(5,125 posts)WHAT I AM SAYING is that the COLOR OF SOMEONE'S SKIN is NOT an indication of WHO THEY ARE OR CAN BE.
I see people's color as a variation, hair color, eye color, skin color makes up the person.
Maybe I am LESS color blind and more interested in who someone IS -- ALL THAT PERSON IS, not just deciding who they are by some predefined judgements.
I am not "in the know" enough to even understand what "War on the CRT" means.
I don't mind being uncomfortable, but I want to move BEYOND using Racism to fix Racism.
THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY.
You give me examples of HOW people benefit by being white without acting like ALL WHITE PEOPLE get that benefit, then I can do something about it.
This "GENERAL - White Privilege - mantra is what seems counter productive.
