James Baldwin on White Fragility

[Sharkbiscuit]

Let's rename the school in Florida after a Union General who led an offensive in Georgia 150 years ago, when nobody alive today was born.

Fragile white southerners:

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Yeah because those guys are publicly funded educators and here they are pushing their curricula on kids.

Come again?

Valid comparisons are really not that hard, if you graduated high school.

I love it when people try to respond to claims of racism by being racist and claiming there’s no such thing as racism. Always an effective strategy.

Duffy is on the roll today.

But he doesn't care if you call him racist.

"The left" didn't bring racism back, as you and your buddy ifail stupidly claimed.

A good way to tell if you're racist is if when Obama said if he had a son, he might look like Trayvon, you feel something negative and you think what he said was divisive.

Kind of amusing how he tried to be as non-confrontational as possible on race and tried to be as white as possible.

I think the most aggro thing he did was say Bundy doesn't know squat, because Bundy began with "let me tell you about the negro".

white people want to keep putting off that reckoning

thanks, Obama!

Nobody supports those guys.

If you don’t think they’re a problem or worse claim that racism isn’t a problem you are indirectly supporting them.

Reality is millions of people who say things like “I’m not racist but ______” are collectively worse than a small vocal group of people screaming racist sh!t with tiki torches or klan robes. Just because you’re not the grand wizard doesn’t mean you’re not a racist piece of sh!t.

Obama getting elected……that is the exact moment when WP got to a whole new level of shrieking and gnashing of the teeth

Exactly.

And the fact that many in these parts and beyond think it’s somehow his fault is precisely the problem.

I also saw plenty of Latinos doing same not only from US but other countries along with Xpats.

because of obama? I guess I met a few. I wouldn’t say they were as crazy as WP were. I mean, WP were out in the streets yelling and burning images in effigy.

Left brought racism back a long time before Charlottesville

You're answering Duffy's question pretty emphatically

IF UR NOT WIT ME UR GAINST ME

It's so funny to hear groupthink tropes recycled again and again

Yeah, people never burn images in effigy of politicians they don't like unless it's racism

Goddamnit you don't burn the hair. You wash it away with a firehose.

And... is that Willem Dafoe's head he's holding?

Righty racism = incel basement dwellers

Lefty racism = diversity trainers
