Personally, I think it comes off as less callous sounding.

"I was never an evil monster until you decided that I was...
I never cared if you were 'gay' until you started shoving it in my face, and the faces of my children.
I never cared what color you were, until you started blaming my race for your problems.
I never cared about your political affiliation until you started to condemn me for mine.
I never cared where you were born until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your current problems.
I never cared if you were well-off or poor, until you said you were discriminated against, when I was promoted because I worked harder.
I never cared if your beliefs were different from mine, until you said my beliefs were wrong.
NOW I CARE!
My patience and tolerance are gone.
I'm not alone in feeling this way, there are millions of us who do and we have had enough!"
pretty sure the original came from 4chan
I think this is all why the Black people in my area have been even more polite and solicitous toward me, during the last few months.
Good Black people aren’t buying-in to this stuff; my perception has been that it has worried them a lot. They probably fear being all identified with what a relative few Black people - along with a lot of vicious, mindless White people - are doing.
bttt
Many of us grew up believing in MLK’s dream that people should be judged not by skin color but by the content of their character. Now we are told that it was all Bullsh*t, and that people SHOULD be judged ONLY by skin color, and that we are to be damned for ours.
“What do you know about yourself if you’ve never been in a fight?”
That’s very good! It says it all.
Yes indeed
100%

Works for me.
I like yours better, Optimist.
Mega Dittoes!!!!
Like I opined earlier....
The KKK had a reputation and not a good one and WE THE PEOPLE basically ran them out of business by ignoring them.
This present anitfa/BLM is going to cause the KKK to come ‘out of the closet’ as the elected officials are doing nothing to stop the random attacks against cities, businesses and Whites.
The KKK harassed Blacks and other minorities while BLM is hell bent on harassing Whites.
So, while the KKK wore White Sheets/robes the BLM is wearing Black Sheets/robes and they are being treated as ‘heroes’.
The Blacks in this country had better read their own ‘homelands’ history and check up on what happened when the 85% majority was sick and tired of the 15% minority riding herd on them.

I like it.
Don’t know what the link is for, though.

Had enough ?
Blacks make up about 13% of the 329MM people in America, while Hispanics and Latinos make up about 18%. That's 31% or about 102MM people.
USA Today put the number of protests by the end of June at 1,700. Let's assume that the average number of protesters was 1000 per protest, meaning 1.7MM people protesting. Let's further assume half of the protesters were black and Hispanic..that means 850k protesters.
So, 0.84% of all blacks and Hispanics protested (and let's say also rioted). That means 99.16% didn't protest or riot...we can round to 99% and assume some proportion of non-protesters may be sympathetic to the protesters' rantings and ravings....but that's not "every nonwhite group on the planet..."
Let's consider the reverse....there is some fraction of whites who are the American Renaissance equivalent of the rioters. The left claims that "every white group on the planet came by and sucker punched us from behind, called us black devils" etc. We get (rightly) peeved when this happens.
So, explain to me why it is OK to call out Brian Williams-like math-challenged leftist stereotypes, but this Epsilon-Minus Semi-Moron "straight up cracker" gets a cheery two thumbs up?
A friend of mine says he did not feel racist in his attitudes until after years of Obama’s hate for us and white people spewed at us day after day. His (and his racist wife’s) daily invectives against white people, this country and its founders. Their non stop encouragement of this same attitude among blacks.
Obama and the Democrats have set back racial relations in this country by 50 years, at the least.
