Justin Cohen, a contributor to the Huffington Post and former member of the education policy committee for President Obama's 2008 campaign, stated that his goal for 2017 is to have white people realize that we're all on the "racism spectrum" and that white people need to stop being so "sensitive" about being called racist.
His article, titled "Three New Years Resolutions For White America," detailed what he is working towards in the new year.
"Resolution #1: We resolve to stop being so damned sensitive about the word racism," Mr. Cohen writes. "Racism warrants discussion, but White people put too many conditions on the discussion of the phenomenon... We do not have the luxury to orchestrate conversations about racism so that theyre more comfortable for tepid White people."
To this end, all white people need to understand that they are, at least, a little racist against people of color.
"Resolution #2: We resolve to realize that all White people are participating in racism," he writes, saying that people born a certain race automatically have a specific attribute.
"Thats right, I said all. Sorry to burst your bubble, White lady wearing an Assata Taught Me t-shirt," Mr. Cohen explains. "The majority of our people sided with the Ku Klux Klan to elect an overt bigot as president... All of us are on the racism spectrum until further notice."
Mr. Cohen's third resolution is to "resolve to organize our people around anti-racist ideas."
He writes, "For centuries, being White in America meant reaping unearned power and advantages, relative to people who are not White. Americas power structure, to an almost comical degree, still reflects that version of Whiteness."
Mr. Cohen concludes, "Anti-racist White people must continue to make racism unacceptable, otherwise the White supremacist vision will continue to build power. And win."
The ones who seem to focus on what race you are part of seem to be predominately on the left.
They can stick their HuffPo
where does that put uber racist spike lee (film director super racist)
Bloody fascists and communists all.
Justin Cohen and the Huffington Post think I'm a racist?
Since they're not open to rational conversations on the subject, the only response I have to them is:
SYA
Try doing something abour ir, buttwipe.
Oh, don’t worry, Justin. I don’t care in the slightest anymore if I get called racist.
What else they got?
This guy is a jackass of the deepest conviction.
White people will soon take the attitude of “OK, so I’m racist. F-— you, too”
Their white-shaming will end in killing young girls who want to fit in and who therefore over—use tanning salons to overcome their whiteness. This may be a stretch but is definitely the sort of response they’d have at the ready. “Millions will be killed by crazy far-left Huffers” the headline would scream.
Justin Cohen is Hitler (because I said so).
This will be my standard response to any lib attacking me or my tribe - they’re all Hitler.
Your warnings mean nothing to me commie liar. Look to your own kind for the real kkk.
I’m not sensitive about being called a racist. I recognize it for what it is - an attempt to shut me up.
Looks like he would have a lot to worry about in a muzzlim country. Like tall buildings.
I want to know why white liberals look so weird. I want to know.
The effective response to “You’re a racist!” is “So what?”
Translation: shut up and put up with me browbeating you, you inherently inferior lower caste.
“Best response to being called racist is to reply so?’
Or...”so’s your old man!”
Or....(rack-rack) “Bring it, jerkface!”
