1. There are many areas this ignorance invades the American Society

Even within commentary, discuss subjects they either avoid, care nothing about learning about which may well relate to themselves, and bring up and discuss the things some have spent their lives trying to ignore and disregard. They attack with furious intent.

Talk about aspects of subject matter they have skirted over and de-emphasized to the point of no elaboration.. they get angry and claim someone is preaching to them. Many don't even grasp these are elements of conduct straight out the 100's of years of American bias and bigotry and directly from the edicts of Jim Crow's saturated grooming in and across American white societies. To them, its common because they grew up within the framework of those cultural, social and mentality groomed in concepts which built the framework of their ideals about life, society and people.

We see it continually within action and words; as they say things, and when called on it, "claim it is not what they meant", when in fact it is what they meant, they just did not mean for it to be heard beyond their inner circles who thinks in such terms with common groomed in ideals and beliefs. So, the apologies often are 'hollow" and meant only to save ones, job, income, or public position which affords them economics and title status labeling benefits.
As its said- "its fully how what's in your heart blurts out of your mouth".... we see it continually... and likely will see more and more, because within this frame work of "group ideals"... they were not groomed to "self review" and certainly not at the urging of minorities or any other person who does not have white skin and position of title or control over tier means of income.

It's not an oddity that post about Race as scantily read and quickly buried. It's about the same as during the era of frequent lynching, they buried that as quick as they could, to the ones who saw racist vile mis-treatments in the streets, the aim was to shield their kids eyes, and later ensure they believe the minority person did something to deserve it. Very Very Rarely were kids taught to see the malice and vile of white peoples actions upon and against black people as being the raw acts of savagery in which it was.
White Juries of the past were even driven by the same savagery, as they identified with the savagery they were to judge and deemed it acceptable and condoned it with and by their vote. They would, go so far as to 'attack" any white person who dissented with their acts and views that endorsed such savagery against and upon minorities.

Then it brings one to truly wonder and inquire, as to "what box" does "Equality fit within"... and then ask, "why is it in a box in the first place". Then one can see the differences in those who claim they support it. As it will be seen, some will support it, as long as it remains in the box they place it... but back down when it is to be supported "full circle" in all things and all places, by all means.

America has a great deal of work, but it first has the willingness of the American people to do the work.......... "it's an Amazing Challenge within our times"
