Today's episode was a thought-provoking discussion on racism in the modern world. We delved into whether it is malicious or if there's more to the story. Let's dive right into it.

In this digital age, it seems like the conversation around racism has become muddled. We see people on social media complaining about trivial things like white women wearing braids, and it makes me wonder if that's what racism is about. I can't help but think about the struggles that our ancestors faced during slavery. Is this what they fought for?

Now, I'm not saying that we should be grateful for white supremacy, but let's be real. We live in a modern society with access to smartphones and other technological advancements. We have opportunities, resources, and the freedom to move around. So, why do we keep talking about racism as if it's still 1865?

I find it absurd when I see people on social media screaming about white supremacy and how evil it is. Still, they post pictures of themselves enjoying their lives in white establishments. It's contradictory and undermines the seriousness of the issue. If a restaurant is racist, why not just go to a different one? There are plenty of welcoming places out there.

I believe that racism isn't always malicious in the modern world. Sometimes, people don't like each other, and that's okay. We can't force everyone to like us. And let's not forget that racism exists in all races, not just between Black and white individuals. It's important to acknowledge that and not turn a blind eye to it.

Instead of constantly focusing on the threat of racism, I think it's time for us to focus on ourselves. We need to be selfish and prioritize our own well-being. That doesn't mean we should ignore the issue, but rather, we should approach it with a balanced perspective. Let's care individually for those who matter to us and not feel obligated to dedicate our lives to fighting for everyone we've never met.

Racism is a complex issue, and it's not going to be solved by constantly re-passing laws or expecting everyone to like each other. We need to change our perception of racism and understand that it's not always a direct threat to our lives. We should save our energy for the battles that truly matter and not let ourselves be consumed by constant outrage.

So, let's focus on ourselves, save energy, and live our lives to the fullest. Racism exists, but it doesn't have to define us. We can rise above it and create a better future for ourselves and future generations.
