frick that noise. I will not be told that I am “actually being a racist without knowing it” just because I don’t text Floyd to some unknown fundraiser and blindly support it. Those on social media are being inundated with this woke bullshite right now, and I’m not even advocating for the police officer!

If you are white, you are racist. Accept that fact and move on with your life. Problem solved.

"racist" is probably too strong a word in most cases but you can absolutely be prejudiced without knowing or understanding that you are, or why it's an issue. There is a difference between ignorance and maliciousness but I imagine it still affects people that have to experience it in its own way

Ironically, that’s the first sign that you are a racist without knowing it.

I’m not sure that race was an issue in this case. I just think it was a bully cop thinking he was king of the world.......

I am not sure if race played a factor either, but even if it was the main reason, it’s not an indictment of all fricking white people. I can’t lead a peaceful life without being a racist by default?

Let's be clear:

The white supremacy pyramid, systemic racism, social justice, rape culture, etc.

These are all fabricated, self-serving variations of actual things - actual racism, actual rape, actual justice

They had to invent these things to win arguments. Because most women aren't raped, because the huge majority of people aren't racist, etc. and because those realities don't serve the political ends of the people who drive these narratives.

Do you have social media? Basically all my liberal friends are posting about how “not being racist” isn’t enough.

Yea, just keeping to yourself isn't enough. If you aren't posting some version of these memes, you're obviously racist.

Left leaning white knights are the most racist people without knowing it

Imagine thinking that black people are so helpless they can’t even get a pictured ID.

Or a degree based on merit.

Or a job based on experience and skill.

They think they need their hand held at all times, like a child.

Ashleigh Shackleford. Here's a lecture she does entitled "All White People are Racist".
LINK to VICE

She has shortened the original title which was "All White People are Racist and Not Human".
