You say stuff like you're the decider of what is right and what is wrong. Your opinion is that it is "completely wrong and totally illogical." Your opinion is also that most people of color don't believe that racism is systemic and institutionalized and that individual bigotry is something different than racism. I have been told by a large number of people of color, including one who is an anti-racism trainer, and who has a doctorate in her field and works in her field, that this is the way people of color define racism. You told Mr. Scorpio here that it isn't the way most people of color define it, you told 1StrongBlackMan in another thread that it isn't the way most people of color define it. You've spent a pretty good amount of time contradicting people of color about what people of color think, and you've told me that you're a greater authority about this than a person of color who works in the anti-racism world and has a doctorate in that area. I really have no reason to accept you as an authority and I'm not likely to be swayed to your way of thinking, or what you think is the best way to "improve messaging" when it's built on an ill-founded sense of authority.
