No... the point I was making is that some of the most hate-filled people among us are those who do not understand class conflict, and get caught up in identity politics. They don't know who their real adversaries are.
People who get caught up in identity politics are suckers.

He makes dumbass blanket statements about white people all the time. In my own personal life, I've met far more brazenly, openly racist black people, than white people. His point is stupid, and largely untrue.

not the point of the scene or the movie. watch gene hackman discuss the film he would disagree with you but i guess you know better.
its about racism, violence and blind hatred ingrained in our culture. ... towards black people in case you needed clarification.

No shit... but at the end of that clip he said that his old man was just so full of hate that he didn't realize being poor is what was killing him. His old man didn't actually hate the black man anyway. What he resented was his place in society, and to him, the black man's success was symbolic of that.
My point is that identity politics causes infighting among people who should be comrades. It's true too.

That won't go away, though....much like the planting of a wedge issue. It goes to the heart of tribalism and who is "right" and "wrong". Only be with like minded people, they have your interest and your back.
The election commercials are starting to air, one a still photo of Joe briskly taking the stairs with ease and Trump playing off the criminal charge conspiracy.

Saw a lot of this with my ex, often some variation of "how dare a black woman have the unmitigated gall to be successful in white male dominated field".

Most people have jealous tendencies... keeping up with the Joneses.
Of course there is a racial component but there is also ambition, jealousy, etc. To say that non whites don't have the same thing would be ridiculous, as they are human. It is important to consider the framework of society that makes this less or more relevant, though.

LOL, no this had a pure racial component. I worked for the same company, saw and heard it with my own eyes before we even started dating.

The response was to the topic in general and was not a blanket retort to your specific situation. I wasn't there, why would I pretend to know the extent?

Again, I am referring to humanity, they come in all colors, dude. Not sure how that is offensive.

Wow, just stop now dude, and take your misguided lumps as a lesson.
Your the one with the emoji and the typical reaction of "how dare someone bring up that" insinuation. It's a constant refrain in these situtations and you nailed it.
Further, you armchair psychology of my "projection" based of a response in a thread, just as laughable.

I am actually confused. Did you mean the words you used or not? I can only respond to what you write down, and I cannot infer in a reply you make to me, that it was some sort of off topic generalization or however you worded your supposed non sequitor
