I'm racist for pointing out racism?
LOL...You can't speak of the impact that race has on various matters to most of these folks beyond a surface level without them breaking down a crying out--
"Gahhh....You're a blee-yack ree-cist!"
As if too much truth makes tiny little bombs goes off in their brains.
Truth is, we do not live in post-racial America. Slavery and oppression hasn't ended; It's been modernized and received a re-brand, is all.
This country was founded on and continues to operate under a horrendous and crushing system of White Supremacy.
Most White folks can't "see" that, because they don't have to live life on the shitty end of it--though I suspect that many, many more of them simply don't want to see it, because it disrupts the status quo.
Centuries-old propaganda that has stigmatized Black skin in ways such as, oh say, making Black men as the face of sexual violence and depravity (even though we know that's not actually the case), still persists. So if White folks wonder why Black people get their hackles up when White folks happily go whole hog in labeling a Black man a rapist DESPITE there being substantial and very serious questions to his accuser's credibility AND the charges being dropped, there they have it...it feeds a dangerous narrative.
