When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

/that's a quote but I don't know the source.

"Blacks Make Racial Slurs & Commit Hate Crimes Too!!"

Well, yes. In my experience all human beings are prone to prejudice. It's something we all have to struggle with.

@4 True. But white prejudice is especially damaging because white people have the most power, status, and perceived value in America, regardless of class. So it deserves special attention if we're ever to attempt equity. We put the most firefighters on the biggest fire, so to speak.

As the Avenue Q song goes, everyone's a little bit racist- but it takes a special level of fuckery to wear it on your back. What is it about the Trumpanzees and projection? See what/whom they're accusing today, to find out what atrocities they themselves are committing.

Far easier to spot the folks whom are calling other folks racists, than to spot the actual racists themselves.

@6: I'm sorry to ask, but would you please parse that for me?

@11: My pleasure: Easier to spot the race card players than the actual racists.

Sometimes, getting someone to restate their argument using different words helps to illustrate the errors in it. Doesn't always work though.

@15 Don't feel bad, we've all been trying and failing to get raindrop to overcome his mental illness for over a decade now. Welcome aboard!
