Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are asking people to buy sweatshirts promoting violence against police officers and classifying all white people as racists.
Racism, claims one hoodies page, is a set of systematic, institutional, cultural, and epistemological (although not limited to said forms) structures that inherently empowers white folk and in turn disempowers people of color. This power dictates who lives, have housing, access to education/healthcare etc. Racism has little to do with hatred and mostly to do with who has power.

White folks that have never been racist are getting there fast these days, pushed in that direction.

Don’t confuse that with episiotomy.
But for these folks, that’s just another big, important-sounding word.
Let’s see.
Can we claim that all black people are racist?
I didn’t think so.
Exactly. The only racists I know - people who are prejudiced based on race - are liberals. I don't care even a little if a leftist calls me or anyone else that now meaningless word under their nonsense definition.
This is my alma mater, where I now hesitate to admit that I received a Journalism degree. The funniest thing is, they now have a Professor of Ethics in Journalism—from whom I have never gotten an answer to any emails— but trying to access any info from this department nowadays, I get a yuuuuge “Dangerous Website Blocked”...so I don’t go there.
One of my interesting cases has been being called not really a woman because I’m not a devout feminist, as I stood there with my daughter and her troop.
I’ve met real racists of multiple ethnicities. You want to see hatred, see a black man marry a white woman and get savaged by black women for doing so.
Or a black woman married to a white man, seen as a traitor, though not as bad as the black man.
Yet whites intermarry to a high degree and it is rarely an issue. And some of the interracial resentment I’ve seen black to white is where the black man gets a white girl pregnant as a status symbol and leaves, so she’s left raising the child alone - while everyone tells her the baby should be raised to identify with the absent father. You even see this with Kaepernick, born to white mother, raised by white parents - goes Black Pride to prove his black credentials. Obama’s in the same group. And I’ve heard the white grandparents get pissed to be denounced by the half black grandchild they raised who now hates them for their privilege, after they did most of the work raising the child. But the racism isn’t by the whites, only horror and animosity, but it is racism on the part of the child who has to denounce the family that raised them to have tribal membership with the absent father’s tribe.
