Money quote:
When it comes to racial bias, you either participate in it actively or through silence, or you use your power and privilege to dismantle it.
So much for dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I remember how the Left mocked Bush the Younger for his you are either with us or against us rhetoric.

The answer to this is you are not obliged to think about their situation. And a big get lost to purveyors of guilt trips.

The problem is that white people with the most privilege don’t think they have it. White Democrats. White BLM protesters calling Black police officers the N word.

So, they’re saying that white people are better than black people?I for one refuse to accept that white people are better than black people.

You have an opinion, dear.
That is all it is.

I see a dominant trend in how people "think" these days. It's pretty obvious on the topic of Race, but I see it in other areas too. I would sum it up as follows: "You either agree with my opinion, or you're wrong."
I think it's an evolution of the recent postmodern concept of "We all have our own truths" or "Your truth may be different from my truth". I think those postmodern notions are sloppy and dangerous ways of thinking. But I think we are now at a new level.
"I have an opinion. My opinion is basically a Fact. If you ignore my Fact, if you dare to have an Opinion that differs from my Opinion, then you are the worst person ever."
I can't believe people are going through life with a worldview like that, but I think they are.

I vote we use BLM’s method to erase our privilege...loot, burn, destroy and murder. Seems to be working for them.

The article is BS. No one can point to a Jim Crow type law that is proof of systemic racism.
Justice should be blind. Not race obsessed.

Perhaps Agnes Gund should take a trip to Eastern Kentucky and discuss white privilege with the folks there.

our insidious negative beliefs about Black people that cause us to tolerate the reality that Black people are disproportionately harmed by policing and the legal system.
Author is delusional.

Author already has decided what she wants to believe based on her agenda, and doesn't need, nor want any facts.

How queer. Muslims dont have to denounce slavery, misogyny, or international terrorism. Democrats dont have to denounce rioters, violence (assault, carjackings, gun violence) at their peaceful protests or the antisemtism of Antifa and BLM.
There is a whole lot of silence and acceptance.
Screw TIME-LIES Magazine before they screw America.

"I have learned since that everyone, but, particularly white people, must address our insidious negative beliefs about Black people"
You need to go out into the backyard and eat worms. That will fix you good. After that, sacrifice your first born. Then kill yourself. What is this "our" stuff? We (other White people) are not in this with you so don't expect support. BTW, "we weren't in it together when it was Covid either. I'm tired of buying the world a coke and singing in perfect har-mo-ny. Didn't like you before. Sure don't like you now.

When congress passed affirmative action they basically said blacks were inferior and needed legal action to correct the problem.
