Yea, structural racism doesn’t exist

I put "act white" in quotes because it is the pejorative trope used by racist blacks or by black scholars who create theories such as Critical Race Theory to denigrate blacks who do the things that make it possible or make it easier to succeed in our American experiment. You know, those things that white folks always say you need to do--nuclear family, work ethic, good education, personal responsibility, and so forth. It is what's required for white folks to make their "privilege" work for them. So if you want some of that white privilege, "act white."

BTW, your slogan about privilege and equality doesn't quite hit the mark for CRTers. They're not so much about blacks achieving equality. They pretty much agree that legal equality has been achieved. But what has not occurred is equity. They're more about equity than equality. “Equity”, “social justice,” “diversity” and “inclusion.”

I didn't say that so-called "acting white" was "all" that was needed for black folks to succeed. I did mention that they, we, all need to be free to "act white" as it were. And that the role of government is to protect that freedom. The American experiment is about individual freedom and responsibility. The more we stray away from that and drift into needs for government enforced personal, societal, and racial equity, the more we become the dictatorship that you fear Trump would turn us into.

And yeah, if our Republic is structured in such a way as to require those personal values noted above characterized as "acting white" in order to succeed, and such "acting white" is racism, then, yeah, we have structural racism. And, yeah, there also exists a structural racism in black culture, or Asian culture. Guess it depends on which culture you wish to reside in--and on the law protecting your freedom to do so.

I know, just think how unfortunate we all are to not have the advantage of being born black.

how come liberals flood their neighborhoods with abortion clinics, if they love blacks so much?

“we like blacks, as long as there aren’t too many, as long as they vote for us, and as long as they all
stay poor, not in line with me for the ferry to Nantucket”.

So who are you quoting there?
I thought the white wing quote was “we like blacks, as long as they behave, as long as they can’t vote, as long as they don’t complain that we get all the fruits of their labor and how dare one get elected President and vacation on the Vinyard”
