You. Are. Racist. You don't even know it. And you can't help it.

You know, maybe the most biased people are the ones who have a never-ending agenda of portraying white people as racist, while claiming that "people of color" are all angelic beings who do nothing but send out waves of liquid love to their fellow human beings.


Then again, in a country whose very own president has alluded to "a world in need, run by white folks' greed," what else would one expect?

Reading Twitter about all of the protests, the white guilt liberals are thoroughly relishing the recognition of White Privilege.

Whose survival do you mean, and why is racism a key to it?

Black people are far more violent, white people are more passive. Thus it's advantageous for white people to develop natural awareness

I'm the most biased person in the world. I learned this during my 3 years of dating between marriages. I would not date women with the following characteristics:

tattoos
smokers
stupid
fat
red hair

Racially, I never dated a black or an Hispanic but I did date a Chinese girl for 2 months.

By "natural awareness" you mean racism.

Okay, whatever you say man. You are racist as frick and completely embracing it. At least you're honest about it.

This kind of argument reminds me of climate change. It was once targeted to undeniable polluters, but they needed a way to market it as something everyone does, so we'd all have to participate in the "solution." Hence, carbon.

This is basically the same thing. It doesn't matter how you behave, or don't behave. You're racist no matter what you do, so you have no choice but to get on board with the "solution," which coincidentally, is the same solution as climate change.

I don't think racism is key, I think holding certain biases and stereotypes certainly are key.
