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."
Already have. I no longer care if anybody thinks I'm racist.
“because if you’re white, you’ve done something racist anyway.”
That being said....If you are black..then you deserve what you get because you are too stupid to realize you are not a slave anymore except to the Democrat party and to your lack of morals.
Is that Luna Luna magazine, Loony Loony magazine or Loony Lefties magazine?

Most likely from Austin, U of T.
Nice photo, a perfect match for pajama boy.
“Stop being afraid of being called a racist...”
Believe me hon, I passed that point years and years ago, somewhere around the time when everyone who didn’t vote for Obama was labelled a racist. The term has absolutely no sting or stigma for me anymore.
I’m still gonna reject all the progressive PC race baiting though!
She’s a pandering hack with nothing to offer and nothing to say. So she condescends to a demographic that she thinks will buy her load of garbage. She’s looking for validation but blacks see her as another honkey mark.
“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.”
Everybody thinks they are a psychologist or at least just another “Dr Phil”...just waiting for Oprah to discover them and make them rich!
whites, just say no to white guilt, white self doubt, and white self hatred.Say yes to white self esteem.
Bingo. Look at what happened to south central Los Angeles, Detroit, Baltimore and (formerly) the Harlem section of Manhattan when white liberal ideas were instilled on the local black population--the result was broken families, an explosion of violence due to activities such as illegal drug peddling, and young black men turning into (more or less) predators.
Oh I knew there had to be cat involved...get her checked for Toxoplasmosis. It must be what is eating her brain!
Without question....It takes the prize for moronic writing as well as the authors projection of their own psychological disorder upon all white people.

Oh, the horrors of the KKK and Nazis marching through the south and west sides of Chicago, wantonly murdering innocent young black males at the rate of 8 or 10 a week. Un, duh, what do you mean, not a single such cracker/honky has even been identified, let alone caught.
Well, it is HuffPoo for what it's worth (not much).
This racist-trash “writer” take the prize for the most incoherent piece ever written. What a pinhead. The malignancy should not be allowed to write and post on the internet when they are hospitalized in a mental hospital. Things need to be tightened-up there.
Hey racist pig with your head up your a$$! Go it Newark NJ at 11pm and experience White racism. (there isn’t any)
Sure White People's "Feelings" cause racial tension. For some reason, we don't like being robbed, assaulted, murdered by a certain ethnic group, all while having to support their welfare queens.
If it’s already been decided that I’m a racist because I’m white then why should I care what black people think of me? I happen to think that I’m not a racist, but if they’ve already made up their mind then what’s the point? Why bother caring what they think?
