You’re in a conversation and someone asks: “Is America a Racist Country?”
What would you say?
When considering whether America is a racist country, an important question to consider is: “Is there any country without racism?”
It’s like asking, is your best friend a lying person? Everyone lies, but is lying the sin that predominantly defines us?
The next time you’re talking about systemic racism and someone says America is a Racist Country, remember these 4 things:
First, America is consistently ranked as one of the most tolerant countries.
Second, America’s attitude toward “race” has improved dramatically.
Third, America’s racism industry profits from perpetual victimhood.
Fourth, America shines when we act as one human race.
