We Can’t Have ‘National Dialogues’ If People Get Fired For Talking Honestly

“While we write and print millions of words about race in America, why is it still so hard to have a truly respectful, decent, and humble dialogue about perhaps the most complicated and contentious issue in American life?” asks David French in his Dispatch article “American Racism: We’ve Got So Very Far to Go.” Yet he does not mention in his story of personal change the elephant in the room: the Black Lives Matter movement’s radical cultural hegemony.

Establishment Republicans made the same mistake by ignoring the movement’s radical premise: that at its core, America is rotten and systemically racist, and thus woke Americans must rebuild and reimagine the country from the ground up.
***
Maybe many Americans are willing to have a productive conversation about race. Maybe they want to respectfully question the merits of workplace diversity training programs, for example. But the risk in participating far outweighs any reward.
***
No one outside conservative media can criticize Black Lives Matter without being fired or ostracized, so how can we expect the average American to chime in for a productive dialogue?

Furthermore, American corporations reinforce BLM’s cultural sway, driving conversation in one direction.
***
It’s baffling that any Republican leaders or conservative voices could think it is time to have a chat with Democrats about race relations. That discussion would never include conservatives or anyone else who dissents. Black Lives Matter is not interested in making fact-based arguments. Its activists win arguments through social coercion.

Meanwhile, the most important institutions driving American culture already picked a side. Their leaders kowtowed to the Black Lives Matter movement.

We have reached the point where we cannot have ‘national dialogues’ for the simple fact that any factual civil discussion on the subject would shatter their narrative.

It’s not a dialogue, discussion nor debate...they want thier way with a thin veil of “bipartisanship” or give and take...the reality is miles away

There will always be a divide when one side cant insult the other. Look how men get along we joke and insult each other this makes our differences funny and trivial. Take that away and make one side walk on eggshells and there will be hate.

And notice that the Federalist still doesn't have their comment section back, google threatened to demonetize them if they didn't remove it. So much for dialogue and the open exchange of ideas.

And they are going to keep pushing things further and further. It’s already happening, things that are not racist or hate speech are being interpreted that way. One person takes offense and that is all it takes. This is their power grab. Next start expecting more and more demands.

A "dialogue", a conversation?

This. The only conversation they want is you openly accepting complete and full acceptance of their point of view. Anything else is racist.

We could make it an Amendment to our Constitution...we could put it in something we could call a Bill Of Rights.

but since it "would only apply to government" and not the private sector it would all be just bullshit anyway...right?

Case in point. Shouldn’t nurses advocate for ALL lives? No that gets you fired. And it effectively shuts down dialogue from anyone else.

How many generations will that take?

Right now it would be pretty much impossible to grow a new business - any business at all - if you espouse anything but blind obedience to the liberal cause. Sure, you might get started, but as soon as you need an internet presence, or access to electronic payment services, or any kind of presence in the public square they can crush you with almost no effort. They control all of it. How long do you figure it will take?

"Dialogue" is leftspeak for "do what we tell you."
"Unhelpful," "problematic," or "partisan" is what they call it when anyone tries to speak back to them
