excerpt:

In his op-ed, Israel dismantled the growing notion that "systemic racism and white supremacy is all around us, and in everyone, and everything, a person encounters" and even more that it's "a secret force that exists everywhere, permeates all things, and wields power over society."

And he called it what it is — a "conspiracy theory."

[SkyDancer]

Nonsense; they’re motion detecting dispensers.

[House Atreides]

If you think about it, so is TOILET PAPER. We must rid ourselves of these RACIST, WHITE SUPREMATIST artifacts. NOW!!

[dainbramaged]

dispensers force "black and brown bodies" to show their palms
They could use the bottoms of their feet but that would be a bit awkward.

[beethovenfan]

Let’s all be filthy, stupid, and ignorant - then we won’t be RACIST!

civil engineering student from the University of California, Los Angeles…. Israel said one student said the dispensers "don't see her hands" because of her skin's dark pigment.

So we can look forward to this person designing buildings and bridges to be used by the public? Excellent.

Premise 1: Dirt is black.
Premise 2: Soap washes the black off.

Therefore, soap is racist.

I rests my case.

A bar of Dial doesn’t worry about skin color.

[mosesdapoet]

Especially if these are dispensing Ivory soap

[butlerweave]

One good thing is with all the worrying these idiots will not live long

[Liz]

......it’s a “RIGHT-WING” conspiracy theory, to be exact.......

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

The dispensers are racist because non-whites have to “show their palms”? I, a white guy, do that too. I have never seen anyone dispense soap except into their palms. The manual dispenser pretty much require it. Of course, that could just be something white people do and have callously forced it on POC.

Why do I suspect that a lot of this stuff comes from people who are just looking for trouble?

[Lopeover]

These twerps have too much time on their hands! They need loads more reading assignments in college!

[Newtoidaho]

The problem isn’t the soap dispensers, it’s that the automatic water faucets only work half the time. I think the water faucets are part of the anti white collective.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I got my Covid shot just now and no surprise - they asked for a photo ID - So naturally I had to object saying it was racist and a return to Jim Crow, and incredibly she told me I couldn’t get the shot otherwise.

Isn’t that interesting, they will deny you a life saving shot unless you have a photo ID but demanding a photo ID just to vote is racist and a return to Jim Crow

From the title, fully expected this to be from Babylon Bee.

[metmom]

Oh, but it gets better. He added that another student said the dispensers force "black and brown bodies" to show their palms — which are "the only light areas of the skin" — before the soap will come out.

Where else are you going to put the soap?

Or is being clean now white supremacy?

[gitmo]

If they’re racist, tear them off the wall and throw them away.

[Carl Vehse]

Automatic soap dispensers may use one of several techniques (light path interruption, motion sensor, infrared detection) to dispense soap onto a person’s hand.

None of these methods are racist. However one might try to fool an IR-detecting dispenser by putting a cold (or dead) hand under the dispenser.

White Sugar is racist. It’s a white supremicist plot to make blacks fat and unhealthy.

Brown sugar is not. /s
