Campus Reform ^ | June 20, 2017 | Jacob Grandstaff

“If you’re white, you’re probably racist,” an editor for the University of Alabama’s student newspaper told her classmates in a recent op-ed.

Writing last week for The Crimson White, Opinions Editor Marissa Cornelius begins by listing various “internalized racist beliefs” she considers common to white students, such as “being scared of the Walmart on Skyland Boulevard” or being surprised that a black classmate is “articulate.”

Never in my 64 years have I ever thought once about a Korean’s apartment

Me either. I suppose that makes us both REALLY racist.

Okay let's just assume what you're saying is true. What you going to do about it? Nothing that's what.💃

If you are <racial group>, then you are probably <deragatory designation>

When <deragtory designation> is "racist" it means the speaker is not just a racist, but an idiot with no sense of irony.

Some whites are racist.
Some whites are just realists, not racist.
Some Walmarts should be avoided by whites.
Some articulate blacks really are worthy of notice.
Some brushes are mighty broad.
Some blacks really are just racists.
Some things are just not that important, race is just one of them.
Student, get past yourself!! You’re blocking your own path.

If your black you probably have a low IQ.

If you are Muslim you are probably a terrorist.

If you are Jewish you are probably a doctor or a lawyer.

If you are Italian you are probably in the mafia.

Need I go on illustrating stupidity.

If you’re a student, you’re probably completely clueless about everything that’s real.

(At least these days).

“If you’re white, you’re probably racist,”

Totally the reverse. And take out the probably.

Why is it that so many negroes (and it's not just negroes, it is the lower income culture) seem NOT to be articulate, and yet in ENGLAND, almost all of the negroes speak THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH very well ?

And who is it that speaks with that "cockney" accent over there?

so can we assume project from there that if you’re Muslim, you’re a terrorist, hispanic, you’re an illegal alien, black, a gangbanger, Italian, mafioso, Irish, drunk, etc?

Okay. I’m wrong. Rednecks DON’T have a velvet Elvis painting.

And Orientaks DON’T drive slow. There are lots of other examples where I’m wrong.

If I’m probably racist I want to ask, “Do you believe there is anything I can do to change that?”
I think they have argued themselves into a corner where if I am white I must be racist and it sure does seem natural to agree with them that I must be racist and reply “If I must be racist why do you find it remarkable that I am and why do you holler at me for being what I must be?”

“Editor Marissa Cornelius begins by listing various “internalized racist beliefs” she considers common to white students, such as “being scared of the Walmart on Skyland Boulevard”

I was recently in the Walmart in Broward County Florida at night. The place was crowded and I was one of the few palefaces in there. I got a few looks but as usual people tend to let me be, even in little Mogadishu. I’ll admit it felt a little weird being in such a minority.

There they go again - confusing racism and realism.
