I see what you are saying.
You say life is so much better now than it was 100s, 1000s years ago. If I may ask, how did it get better?
I could hazard the guess that life was more brutal and got better because people identified problems and fixed them e.g. by technological innovation, by coming up with institutions such as the justice system, or the energy sector, or government etc... There was formalised education, there was higher education, people developed art, stories and philosophies to teach morality, ethics etc.
All the above involved people not necessarily accepting things as they were (e.g. because of Karma) but people pushing to change and improve things.
As a result, as you say, we live in a better world.
So I don't think we can use the argument that certain things can't be changed because of Karma and life lessons to say people should attempt to write wrongs that may exist due to identity stuff.
I think you'd want to use a different argument e.g. the movements are disingenuous, co-opted by pathologicals, there isn't a problem to fix etc etc
Ultimately, every single day, most people get up and slog through their day as they want to improve something be it their life. So improvement is built into the human way of life in 3D. Some say, civilisation is inevitable.
FYI.
From my perspective the improvements come from the top down, from soul progress to social progress. Karma is the river of cause/effect that we swim in and social changes has to occur first from our soulfulness before it can change our karmic existence. Any attempt to change from the bottom up will be swept away by the unmitigated karma.I see what you are saying.

The racist people I knew also lived poorly at best and it was easier to blame others who looked or lived differently than to stop and try another way. If you combine the programming with the predisposed victimhood inner working of some people then it seems to me that's a recipe for an explosive situation. It's just a matter of time before the agent provocateurs set the match to the right powder kegs at this point. OSIT.
Greetings in Peace.....I have read most of the comments in tis thread and tried to restrain from posting "noise". As a person with dark skin living in this 3rd density plane, the media has done a good job of co-opting & reducing the plight and journey of black people to memes & misinformation. Unless you have to wear black/brown skin on a 24 hour basis, one can only have empathy. I cannot hide my skin color therefore subjecting me to presumptions and attitudes that subject me to be followed around in stores, accused of being rude do to eye contact, etc. I know that not all Caucasians are racist, however, this greedy capitalistic system has victimized the human race. I don't need to cast blame as history speaks for itself. Will the founding fathers' mindset of this nation restore the stolen lands and people to its/their rightful place?
I'm giving Thanks for the technology so these events can be seen instead of just heard or speculated about. This present system of "democracy" has been built on a foundation of unimaginable injustices. Therefore my only response is, "it's a good thing most black people are only seeking justice and not revenge." That;s not to say we don;t have issues & challenges that we must fix. Research Gary Webb, his story is just the tip of the iceberg we as humanity face.
Yes.....That's why I said this complex challenge has been co-opted & hijacked.....I am not here to convince or debate the plight of black people. I was speaking from my experiences and of those I know. I grew up in a 90% community of black people who fought & won their liberation only to be sold & recolonized by another "super power" without consent. The 1st time I was called a n*gger by an adult and was treated unequally was when we relocated to West Virginia for our mother to pursue her doctorate. Before then, I never knew of any racial tension or inequality.
Black people came to the US under various circumstances. Some of us were before colonization & forcibly enslaved and moved to various parts of this hemisphere. The 1st people that were enslaved by Columbus was on the island of Hytai which today is called Hispanola to the slave markets of Spain. So you have blacks from various locations & circumstances combined into one narrative that suits the power structure. My people were never enslaved, but displaced. In school we were taught that all black people came over as slaves/enslaved people from Africa. Not true. I had the fortunate to have grown up & raised by elders and our history was taught to us outside school. I also lived in Virginia, New Jersey, Florida & Massachusetts and had some real messed up situations in those places.

I believe Germany had a colonial history albeit not one that could rival Britain and France.
I think it's first concentration camp was in Namibia. (...)
Not disputing what you posted, just stating it's factually incorrect to state Germany didn't have a history around racism or whatever that didn't involve the Nazis.
The demonstrators in Germany have no relation or a social memory complex on the subject of slavery and racism towards blacks. (..) It is about the blind defense of marginalized groups, which are victimized without thinking and must be protected from the strong offender. There are no perpetrators in Germany because we knew neither a racist problem nor slavery. But the question of guilt is repeated. The word Nazi was enough to turn all of Germany into a silent, guilty society. No one was able to differentiate by looking at the past and the present separately. But Nazi Germany existed and therefore it was a tangible reality for Germans. Only in recent years have people stood up and dared to move out of this oppression.(..)
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere but it's Tucker Carlson's update on Seattle and the new nation of CHAZ. One of the funniest and insightful monologues I've probably ever seen on mainstream media. Well worth the watch.
You are right about Namibia and all. But isn't it interesting, that Namibia kept almost all german Street signs...? And not only that: They like the Germans! Why? Because they brought a lot of infrastructure to the country (yes, and so did the british and the french et al aswell), which are still in use today. So for me that doesn't seem to be a sign of much unforgivable cruelty there... of course every cruelty is one too much, but I think you know what I mean?I believe Germany had a colonial history albeit not one that could rival Britain and France.

Session 4 July 2009
...
A: It's creepy for the USA in any event. 5D city on a hill!
...
Q: (laughter) (L) Okay. What do we have in the way of questions? (J) What does "5D city on a hill" mean?
A: The metaphor of the fundies with a twist of truth.
Q: (J) City on a hill - is that in the bible or something? (Allen) Yeah. Old Testament. (Ark) Does it mean like capitol? (L) Yeah. (J) It was prefaced by, "It's creepy for the USA in any event." So maybe that means a city on a hill in the USA. (L) Well, the USA has always considered itself the new city on a hill. (Allen) But 5D city on a hill, does that mean the USA is headed for destruction?
A: More than likely.
This Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone reminded me the session that included the "5D city on a hill".
This objective truth I guess makes sense, but others sadly haven't received the memo of this truth. They have a different memo, a different objective truth.
I worry, I worry a bit too much about the divide of these 2 groups of people with their different objective truths.
They are so against each other that it gives me anxiety. I try and sort of like build a bridge between the two, but this is a lot of work.
