All white people are racists...or "white fragility" ??

RE: All white people are racists...or "white fragility" ??
Quote:I get that some people's approach to this is wrong, and much of what people say on race is phrased poorly. I think, however, focusing on the phrasing is missing the forrest for the trees, and if we choose to focus on that instead, we will fail to address the underlying problems at hand.

The only thing that matters is the phrasing and the wording of the article.  If you want people to try to understand and acknowledge a topic then don't write a full article of bullshit and poorly worded paragraphs about it accusing the people you're trying to communicate with of violence, murder and arrogance.
He's writing an article about something that is already well known, it's been a popular hashtag for a while now among others.  #crimingwhilewhite #whiteprivilage and so on.
If you're going to write an article about an already well known topic the only thing that matters is your own personal wording and phrasing of how you present the topic.
It isn't his role to be the first person to tell people about this because most western white people with the internet already know, so what he's doing is basically taking a topic people already know about then taking a shit on it by writing his own article on it while giving out incorrect statements that are poorly phrased while passing them off as a fact.
I don't know how any white person reading this can't feel annoyed that you're basically being told because you're white you're responsible for a lot of pain and suffering, you act violent towards, kill and fire these "people of colour" from their jobs if they disagree with you.  And I don't know how you can't feel like the guy is being condescending if you're black and reading the article.
And don't argue with this person about race either, you don't even have a PHd on the topic which means the subject isn't up for debate.  He clearly says this in the last few paragraphs.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
