Dear white people: We don't need a torch to be part of the problem
Chicago Tribune ^ | August 15, 2017 | Marisa Novara

Denouncing acts of blatant hatred and bigotry is easy. But those of us who are white people don't need to carry a torch to be part of the problem. The subjugation of people of color happens every day by those who would never march with citronella torches or drive a car through a throng of innocent protesters, by people who would recoil at being called racist. Subjugation occurs by white people across the Chicago region who protest public and affordable housing under the polite cover of parking and density concerns; by white people across the state of Illinois who, knowing we are 50th in school funding equity, stand in the way of a bill that even timidly moves us away from penalizing poor students; and by white people across the country who voted for and still support a president who took days to condemn white supremacy.

Dear white oppressor person - why don’t you do your part and kill yourself?

Racial agitation has reached new heights after 8 years of Obama encouragement.

Yeah you don’t need a torch. The subjugation of people of color is now all about convincing them to give up on the American dream, live in impoverished inner cities wracked by drugs and gang violence, and become bitter rather than successful. Such a person devoid of hope can be easily manipulated to vote for the Democrats...the very party that fully endorsed for the KKK, Jim Crow laws, Lynchings, and slavery....but now has found a better way to lord it over them.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race.

That would be you, sweetie.

Dear Black People -

Get over yourselves.

You have the most freedom and greatest opportunity for success in the United States.

If you don’t like it here, pick a better country and go there.

Best,

Dear oppressed black or hispanic person - since America is irredeemably racist and there are so many other wonderful places where blacks and hispanic culture is dominant and blacks and hispanic people are in complete control, why are still living in such a negative and oppressing country like America?

Latin America is wide open for all hispanics and basically all of Africa is a black dominated utopia. Why stay in America and keep yourself oppressed? Move today and set yourself free!

Dear Moron,

I don’t even want to argue against your idiocy.

Burn in Hell for all eternity. Go soon.

Are the Blacks in some parts of Chicago who have been shooting a dozen other Blacks every day, killing two of them every day (and have been doing so for several years now) part of the problem?

Dear author;

Those of us who aren't white don't need smarmy, condescending white liberal elitists, with warped senses of "white knight" syndrome, constantly telling us what we can't do or that we aren't smart enough. Take your thinly veiled racism and shove it up your A$$.

Yep. 8 years of the most racist, divisive government in modern times has nearly destroyed gains made since the 1950’s.

Is it racist to seek a eugenic solution if smart, conservative white people want to obliterate stupid, Leftist white people?

Doesn't seem to be...

a president who took days to condemn white supremacy.

Oh golly, two whole DAYS before he would parrot the line you demanded that he parrot? Heaven forfend!!!! He denounced BOTH sides for the violence, and you couldn't handle that, you needed him to single out one side. YOU are the problem, covering for the violence of one side by overplaying the Race Card that was already worn and tattered several years ago.

Knowing that neither I nor *any* of my ancestors played any role in racism...discrimination...etc I feel absolutely NO guilt for,and acknowledge NO responsibility for,the bad things that have clearly happened to black people in the past.
