That it is self-centered for a person to not want to have uncomfortable conversations or get screamed at by a liberal bully. If you start crying because they’re guilt-tripping you or bullying you, that’s “white tears” and considered white supremacy, too.

The ONLY acceptable option is to passively accept your abuse by your moral superiors and tear yourself down, as a morally inferior white thing. After all, making them have to yell at you is racist oppression, emotional labor.

Liberal elitists intentionally invent and redefine words so they can “prove” their superiority through in-group language.

Is that Diana Ross’ adult daughter? The one on that cable comedy show? “Black-ish”.

“Reverse racism”

No such thing.

White centering is putting your feelings as a white person above the Black and POC causes you’re supposed to be helping. Layla F. Saad explains in Me and White Supremacy, “White centering is the centering of white people, white values, white norms and white feelings over everything and everyone else.” White centering can manifest as anything ranging from tone policing and white fragility to white exceptionalism and outright violence.

Correct.

Racism is racism is racism is racism.

Liberals are racist to claim being white means a person is a racist and should work on it.

My first thought: Buy their art, if it’s any good.

Right! In the Ottawa museum of art, there was a GIANT baby head. Supposed to be world-changing.

We (hubby and our daughter and son) went to see it and laughed.

Right on par with a white (or black) piece of canvas.
