(10,745 posts)In fact, I hate to say this, but this whole shenanigan actually reminds me of actual Fox B.S. talking points, mainly about how most black people are supposedly angry at all white people, that they're all lazy and want to sit on their asses, and blame every little thing that happens to them on white people as a collective, etc.
Of course, none of this is actually true, but 'Baggers sure do believe it.
Here's my point: not only is "only white people can be racist" completely wrong and totally illogical, but also, it even gives ammo to Teabaggers and other far-right malcontents to use stuff like that and say, "See? All dem libruls is self-hatin' whate folks!". Just as they also use climate doomerism to claim that climate change is a hoa which it isn't!). We may be able to see thru all that, but not everyone does.
Which part of the reason why we need to focus on improving our messaging. I realize it's not going to be easy, but if we want to strive for a better world, there's going to be times where we have to make necessary changes.
