| RCTjunkie said: Precisely what I want. I'm asking because it seems like there's a lot of backlash (at least at my school) when white people try to enter the conversation and "don't say the right things." Instead of discussion and correction, there's just more tension and yelling of how terrible and ignorant white people are. It's frusterating and divisive, at least to me. How do your conversations about race relations usually end up? I'm curious. |
Like I said, you'll find no actual dialogue at a modern university because universities are - contrary to their reputations - no longer places for the free exchange of ideas. They are basically purveyors of the secular religion of victimhood at this point, and blasphemy dissent is frowned upon. The typical campus environment strongly encourages students to be as obnoxiously aggrieved as possible about their race, gender, sexual orientation, and what have you. The angrier you appear, the more credibility you're given.
If you want an actual conversation about thorny issues like race, look for it outside of that poisonous echo chamber. Preferably with people who actually have to work for a living and don't piss and moan about how bad off they are despite the fact that they're able to spend several years at what amounts to a live-in social club.
