It’s a linguistic trick.

They’re trading off of Jim Crow and the civil rights movement, and saying, we’re just like them.

Do ya'll remember when the Deluxe box of Crayola Crayons contained 'Flesh'?
It was for coloring white people in your book. I'd describe it as 'putty'. Kinda like the color that all desk top computers used to come in.

Color should never matter. Every woman should be judged fairly on her cooking and clothes washing prowess.

I’m not a woman but I’m brown right now. January 15th I will be pretty white though. People change you know!


THE definition of white privilege. I am so immune to racism that I can even, on purpose, change my skin color to a shade that cripples most people societally for a lifetime, and suffer no ill societal effects from it, myself...in fact, all my white friends even celebrate my new toy of a skin color!!!
