based transfers, racialized comic book warriors, real historical heroes defaced with graffiti, suppressed speech, our national anthem undermined, and an endless torrent of millions of new immigrants adding more complexity to a difficult situation. Americans of all colors report race relations as having been worse over the last 10 years than decades prior.
The main reason Trump is popular is not because he "hates brown people" like the Left hopes or even because he's some free market bulwark like Reagan. Trump sees what awaits our posterity if society does not change course. Why don't you?

The entire ruse was absurd. There are no remaining slaves or slave owners in the United States of America; there have been none for many decades. The voters were propagandized by the MSM and the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSAP, coming to believe that people who had nothing to do with slavery owed a massive emotional and financial debt to people who had never been slaves, and that voting for Barry was the way to settle the scores.
Self-Respect or “Esteem” comes from within (and reflects the moral values a person puts into practice in his/her life)
it cannot be conferred from outside, and most assuredly not by government edict

Well said.

I may add the racism candle burns at both ends. People of color can be racists as well.
