No fragility in talking about racism here: The NAACP is a racist organization, the Congressional Black Caucus is a racist organization, and Black Lives Matter is a VERY racist organization.

So I’ll keep my money, thanks.

In other words, why you shouldn’t fight back against racist slander and leftist demands to accept slavery status.

The bitch running this thing is pure evil.

When they say “sell out”, how many people are they talking about?

10 or 500?

Let me guess, if you argue with any claims, no matter how outrageous, that’s a symptom. If you shut up and don’t argue, that’s a symptom. I bet if you agree, that’s some sort of co-opting maneuver that is also a symptom, and in fact, there is no correct response to accusations of racism except abject apology followed by suicide.

“Sell out” is the operative term.

How about answering, “So what! I don’t care!”

No matter what you say they’re going to brand you a racist, just agree and tell them you just don’t care!

If “racism” has been reduced to a single attribute of skin “color” along a one dimensional brightness axis, there’s nothing to discuss. Everyone is neither black nor white.

Everything whitey does is either macro- or micro-aggression. Can’t move into the ‘hood - you’re gentrifying “their” neighborhoods. Can’t move outta the ‘hood - white flight is racist. There is absolutely no winning for melanin-challenged citizens.

That’s actually where I am now. I do not care anymore. If someone calls me racist, I just shrug. Oh well. You bandy that word about enough, it loses its meaning.

Uh huh. I need to part with 60 buckadingdongs to learn how to apologize for something I never did. I’ll pass, thanks.

So we’re supposed to develop “a high emotional tolerance for discussing racism,” but we’re not allowed to use that two-syllable word that America’s indigenous urban people call each other fifteen times a minute?

I wonder if Teach wears spiked heels, walks on the student’s bare backs, and beats them with a crop.

The course needed nowadays is White Appreciation 101. Does not the entire world benefit from white folk inventions & accomplishments? Who discovered almost all cures for disease? Invented cars, planes, trains, computers, submarines, radios, wireless tech, printing press, rocket ships, and on and on? How about a ‘thank you’?

Caucasians' 'low emotional tolerance for discussing racism'

Does that include Hispanics?

I'm retired now so I don't know how much affirmative action hiring and promotion based on race is going on now days. Has it switched to gayness?

Anyway, this is how white people discussed racism in corporations in the past:

Who got the promotion?
Oh, that's what I thought.

White Fragility triggers a range of defensive moves including: argumentation, invalidation, silence, withdrawal and claims of being attacked and unsafe.

Which leaves only one possible, legitimate white response to any racial discussion:

"Yes, dear. No, dear. Whatever you say, dear."

Hispanics only count as white when determining numbers in prison populations.

If anyone dares to risk my “fisk”, It’s “boff” an’ it’s “wham”, Un’erstan’, So keep “good behavor”, That’s your one life saver, With Popeye the Sailor Man
