The Racism Game

These days racism is so popular, it can exist without even any people of color around! This strange circumstance is best illustrated by an exchange I saw on the liberal television news station known as CNN earlier today. Under discussion was the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the latest real life horror story to grab the attention of Americans by the throat and give them something to talk about besides their own boring lives. 

A black male journalist and a white female journalist were the hosts for this particular news hour. The topic was the Rittenhouse trial. The black journalist looked right into the camera and with a totally straight face said that "the trial has a racial undertone." 

So, despite Rittenhouse being white and the three victims being white and the jury of 11 white people and one person of color, the journalist pushed the racial angle as far as he could. He said, "If Rittenhouse had been a young black man running around with a rifle, you could imagine how differently people would feel about it."

So now the brilliant minds over at CNN are taking a boring white crime and re-imagining it as having been committed by a black person, then discussing how a black perp would be judged much more harshly in the press and by most people, especially those mean old Trumpies. 

This got me wondering how Christmas would be celebrated if Santa were black. Probably much less of a big deal. And what if Oprah were white? Would she still be as rich, or maybe even richer? Would Morgan Freeman get cast in so many movies if he were white? Not likely. You can go on and on. In fact, the Racism Game is perfect for Family Game Night -- try it the next time you're in a group and run out of conversation. You don't even need a game board or dice or game pieces. Not even any race cards! It's totally free; all you need is a good imagination and a low I.Q.
