You can be colorblind all day long and thrice on Sunday- but there ARE racial differences. I tend to think it's a cultural thing moreso than due to skintone, but whatever the cause, there ARE differences.
Colorblind is far more insulting than perhaps even racism, IMO. The person is the person, outside, inside, experiences, etc. To not acknowledge all of who they are is to not honor who they are and is disrespectful. That’s how I feel about others and how they view me. That’s is how view others. No colorblind or any personal attribute blind.
Differences are real and natural. The flocking principle, I believe, is what underpins your group preference point.
Not too deep down I strongly believe real racism exists and has a role in what I have observed. Group preferences and other derivatives of these things are in play too.
Find the negative energy about the discussion…too often, inevitable. Just is I guess.

Honest question - can you objectively criticize blacks or the black urban culture? Can you even answer that question honestly and objectively? Based on all your previous comments I don’t think you can. Which leads to asking have you stated your race and politics? Yes they matter.
Yes. White male, registered independent. Grew up in LA and graduated from a HS with Rebel nickname after getting jumped by group of feral black teens. Some specific low end, unparented, animal-like teens. Broken eye socket aside, I saw context in these animals and did not condemn all people that looked like them. I’m no saint. Not holier than thou. Just discerning. Try to be, that is.
Back to pernt of post, in these cases…welcome your thoughts.

You see racism and homophobia in everything because your bias causes you to look for white racism and homophobia in everything. Your evidence will always be biased and anecdotal, but you will always feel superior by promoting your evidence as factual allowing you to promote your conclusions based on that evidence as reasonable and objective. They are not.
Context matters! These specific scenarios are the focus. The observation made was from what I am seeing in these specific patterns, not the other way around (ie, leading with bias and agenda, imparting my own limited patterned thinking that is tethered by biases). Not predominantly, that is, as we are all bound by our DNA and experiences, manifesting biases.
Discerning a multitude of different perspectives is how I try to roll. I think you bring up homophobia via referring to S Lebeouf post over weekend? Cant ignore the irony.
Group of posters took it at face value that homo groped hetero. No one on this board knows all the facts, including you and I. Yet, the string filled up fast with same bias that you point out. Inviting different perspectives was objective. Something I suspect (hope) we agree on.
Hear you.

Which is my point... you read "Group Preference" and immediately feel it's about race. In reality, we self segregate by group preference all day every day in a thousand little ways.
Context matters. Always. This post is about racism. You introduced “group preferences” in said context. Untrap me, please.
See post I just made above. I will pay you $10,500 (upped price cause you seem to be solid poster) if you ever meet / know me and make this conclusion in real life. I’m sincerely seeing this outcome from these specific experiences. In these cases (context matters again), something smells.
Not naive nor do I carry race agenda. Far from it. My lens is life is far too short to be so divided. Worked IOC for decades and traveled all corners of world. Conclusion: people are far more similar than dissimilar, no matter the demarcation lines (ie, group definitions, Jeep owners included).

OR, and let me challenge you to really open your mind here, how much of it is that fact that the black crowd has made the experience for the white crowd less enjoyable via a more robust and expressive behavior? Not racism!
I’ve been to the Metairie restaurant approximately 20-times (sincerely) and the BR restaurant a handful of times to be honest. Two things are consistent. The race mix observation and solid experiences. Sincerely. Got me to thinking something else is in play. Two-way racism in play? Maybe? That did not jump out. But who knows?

I'm sure this is inconceivable based on your inability to see the world in terms of anything besides race.

I wish the world were far more together. Life is short. In my life experience and world travels, have found people are far more similar than dissimilar. Far more! Yet, this observation grabbed me and ignited some curiosity. Agenda people are for a post of another day. This is sincere question, distasteful as it may be. Not naive, this ain’t all on whitey. But I do dare to ask in theses two cases.

What's wrong with group preference? Seriously?
I’m no lexicon extraordinaire. Am curious. Do you mean Grouped by race?
As in, No matter the individual person. Does matter the person’s race for said group. Reduced to color of skin. That drives your thinking / behavior.
My limited lexicon says you are in the zone with this undertone of group preference.
Challenge me. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you mean something different.

How deep can racism go in a person?

RELIGION
Have family (uncle/aunt/cousins) who are devout in their religion who are also devout in the racist arts. Good people but grew up in a time and place that put this ‘hatred’ deep in them. Maybe hatred is too strong. Definitely something that should not reconcile with their religious beliefs but has been reconciled. In their case, racism is pretty deep…in range of religious beliefs. So much for all going to same heaven I suppose
SPORTS
Have other people in my life who are self proclaimed racists, less devout in religion, and love sports. They will occasionally demonstrated what they self proclaim yet, while watching or attending a sporting event, it’s as if racism does not exist. In this case, their team loyalty and competitiveness seems to be stronger than their racism.
FOOD
Have recently gone to two favorite and popular restaurants, one in Baton Rouge and other in Metairie. Have been going to both for over 30-years. Have noticed, of recent, a very large mix of black people eating in these restaurants, upwards of 75% of tables most of the time. This was not always the case. Got me to thinking, how much of this shift is due to racist whites electing not to go to these 2 restaurants. Got strong sense that this is the case. These are really good restaurants that most people like. Yet this race mix shift happened. The unspoken seems to be screaming will give up great food but not give up racism.
CONCLUSION
Competitiveness > Racism > Religion > Food
This is social science doing work! Kidding. Meaningful or meaningless, these are my (admittedly limited) but evident observations over time.
One God, love of football and food…should be union of people. But I am naive that way.

Crude price (futures) takes a while, contractually and physically, to get to the pump. Weeks!
Up or down
Yet, retail fuel prices reflect up like a rocket and down like a parachute. Retail fuel margins will be sweet for a while. Sorry, Consumer.
"I did that" stickers and particular Presidents no matter.
Geopolitics matters. The world is bigger than a US President.

Then you have never worked for a company that forced you to take vaccinations, raped your benefits, changed every promise that they made when they hired you, promotes diversity over performance, and does not care about safety until there is an audit. I will do just enough to stay employed. Might even start stealing company property come to think of it.
I will never understand this mindset, also.
You have choices. Why choose misery?
You choose to work there. You choose to just get by. Seems like misery.
You could choose to not work there. Do something different somewhere else. Find your purpose, place and start making a difference.
Trading time for money (only) is quick path to shrivel the soul / purpose like a raisin. Short life. Very. Max you imprint on it! Don’t let yourself get trapped.
Locus of control…yours. Take it! Lead yourself to where you want to be.
Do it.
Victim mindset is weak.

Mom & Dad were present in kids’ lives. Really there, in the moment, with and for the family. I had Mom who did not work.
If reduce value to me / siblings, and subsequently to our kids / their grandkids in terms of their presence also in their lives, family stability, great memories, etc…
$100 million
This is the present value for your future generations in your family line of family bond, real presence and putting one another as priority in life.
Maybe more.
