But here is the irony, here's the thing that all the angry Black people know, and no calmly debating White people want to admit: The entire discussion of race in America centers around the protection of White feelings.
A white person smoking pot is a "Hippie" and a Black person doing it is a "criminal." It's evident in the school to prison pipeline and the fact that there are close to 20 people of color in prison for every white person.
There's a headline from The Independent that sums this up quite nicely: "Charleston shooting: Black and Muslim killers are 'terrorists' and 'thugs'. Why are white shooters called 'mentally ill'?"I'm gonna read that again: "Black and Muslim killers are 'terrorists' and 'thugs'. Why are white shooters called 'mentally ill'?"Did you catch that? It's beautifully subtle. This is an article talking specifically about the different way we treat people of color in this nation and even in this article's headline, the white people are "shooters" and the Black and Muslim people are "killers."
White people and Black people are not having a discussion about race. Black people, thinking as a group, are talking about living in a racist system. White people, thinking as individuals, refuse to talk about "I, racist" and instead protect their own individual and personal goodness. In doing so, they reject the existence of racism.
People are dying because we are supporting a racist system that justifies White people killing Black people.
And White people, every single one of you, are complicit in this racism because you benefit directly from it.
Here's what I want to say to you: Racism is so deeply embedded in this country not because of the racist right-wing radicals who practice it openly, it exists because of the silence and hurt feelings of liberal America.
Fucking niggers man
The reality of thousands of innocent people raped, shot, imprisoned, and systematically disenfranchised are less important than the suggestion that a single White person might be complicit in a racist system.
all I need to say is that there is nothing wrong with White people wanting to be surrounded by other White people in their own goddamn countries.

and, yknow, the "their own goddamn countries" thing is pretty funny, considering how white people kind of took america from its original, non-white inhabitants by force.

You do need to explain this because what you've said makes no sense at all. Is an Irish person racist for wanting their small Irish town to be just that, a small Irish town?
More importantly are you holding non-whites to the same standard? Are black Ghettos racist? Are Middle Eastern Ghettos racist? Is India racist? Is China racist?
America and every other Western country is predominately white (White people, White language, White morals, White culture, White technology, and so on)
if said irish person doesnt want people of color living in his town then yes, that is racist.not going to humor the ridiculous particulars of this thought exercise. i hold everyone to the same ethical standards regardless of ethnicity/race. if a black person doesnt want white people living in their community, that's racist. if a white doesnt want chinese in their community, that's racist. if an arab man doesnt want indians in his community, that's racist.
and id just like to point something out to you.Quote America and every other Western country is predominately white (White people, White language, White morals, White culture, White technology, and so on)this train of thought reflects a severe lack of knowledge/critical comprehension of history and multiculturalism. your impotent rhetoric doesnt do your argument any favors and it makes you seem like an ignorant white supremacist.
Colour me fucking surprised.
