“If you’re white, you’re probably racist,” an editor for the University of Alabama’s student newspaper told her classmates in a recent op-ed.

Writing last week for The Crimson White, Opinions Editor Marissa Cornelius begins by listing various “internalized racist beliefs” she considers common to white students, such as “being scared of the Walmart on Skyland Boulevard” or being surprised that a black classmate is “articulate.”

Thougt it was to hot in 'Bama for snowflakes.

“being surprised that a black classmate is “articulate.””

Paging Joe Biden.

Unless you are LGBT

[SkyDancer]

No, I’m an anti-stupidicist. A racist is someone who drives a fast car around an oval racetrack.

“and if you’re Korean, you’re apartment probably stinks” was her brilliant follow up statement.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The downtown Kroger supermarket near The Ohio State campus is called the Krogetto.

How is being aware racist?

Watch the news. Listen to hip hop. Watch crowds in Myrtle Beach.

[SaxxonWoods]

If you say such a thing, you are definitely a jerk using exclusionary rhetoric to try to make yourself feel superior.

Not working, but keep it up. It’s working so well, for the rest of us.

If you’re leftist, you’re probably racist....against whites.

[Uncle Miltie]

Which statement is itself Racist.

[Joe Brower]

I have only one immediate response to this sort of leftist nuttery, which I refrain from describing here.

This insanity is to be repelled and crushed the second it shows its ugly face.

“being surprised that a black classmate is “articulate.””

I'm equally surprised when any product of the gov't school system is "articulate", regardless of their skin color.

[Sasparilla]

.... listing various “internalized racist beliefs” she considers common to white students...

Isn’t drawing up a list such as that the same kind of prejudice that the writer is so incensed about? Isn’t part of prejudice prejudging such as the list does?

[ilovesarah2012]

Never in my 64 years have I ever thought once about a Korean’s apartment.

If you are White you are right

[RC one]

If you’re a democrat, a liberal, a socialist, or if you voted for Hillary, Bernie, or Jill I probably hate you and I truly don’t care what color your skin is.

Yep, I like folks like this.

Every scolding diatribe moves conservatives closer to re-election in 2020 (and '24? maybe '28?)

If she can assume I am racist simply for being white, (which is a steteotype) then I must assume she steals, stinks, and aspires to be a welfare brood mare.

I'm equally surprised when any product of the gov't school system is "articulate", regardless of their skin color.

Why is it that so many negroes (and it's not just negroes, it is the lower income culture) seem NOT to be articulate, and yet in ENGLAND, almost all of the negroes speak THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH very well ?

[glennaro]

From her generalizations, the morally-confused Marissa Cornelius is herself clearly a racist -- she exhibits unequivocable racism against Caucasians.

Then again, because she attends a liberal-arts college her moral confusion and disjointed thinking is understandable -- but that does not excuse her racist rant.
