I empathise with most of this and thank you for bothering to respond without resorting to 4chan energy.

The problem that remains unresolved is the refusal of some people to acknowledge that, like in science, observation is not without cost. What ends up happening is the observation of these trends then causes casualties of blame - in your example we could say the huge population of white people who dont fundamentally see black people in any light other than equal. An insult based on a black billionaire being a greedy billionaire gets called racially charged, when actually, it’s entirely class based. This reliably means that (for example) white working class boys/girls are left to rot.

Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad, to the extent now that its difficult to untangle.

Prejudice being exclusively a domain of America is a crazy hot take

  America has prejudicial issues at astonishing levels compared to the rest of the developed world. Obviously its an absurd statement to say there is no predujude abroad in the western world, but the US has the controlling stake in it, and happens to be an infectious cultural juggernaut.

    I wonder if there was historical precedent that could explain this, and explain the state of the modern world?

Have you forgotten who colonised most of the world, including America?

This is what happens when you view the world through liberal idealism instead of doing any material analysis whatsoever

Systems aren’t real, they’re just imaginary, they can’t hurt you, there’s no such thing as systemic oppression just a few bad apples

Lmfao shut up

You are correct, but you can’t discuss on a rational level with people from hexbear, just give up.
