We’re all racist. But racism by white people matters more

We don’t live in a racially neutral society: from police officers to headteachers, all the gatekeepers in my life have been white. Yet we do have to acknowledge those who feel they lose out to ethnic minorities

Most white people don’t see themselves as racist. They can comfortably reel off a list of people of colour they know, like, or maybe even love. They can’t think of a time when they’ve negatively discriminated against someone on the grounds of their race. And they don’t see, in a concrete way, how their own race has positively affected them.

More than that, when people imagine a racist, they probably envisage a white skinhead sat in a pub ready to start a fight with the first black or brown person who walks through the door. That’s a convenient picture to conjure up – it’s pretty easy to comfort yourself that you’re nothing at all like that awful bastard.

In fact, though, everyone – of whatever colour – is racist. As part of a TV documentary I’ve been working on, I’ve seen how our brains have a tendency to automatically associate our own race with good and other races with bad, whoever we are....

I suppose she thinks Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin were innocent victims.

This statement is racist.

[RC one]

I’m not racist. I hate everyone equally.

Racism against White people (especially White males) must end. Dragging Whites down will not lift up non-Whites.

Not only that, but it’s racist to think you’re not a racist. And should you attempt to justify your thinking along those lines, by, for example, talking about your black friends and associates, you have white guilt about being a racist. Even if you’re not white, you can have white guilt. With today’s technology, it’s actually easier to transmute your genitals rather than to scour your being of racism.

I don’t know. I admire the Japanese and get along well with them.

[willk]

I’m so sick of this.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That goes for me and the Koreans.

[Kirkwood]

The author is chock full of stereotypical characterizations... or something.

[sparklite2]

There are Koreans in my family, so, yeah, them too.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That explains why you always smell like Kimchi.

Miss Millie was white and wasn't racist. She wanted Oprah to be her maid and thought her chirruns were clean.

So I call balderdash on this article.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Kimchi is delicious.

I’ve always admired the Japanese culture, though lately they have shown alarming signs of being packed too tight for too long.

“I’m a racist, he’s a racist, she’s a racist, we’re all racist, wouldn’t you like to be a racist too...”

[Taxman]

I am NOT racist!

But, if this racist crap keeps up, I might become one!

[sparklite2]

Go on, embrace your inner racist.
It feels good, is liberating, and
now if someone calls you a racist,
say, “So what?”

When is "Day Without People Talking About Racism" this year?

Don't tell me I missed it.

Mona.. you ignorant slut..

It is actually a culture war against the original offspring of man. The whites must be bred out of existence. Happening in Europe now. Fuck Racisms and the culture war.

I am a white man that does not agree with the marxist agenda. I also do not agree with the Hasatan agenda to wipe out white people and Jews off the world map. Time for an accurate education on world events.
