5 Arguments Against ‘America Is a Racist Country’
Dennis Prager, American Greatness, July 15, 2020
{snip} America is, in fact, the least racist multiracial, multiethnic country in world history.

No. 1: If there is so much racism in America, why are there so many false claims of racism and outright race hoaxes?
{snip}
No. 2: The constant references to slavery.
If there were a great deal of racism in America today, there would be no reason to constantly invoke slavery and the Confederacy. The very fact that the New York Times, the leader in racist dishonesty, felt it necessary to launch its “1619 Project,” which seeks to replace 1776 as the founding of America with 1619, when the first African slaves arrived in America, is a perfect illustration of the point. The fact that “The 1619 Project” was labeled false by the leading American historians of that era (all of whom are liberals and at least one of whom led a campaign to impeach President Donald Trump) adds fuel to the argument.
Even regarding the past, the promoters of the “America is racist” libel need to lie to paint America as bad as possible.
No. 3: The reliance on lies.
{snip}
Two of the biggest lies are that preserving slavery was the real cause of the American Revolution and that slavery is what made America rich.

No. 4: The large African immigration to the United States.
Nearly 2 million black Africans and more than 1 million blacks from the Caribbean have emigrated to the United States in just the last 20 years. Why would so many blacks voluntarily move to a country that is “systemically racist,” a country, according to the promoters of the “America is racist” libel, in which every single white person is a racist? {snip}
No. 5: The preoccupation with “microaggressions.”
According to the University of California’s list of racist “microaggressions,” saying, “There is only one race, the human race,” is a “racist microaggression.” This is, of course, Orwellian doublespeak. Anyone who believes there is only one race is not, by definition, a racist. If everyone in the past had believed there was one race, the human race, there would never have been racism, let alone a slave trade based on racism.
The very fact that the left came up with the intellectual farce known as “microaggressions,” like the race hoaxes, proves how little racism there is in America—because the entire thesis is based on the fact that there are so few real, or “macro,” aggressions.
