When I went to basic training, I met black people for the first time. Overall, I felt neutral about them, and a few I was actually pretty fond of. However, one thing I noticed, was that race and their blackness seemed to be forever on their minds. Whether the comments were negative (white people are ugly) or positive (we all bleed red), it seemed like race always had to be brought up.
I see that is still the same today. On Twitter, there are a number of black conservatives (whom liberals would consider Uncle Tom's) seem to make a daily post like "I love my white brothers" which never fails to get 10,000 likes from white followers. If you think about the well known conservative black icons (Candace Owens, Larry Elder), blackness is always always the common topic. Every topic is black black black black black black black black black.
And those are the conservatives! Now think about the content of black comedians, politicians, actors, athletes, etc. black, black, black, black black black.
Am I wrong here or has anyone else ever noticed this? If so, has it always been this way? Your thoughts?

People tend to go with whatever gives them an advantage or social and political status. There are no laws and policies giving white people an advantage; there are laws and policies giving black people an advantage. The cultural marxist argument is since our Constitution is based on white ethos, white people have a natural advantage (white privilege), therefore our legal system, our societal constructs, must be adapted for non-white peoples (identity politics).
