NOTHING!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING!!!!!!!! That's the point. If you recognize your privilege, call out racists for being racist, are aware of inequality then you have accomplished your mission. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Don't get offended when POC don't automatically see you as non-racist or as an ally. Don't get offended when POC say negative things about White people. They're not actually talking about you. You're doing about the only things you can do.

You hit the nail on the head. And thank you.

Spambot9000...your post is dead on and I have a hard time believing you are a SpamBot at all :)

Dear White Liberals on this thread, No one hates you and no one wants you to die. This has been a tough day to be on the Internet. Martha's right: posting comments is easy and self congratulatory. on today—on this shitty day—lets do something marginally (marginally!) harder: let's not get all hurt over some Internet…

You are complicit in the system that oppresses non-White people just by being White. It doesn't matter if you haven't personally oppressed someone.

You're joking, right? About libertarians not passing judgments on people based on color?

I am so motherfucking sick of seeing white people on here pissing and moaning about how "not all white people are like that, you hurt my feelings, whahh whahh." Just stop. Stop whining. Stop tone policing. This is not about your feelings.

Shut up. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. I am so motherfucking sick of seeing white people on here pissing and moaning about how "not all white people are like that, you hurt my feelings, whahh whahh." Just stop. Stop whining. Stop tone policing. This is not about your feelings. This is about how the justice system lets black…

You aren't doing better than the people who came before you. That's the point. You are complicit in the system that oppresses non-White people just by being White. It doesn't matter if you haven't personally oppressed someone. You have all of those advantages because of the people who came before you. White people are…

I've tried to suggest that this "circle jerk" (to borrow your apt term) over this case and this decision is a meaningless piling-on of people pointing at people they don't like and going "look at how raaaacist they are! At least we aren't like that, right guys?!" It's all to prove one's "not-racist" credentials by…

Thank you for this; I felt this was logically outlined and agree that when people need to convince others that they are not (fill in the blank) then their motives are definitely suspect. America's judicial policies are certainly racist and America as a whole entity has a serious issue with race. These things need…

I'll try and use myself as an example so you can hopefully understand it better. I am from Jamaica. I was born there. Jamaica has a huge problem, a massive problem, with homophobia. Personally, I am the opposite of homophobic, but I am painfully aware of the fact that my home country has issues with gay rights.

"How exactly are you any better? You pretty much just decided that all white people are the worst and if that isn't racist as fuck, I don't know what is."

One of the most interesting bits I saw was a man in a hoodie talking about how he wasn't Trayvon Martin because he was one caught by the neighborhood watch in a hoodie burning a pile of newspapers (you know committing a crime) and was just taken back to his parents for a stern talking to.

I feel like the Supreme Court was given a pass here on the VRA thing because of the DOMA/Prop 8 thing. People were just too happy over the DOMA/Prop 8 thing to care about the VRA thing.

Well I'm not going to try to speak for Martha_Jones21, but I share similar sentiments. The issue is that "good liberal white people" (which primarily inhabit this site) have turned this case into into some kind of feel good circle jerk; where they just sit around and comment on how the justice system is "sooo racist"…

Oh for fuck's sake. What Martha said above is true but your attempt to squeeze in your libertarian shit is just vile. White society in America is racist at its core. It doesn't change if it is left or right.

The response of the Gawker mediaverse to the VRA decision was weak. Very weak. Yeah, DOMA was good, but the VRA was sickening and next to nothing was said.

Thank you for injecting this bit of reality on here. And don't even get me started on how so many ignorant white people were going around in hoodies and saying "I am Trayvon Martin"
