Honestly, the whole race thing, is nothing but a proxy for other issues. And it has very little to do with actual far-left or far-right ideology, it is just a means to an end. This forum is constituted mostly of a bunch of ignorant partisans, who don't honestly have a real political ideology. They just want to point their finger at the "other team", and blame them for everything.
If you mention the word Republican favorably, all the Democrats will line up to criticize whatever you say, without much thought, and by simply repeating talking-points that they don't actually understand. And the Republicans do exactly the same thing in reverse.
Also, whatever happens with the economy, the Democrats take credit if it is good news, and blame the Republicans if it is bad news. And the Republicans take credit if it is good news, and blame Democrats if it is bad news.
The vast majority of the people in this forum aren't here to have a rational discussion. They are here to play politics, and to convince other people to think like they do. And they don't actually care about being honest, or consistent. They just want what they want.
The reason the far-right seems so critical of "blacks" for instance. Is because 96% of blacks vote Democrat. And as the demographics of this country become "less-white", you are seeing a shift to the "political left". Thus to whatever extent that the political right appears racist, it is nothing more than a protection mechanism for people who believe that the cultural shift that will result, will make us less-free, and less-safe(and just generally worse).
And the far-left, swoops in to defend blacks, not because they have some true interest in the well-being of blacks. But rather, because blacks are useful as a tool to expand their influence. Real liberals are overwhelming white and middle-class. In a different world, they would be the enemy of blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, etc. And they would see these people as hopelessly religious, conservative, homophobic, among other things. They are nothing but a convenient ally, to form the coalition they need to gain a majority of the vote. And thus, to allow them to acquire and maintain political power.
Be careful about looking at what seems to be "on the surface", without looking to see what actually is underneath.
Let me say, I would ordinarily be classified as the "far-right". But Marx's theory of history is almost entirely true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%2...ory_of_history
But as I always say, it is far easier to make observations, than to give solutions or make predictions. Marx's solutions are crap, and his predictions are questionable at best(they might ultimately turn out to be true, but the specific path he predicted didn't happen).
The truth is, the world isn't run on ideology, or freedom, or democracy, or righteousness, or anything else. Everything is about power. And the entire world is centralizing, and has been centralizing since at least Charlemagne. The real power brokers, are the multinational corporations, and the international bankers. What seem to be the "real issues", are nothing but proxy battles between economic interests.
Not only are governments centralizing power, but the entire world political system is centralizing power. All the world's economies are "integrating", because capitalism is by its nature "international". The goal is to create an entirely global economy, which will necessitate international organizations to regulate and police this global economy, with a world's policeman to enforce the "international rules/norms". But obviously, such a system would violate any sense of national sovereignty.
Thus, the final goal cannot be achieved until you destroy national borders. Which also requires the destruction of religion, the destruction of culture, and a complete dependency of the people on their governments(so they won't rebel, and will do as the state tells them).
Marx was correct. Capitalism and democracy will lead to international socialism. What he doesn't explain, is that socialism is garbage, and our leaders will always be scumbags. Only naive children would think otherwise.
The political right in this country, are people pushing the American Empire(IE American Imperialism, economic globalism). And the political left in this country, are people pushing socialism(state-dependency, secularism, cultural destruction). Put them together, and the future sucks.
Sometimes when I talk about these things, it practically brings a tear to my eye. But there doesn't seem to be a way to get off this train. I hate you all.

), mix students of all skill/ability levels in the same classrooms, and cater to the lowest performers to meet NCLB requirements. That stalls the academic progress of average and above students, and PISA, etc., test scores bear the sorry evidence of the damage that has done.
