White people who really aren't doing anything other than being nice people are racist.

So you can change then definition of “racist” so that anyone not on “your side” is racist. This is the first time I’ve actually seen a major news outlet give a voice to someone who admits that’s what they’re doing. We’ve recognized that’s what they’re doing for a long time, but they’ve gotten so brazen as to actually admit it themselves.

I would love to work on solutions to race issues.

In order to do so, I have to be invited into the conversation.

Unfortunately, my free speech has been taken and I have been specifically dismissed from the conversation.

So, since that is way you want it, I'm going back to minding my own business,
y'all let me know how it all works out.

Huh. I though they hated the right for using “for us or against us” language on terrorism.

On encouraging white people to reflect on how race has shaped their lives

This [work] will be lifelong: really thinking deeply about what it means to be white, how your race shapes your life. We live in a society that turns race over to people of color. They have a race. We're just people. And so we see ourselves as outside of race. And that's problematic for many reasons. But there's so much potentially rich insight that we can gain from deeply reflecting on our own racial experiences.




This sounds like page 1 of the KKK instruction manual, seriously.

What are some answers to these questions, because I notice the author didn't offer up any deep insights of her own self-reflection.

People who see them as full of shite did it before this.

People who believe this shite will continue to do so until they either completely submit or they get mugged by reality.

So judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin is now racist?

I'm not racist. I believe all people are made in the image of God and they are my neighbors, whom I am commanded to obey God's law towards without distinction due to race, ethnicity, or skin color.

It’s why we’ll eventually start seeing all of our founding fathers and historical figures torn down and vilified.

Did Benjamin Franklin actively fight against slavery in the US? No? Then he was complicit and must be erased.

I saw a few ppl on Facebook (black), post “to all my White friends, by not posting on this matter...I now see your true colors, didn’t realize you were racist”.

Kinda felt like a racist post

I wanted to reply with, to all my black friends, by not posting against Micah Xavier Johnson, I now see your true colors, didn’t realize you were racist and wanted to kill cops.

We are living in bizarre times, some want to correlate this to the 60s...but with the propaganda machine of the MSM and social media, this will become much more divided and violent, unfortunately

So you're either black or a racist? That's pretty much how I read that.
