Last week, model Munroe Bergdorf hit headlines when a statement shed posted on social media following the protests in Charlottesville allegedly calling all white people racist was leaked to the Daily Mail. Since then, Bergdorf has received rape threats and death threats, been accused of playing the victim, and been sacked from a LOréal campaign that, ironically, celebrates diversity.
For the record, Im white. I dont hate other white people. Lots of my friends are white. Yet the statement all white people are racist doesnt make me angry. It makes me sad, because I believe its probably true.
...We live in a society that is built on the spoils of racism, and that continues to benefit from inequality in all its forms. Or, as Bergdorf put it: Slavery and colonialism, at the hands of white supremacy, played a huge part in shaping the United Kingdom and much of the west, into the superpower that it is today.
Why does that make me a racist?! I hear you ask. It comes down to this: in western society we are all taught (explicitly or implicitly) that lighter is better. Those racist narratives are particularly prevalent in the US, but youre kidding yourself if you think we Britons dont suffer from the same prejudice. Take, for example, the stereotypical portrayals of black people in the media.

For the record, I’m human. You can categorize people as black/white/brown if you want, but then you’re liberal and insane. I don’t see people as black/white/brown. Liberals have created artificial categories and put people into them, and given them characteristics based on the categories, not on their actions. So f*ck you, and all you dividers.
She must be projecting. Nothing else makes sense. Because she has white skin and is racist then everyone with white skin must also be racist. I mean, can anybody really be that daft, narrow minded and egocentric though?
Man-hands, and man-DNA.
Actually, it makes you (the writer, not poster) racist.
How less racist is it to say than, for example, "All black people are lazy."? Or "All Oriental men are less 'endowed'."?
She doesn't know "ALL" white people, so it's just an ignorant statement.
It has been around for a long time. Look into Malcolm X for one example.
Another doped up queer.
If they're not careful, a lot of white people will decide "OK, so I'm racist. There is nothing I can do which will satisfy black people, so I might as well give my loyalty primarily to my own kind. Just like so many of those of other races and ethnicities do".
THEN what?
I *AM* part of the solution. I believe ALL lives matter.
However, the overlords tell me that by so uttering, I am a racist.
Fine, then I am proudly one — because I believe in racial equality.
Honestly, that is everyone’s fear.
If not matter what you do, the elite will label you the bad guy, why not be the BAD GUY.
They are giving top cover to real Nazi’s. I almost think that is the plan.
If this is true, and the writer is not just looking for his ten minutes of fame, then two things spring to mind. One, he's an idiot. Two, he most certainly is a racist.
In other words, this guy right here, he is part of the problem. If I said I believed any of the following were probably true: all Hispanics are lazy, all blacks are criminals, all Hebrews are misers, all Irish are drunks, all Poles are stupid, all Arabs are terrorists... There would be little doubt that such statements were un-founded, prejudiced, and racist. But this ass-hat says "all white people are ..." and no-doubt does not see the innacuraccy, prejudice, and racism in his own thoughts. He no-doubt thinks he's insightful and helping... SMH...
Are you calling me an oak?
That’s rayciss.
For the record, I am a laminate.
Go flagellate yourself.
I have a Viet/Chinese friend.
He has a cousin by marriage who was an Aryan racist skinhead.
That is, in prison he was forced to band together with other co-ethnics to avoid being harmed, and when he got out he married an Asian chick.
He’s scary as hell. He has the tats.
Anyway, I get a kick out of that. Maybe it’s a Texas thing, bit no one really pays it any mind.
Racists see races... most people see one race, the human race, filled with ethnicities making great experiences.
You’re right. But obama put kill white people movement into mega warp drive. He ushered in the era of dont-feel-guilty-because-you-hate-white-folks. It’s now socially acceptable to want whites and conservatives dead.
It’s more a case of all Leftists being Racists.. They are always projecting.
Communists and Nazis are both in favor of a large, totalitarian State. The real enemy of both the Left and the Nazis are small government conservatives.
See the Hayek quote on my profile page for an early (1944) very astute observation on this.

Rape is a sexual crime. If the person just wants to get off on power, they’ll threaten blows, death, not rape.
If you’re inflicting emotional pain, a threat of rape will do it regardless of gender.
