They think that affirmative action is "unfair" and discriminates against whites and is therefore racist. They think that people of color who point out racism (like BLM does) are "whining" and "want special treatment."
Most of all, a person who sizes up another and points out that they are being racist is him/herself a racist.
America is in the midst of cultural warfare, and this moment in our history is not just about racists. It's more importantly about the rising tide of Americans who stand against them.
This moment is about you and all the other people of conscience I have had the pleasure of posting with over the years. TOO numerous to name. Much respect for all.
This moment is about Americans who stand against racism, sexism, and the gluttony of ignorance that divides us. The moment includes all people who stand against racism, no doubt. But it specifically, and most importantly, speaks to the growing tide of white Americans who stand firmly against it .. a tide that is being increasingly led by white women.
.. gotta' run. Going to the women's rally today.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
