How can anyone wear a white jacket and not have a big mustard or salsa stain down the front is beyond me. The mauve is very flattering though

Humans are tribal based on how we look, but we don't have to be.

Racism is bad. Obviously, but I wish people didn't get defensive and shut down whenever someone else says something they say or think is racist because just about everyone has biases and things that they dont fully understand the implications of.
It doesn't make anyone 'bad' unless the shut down and refuse to examine their thoughts/words/actions. It just means we all still have a lot to learn.

Leroy is an idiot, sure.
What i mean, though is that a lot of us grew up with parents that swore they weren't racist, and probably honestly thought they weren't but also believed and perpetrated a lot of racist ideas.
Some examples?
The welfare queen
The gansta
The idea that minorities get more handouts so its easier to succeed as a minority
There isn't really racism in the USA anymore
The black man womanizer stereotype
Etc etc.
Racism/bias is everywhere. Heck, I grew up in a place without black people and as a young adult, I was afraid of black people.
I had no reason to be. A black person had never hurt me so where did that fear come from? Its certainly racist to fear someone because of their race, but I did not want to be racist.
I was taught to fear black people by my not racist parents attitudes and by the news and popular culture.
If we can't admit things like that we cannot examine them and figure out where they come from and change.

Ahh now, they aren't mutually exclusive. Theres racism, the need to call it out, and theres also a lot of moral panic, and using that fear of racism to stir up votes or controversy etc.
So actually, no, I wasn't ussing a strawman or hyperbole. You are when you imply that one can't say the fear of racism is used to create division and manipulate people without also saying you don't believe racism exists at all.
I don't belive I'm using hyperbole or conducting any such strawman but I'm not here to argue about it if it seems like I'm speaking greek to you I doubt that will change. I'd be intersted in hearing other peoples views about it but its not a hill I give a fuck about dying on if its just an argument.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________
