As a Black woman, I can’t ever stop thinking about racism. It’s not a choice; it’s my reality.

If I wasn’t thinking about being Black, what would I think about?

I think about the murder of Black people every morning. When I wake up, when I leave my house, when I jog around white neighborhoods, when I see the blue-red blur of a police car. I think of Black murder every time I open my phone to see white people’s vacations or dinners with friends or family gatherings. I look at white happiness and I wonder how they can so easily ignore the unjust murders countless Black families in America grieve every year. I look at white skin and wonder how they can discriminate against melanin yet lie blissfully on sunny beaches seeking darker complexions. I wonder what it’d be like to enter stores, go on walks, approach any public space and not worry about policing your face, posture, tone of voice.

George Floyd’s murder has reinforced the sad truth I’ve come to acknowledge after watching this happen to countless Black people, especially Black men, over the years: Many white people don’t think of Black people as human, and therefore as beings who can be killed and mourned. Being a Black woman in America has led me to conclude that Black death is seen as deserved and inevitable, that the murder of Black people is not truly murder unless white people have eight minutes and 46 seconds of proof. They need to see the Black man choke and beg and plead for mercy before they acknowledge him as dead.

This reads like a parody but frighteningly she is serious. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the sheer insanity of this.

As a white man you won’t let me NOT think about racism no matter how hard I try.

I can’t ever stop thinking of crime whenever I see a black person

Btw - I will point out that it sounds like she’s loved in Democrat controlled cities all her life where they’ve been systemicly keeping her under control.

We all put up with prejudice. Whites chalk it up yo life and some people being idiots.

Some Blacks see the same kind of things, but they blame it on racism. And then they blame every White person for it.

There are Blacks out there who see things about like Whitez do.

They are slandered as Uncle Toms.

Black do get confronted on race, but it has to dawned on them that many Whites line up with them when championing equality.

That is dismissed so they can go fill out racist.

We can ignore many because the media do not highlight the 93% of black murder victims who are killed by other blacks. Much of this violence is gang related. Are these the unjust murders she is talking about?

We grieve for innocent black people killed, however, we whites can feel there’s nothing we personally can do, because there is so much black on black violence.

Obviously one of the 50% of inner city black women who weren’t raped by black men.

Being a perpetual victim appears to be her only talent. Real talents take hard work and skill. Complaining and whining takes nothing. Unfortunately, being a victim pays these days.

Lady, most the murdering of Blacks is done by Blacks. I’m of Asian ancestry, Do I see Asians killing Asians with impunity? NO. Do I see Whites killing Blacks with impunity, NO.

Want Respect?, Respect yourselves first.

The victim bit is only one side of the coin - the other side is ‘violence’...

As Carl Jung said, people don’t have ideas - ideas have people.

And this woman is absolutely possessed by her ideas and ideology
