Yeah, to me I think that Obama was a marker for, you know he certainly marks the time that race relations started to plummet. But I think that was almost entirely because of the way the news handled it. That's my opinion. Because you know I remember going through that period and thinking oh my God it's just every day something that's vaguely racially related or race scare or Obama's going to take away whatever white people like.

Yeah, to me when I tell you that the media assigns our opinions you don't think I only mean liberals, right? Everybody's opinion is assigned. Not all of us. You know I'm even saying it and I know that my opinions are probably coming from the media. I mean I try as hard as I can to find some space between the media narratives and what I think. But have you noticed how often I end up snapping into the narrative like everybody else? It's almost irresistible to get pulled into one of the binaries. So I'm sure it's happening to me. I'd be surprised if it's not happening to all of you. But keep that in mind that you may be getting your opinions more from the media than you think. Because that's how it works.

But let's talk about the race absurdity. So we've clearly gotten to the point of race relations absurdity because the race grifters have been running the show for a while. The race grifters are anybody who makes money complaining about race basically. And here's the newest one. CNN has an article about digital blackface. So there's a complaint that white people have been using memes in which a black American is saying something that's witty or funny or something and it fits the story. So a bunch of white people keep using these memes of black people. Now white people also use memes of white people, I don't know if you knew that. But memes actually have lots of different representation. But apparently if you're a white person and you use one that has a black person in it, and I'm not saying these are insulting, they just are memes. Yeah, memes always make people look silly but it's not about race.

And here, let me explain why this is digital blackface according to a CNN opinion piece. Digital blackface involves white people play acting and being black. What if you send a meme around? Are you play acting and being black? I was not aware of that rule. I thought that a meme that featured a black American was like every other meme. It was just a meme. That's what I thought. I didn't realize that I was play acting being black when I did it.

This is from some cultural critic and the cultural critic says the internet thrives on white
