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.

This is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. FaceBook brown shirts as deputised thought police.

These are women who are probably impossible to get along with in real life, and who not even a desperate man would sleep with. Thus, they turn to Facebook trolling.

Good grief....now, I need to wash my eyes out.

I wish I could find that "Lesbians: The Fantasy - The Reality" meme.

8chan is for people who find 4chan too PC.

Hahahahahahaha...we leave it to YOU, dear reader, to determine which of the approaches above is the domain of the Left, and which is the domain of the Right!

The election was thirteen months ago.
