(54,005 posts)First you said all white women are racist. I assume you think white men are racist too.
Then you said white people need to clean up racism.
So you want the cleaning up to be done by racists. You even compared it to an addiction.
but then you said that white people benefit from racism. How is addiction a benefit? And more importantly, why do you think people would bring an end to something that they're benefiting from?
I mean, I always thought the idea of the victims of racism sitting around waiting for a white savior was a borderline racist notion. But on top of that, you want that savior to be a racist?
it just sounds to me like you're digging a hole with your sweeping racist generalizations about people, and giving up on the idea that Americans can work together.
I think you should explore the idea that the truth is a little bit more subtle than your ham-fisted generalities allow for
