HuffPo Writer: The Feelings of White People Leads to Racial Violence

The Social Memo ^ | 10/1/15 | Aurelius

Writing for the Huffington Post, Amelia Shroyer wants white people to know that their feelings and "fragility" are getting black people killed.

Her article, titled "White Fragility Is Racial Violence," begins by saying, "White people, we are massively failing with our white fragility. When we are asked to do the very least in empathetic listening, we center entire conversations around our own feelings."

Shroyer continues, "As white people living in white supremacy we have the power to take that focus because society values our words more than those of people of color."

Get over your feelings about being called a racist, Shroyer writes, because if you're white, you've done something racist anyway. "The fact is, if you're white in America, you've likely said, thought, or done something racist," she states bluntly. "It's just a fact. We were all brought up in a white supremacist culture."

Stop being afraid of being called a racist and realize that you likely are one, she writes. "By resisting (or even embracing) fear, guilt and shame we can open ourselves up to conversations about race that actually create a deeper understanding," Shroyer adds.

White people are wantonly killing black people and getting away with it, she goes on. "I don't have to live with the weight of knowing I can be gunned down in the street for no reason and my murderer would get away with it," Shroyer argues. "I don't ever have to contemplate how to prepare my child for a world that will fear, dehumanize and underestimate them. I cannot fathom that. I also cannot imagine carrying the weight of this knowledge only to be asked to educate the same people who resist listening to my reality."

Shroyer then calls on white people to end racism. "White people, we can do better. We can sit with our friends of color and feel our emotions without coopting [sic] their grief."

She then states that white people are still oppressing African Americans, writing, "We can do our own labor to educate ourselves, and find new sources of information to take the burden of our own ignorance off the people we have oppressed for centuries."

Ms. Shroyer ends her article, "We've got to do better. People are dying out here."

What total evil.

White people are wantonly killing black people and getting away with it, she goes on.

It's almost 2:00PM west coast time and I haven't met my quota for wanton black people killing. Yea gads!

I bet the majority of replies to that post criticized his misspelling of “arithmetic”. LOL

Another canary in the liberal coal mine.

Amelia Shroyer is a native Texan who moved abroad in 2011...

Texas apologizes. But give us credit for running her off as soon as we could.

And, pray tell, what would this young scribbler of dross know about "white racism" and the "black experience" if she's been living in Berlin with her friggin' cat for the past four years?

She is an educated idiot who knows nothing about anything of use or value. Just another social studies liberal arts major who emotes, but desperately wants to share her uninformed feelings with everyone. She should be posting on face book, not bothering others with her crap.

I was thinking that we should consider the sort of people who built everything in the nation or in history which is of any consequence.

When white liberal females have built great works of architecture, massive industrial infrastructures, huge agriculture industries, or any other thing of note or worth, then we should start listening to them.

Till they can match the accomplishments of those people they criticize, they need to be laughed at and dismissed.

"Huff Post runs some pretty sick crap. I suppose the mis-fits are the main audience"

It's a popular gathering spot for the mentally ill.

I hope she paid over $200,000 for college to get that damn dumb and useless.

What white people are failing at is allowing these people to walk over us in guilt that no longer holds anymore. Yes we should help but no we shouldn’t let them play the victim nor turn the “whitey” into victims. Right now they are enslaving the white race whne the white race cowers to say anything that might offend them. They are using the police to sharpen their scythes and lock us in. When it’s no longer profitable (includes power grubbing politicians) to be black anymore then and only then racism in America will end or be so non sequitor that it won’t even be newsworthy anymore. Sure there will always be the red headed step child syndrome but the cry will be more of a squeak than a full on rage.

I’ll bet she doesn’t have a thimble of Swedish blood in her veins. There could be some mixed race blood however.

[When do we get liberated?]

If ypour skin is white yes, if not no. The rules are pretty simple. I have been a racist ever since disagreeing with the government made one a racist.

[MNJohnnie]

She is an educated INDOCTRINATED idiot
