I'm suggesting that we have more in common than uncommon. Yes, there are injustices. Yes, racist ones. No, the solution isn't to simply blame white people and pout. The solution is to run campaigns that actually push policies to help the poor and unfairly benefits the well off. Then actually do it.

No one is blaming white people & pouting. What a helluva lot of people are telling you: It's your responsibility to unlearn what our racist culture taught you b/c white supremacy is baked into us in ways we don't see until we LEARN to recognize it. People here are handing you tools to recognize WS.

I never brought up white supremacy. Fuck white supremacists. Fuck any racist. Judge people off their actions. I never said otherwise. We need to win elections, not just complain about problems. We all understand the problems. We need to solve them.

Do you understand that when you talk about "blacks" instead of Black people, or tell folks what *you* did as an individual, or assert that race is only one issue, your arguments lean on tenets of WS? It's not as visible the KKK - it's what lots of white people like you & me learned as kids.

Look, what do you want from me? It's now white supremacist to say that there are multiple injustices in the world, including racism? I swear social media is the most pointless thing, you can't please nobody.

What do BIPOC want from you? To learn. To practice anti-racism. To talk to other white people about your experience of learning, and to share what you've learned, like I'm doing right now.

Exactly. It's like sexism, which we see starting with genital reveal parties before the fetus is even born! No one is trying to blame people for the dominant culture we're born into -- but once people are grown, staying in that culture and perpetuating it IS a choice, to be accountable for.
