"Reverse racism" is a joke. Don't buy into that nonsense.I'm not talking about reverse racism, just racism. You are not right to predicate policy on skin color. It's a bad policy.
Repeat after me: The law should protect all citizens equally, without regard to race or economic background. End of story.
You are agreeing with the concept of "reverse racism" being true.
Also, I'm predicating policy on privilege (or lack of it). It's a good policy because it doesn't indicate blindness to the extent of the injustices afflicted on the oppressed by the system.
And no, I won't repeat your mantra because to do so, in this context, is to implicitly agree that the current system is good and void of flaws that have harmed the oppressed and the unprivileged. It's similar reasoning to why I won't say "all lives matter" because, clearly, in this corrupt system of racism and privilege, all lives certainly are not treated equally.
Be blind, all you want. I don't care. You're still wrong, and you will continue to be wrong so long as you insist all lives are treated equally and accorded the same rights.
