Another side effect of placing inordinate blame on “systemic racism,” and essentially blaming another race for all (or even most) of one’s problems, is the fact that such an emphasis and assignment, is not conducive to feelings of love and fellowship and brotherhood and sisterhood. Rather, such a belief would more likely engender feelings of animosity, antipathy, and even naked hatred—which we are really starting to see on display with the recent outbreak of mass demonstrations and violence in response to police shootings. Can Creator comment?

It is a necessary part of growth and learning to put oneself in harm’s way, so to speak, by making desires and needs known and taking the steps to learn about and experience what one needs to as a part of life. Most people will benefit from being part of a family unit and creating an extension of their own, to find a life partner and make children and give them loving support along the way to develop their capabilities. With life having its difficulties, anything that puts people in competition with one another can be highly destructive and when this is tied to perceived racial preferences and mistrust and dislike of one racial group’s members by another, this is a prescription for having a confrontation, at a minimum, and an ongoing contest or even war of sorts on another. This is the danger of the idea of racial differences even mattering. The reason such notions are so damaging is they are unnatural, and when this is promoted to explain people’s life circumstances it can indeed be hurtful to consider the possibility of being looked down on, and the idea people are being actively sidelined and harmed by not truly being accepted as equals will cause lasting damage to human relationships and potential acceptance by members of a particular race that has become a perceived target of discrimination. There may in fact be no feasible way to return to higher ground—once such ideas get going and become embraced by enough people, they will persist within the culture and be handed down from one generation to the next. This has kept some racism going heretofore as a constant presence among a minority of the population. The fact that it is perceived to be widespread and a problem almost universally experienced is an exaggeration and is based on a kind of racial precedence in its own right. Instilling such ideas and beliefs is part of the process of creating racial tension to begin with. This must be worked at because it is so unnatural and that is what puts the lie to the idea of systemic racism as a broad and meaningful explanation for general unhappiness and assumptions it is due to racial discrimination. These problems do not appear in a vacuum, they are created through a careful orchestration of circumstances and life experiences where there will be discomfort, disappointment, failings on display, and these will then be blamed on racial issues and this will have consequences in influencing behavior and creating many areas of conflict to worsen things.
