One of the reasons why the MSM beats up racism, identity politics, doom and gloom, and anything divisive, is that they are desperate to attract attention with inflammatory nonsense because they are dying. The MSM is already dead to people under 30: they barely know that it exists. It has been predicted by various commentators that the MSM will go bankrupt and disappear, with social media and the internet in general replacing it entirely. Everyone will able to contribute.

The MSM, just like politicians, can no longer be taken seriously, whether it be left of right.

Why do some people at the mere mention of racism immediately accept it as a proven fact?

Every accusation, presumption, assumption, accusation is treated as an established fact which it is forbidden to question. Waiting on an in-depth report on the accusations isn't necessary. After all, who ever heard of an accusation of racism ever been shown to be false? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussie_Smollett_hate_crime_hoax)

People just fall into line with whatever the MSM tells them to think.

In a world which demands knee-jerk reactions, waiting for all the facts is unnecessary and probably racist.

mhaze,

Talking about racism?

The following article is worth a read:

http://abc.net.au/news/2022-09-18/queen-death-indigenous-australia-colonisation-empire/101445508

I have to confess that watching the indigenous protests on TV
I thought their behaviour was vile. And I was shocked by what
they did. I thought that they could have done things in a
more civilized way. But after reading Stan Grant's article
I realized that I was reacting like a white person and had
not experienced what he had in his lifetime. I did not
understand nor see things from an indigenous point of view.

The article is worth a read and provides a different perspective.

mhaze,

They accept it because that is what fits their agenda, in the same way Albanese believes it is OK for King Charles to make political statements with which he, Albanese, agrees. If the King said that the climate emergency hoax was rubbish, Albanese would tut tut and say the monarch has no business expressing such opinions.

The lefty-West has a self-loathing culture. It takes great delight in white-anting the West. However, if the proportion of misery-gutses to the total of posters on OLO is replicated in the real world, things might turn out OK.

people at the mere mention of racism go into
denial?
Foxy,
Is it really denial or just pointing out the frivolity that is being called racist by racists ?
When I told an indigenous woman that i thought an Australian indigenous celebrity was racist in my opinion she was taken aback & exclaimed "but, he is black ?"
mHaze & ttbn are right on the mark !
Aborigines have been conditioned from childhood to believe only white people can be racist !
This is the legacy of Half-baked halfwit Academia in Australia.

Indyvidual,

Read the link I gave from Stan Grant's perspective.
As white people we have not experienced in most
cases at least - what he has lived through. And
if we had then we could speak on their behalf.
Until then it's best to shut up.
