These are your white allies on Facebook
CNN ^ | 12/7/2017

When you're exhausted from debating race with strangers, they step in

(CNN)Social media conversations on race typically take one of two routes.

The first, and the one less traveled, leads to a thoughtful, fact-driven exchange of ideas. The second (more popular) route leads to bitter back-and-forth filled with tired stereotypes or racially inflammatory barbs.

November 15th, 2016 When did our tolerance stop be tolerant? When did we stoop to level of name calling our name callers? When did we decide to tell 70 year old people of faith they have no voice? If we represent the tolerance of the world we need to be tolerant. To everyone. Until we let go of our own biases we cannot expect anyone else to do the same. Both sides of this electorate disgusts me. Meditate.

I'm a volunteer for a group called White Nonsense Roundup. Who told 70-year-old people of faith that they had no voice? Nobody has said that. Donald Trump wants to approve to an important position in the Whte House a man who has compared feminism to cancer and whose website has done more to normalize racism in this country than any other website on the Internet. The Southern Poverty Law Ceter has received as many reports of hate crimes against Afrian-Americans, Muslims, members of the LGBTQ community and women since the election as it usually receives in six months. How is that 'both sides of this electorate' being disgusting? Facebook exchange between a user and a White Nonsense volunteer.

But now, when discussion swerves in the second direction, there's a group of white allies prepared to do the rerouting.

It is kinda funny.

60 years of affirmative action. Minority set asides. Minority quotas. Minority only scholarships. Diversity lectures where the white male is always wrong (unless gay). BET. The black caucus. NAACP Etc. Etc. Etc.

It is all about Identity Politics and the democrats trying to hold on to power THRU racism.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

“I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”
— Booker T Washington

And it’s a service Kempton hopes curbs the “exhausting” nature of educating white people from a person of color’s standpoint.

“At the very least, we want to be white people on the record, standing up against racism.”

When these SJW, 'minorites' & race hustlers stop acting like race and 'racism' are a white thing then maybe there is some common ground but otherwise can GF themselves!

"When did our tolerance stop be tolerant?"

I learned "tolerance" from the left: In order to make an omelette, you've got to crack some eggs.

Sheesh, was this written by a second grader? It’s terrible! The number of grammatical errors in the first several sentences alone, plus the fact that this appears to be a CNN piece, make this article unworthy of finishing.

Good try, CNN writer; talk to me again when you graduate from high school, dear.

I learned tolerance from the Left.

That means your opinion doesn't matter, and you will sit down shut up and listen to me tell you how stupid you are, then you will give me all the money you have and all the money you can borrow on your credit cards. I will still hate you and think you're stupid, but you'll feel better because you've done your part to promote "equality".

FAKE hate crimes perpetrated by the same race/sex/alternative-lifestyle as the supposed “victims”.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

SJW’s are very much like people who identify as “witches”: They are generally lonely, ugly people who feel incredibly powerless.
By defining themselves as something larger than life, they are able to function in the world.
