I always thought that black men who are obsessed with light-skin women are just covering for what they really want; either a white or just non-black woman.

Three paragraphs to open with and declare you aren’t a racist makes me think there’s more introspection needed on her part. If my fellow white folks can’t read something on the Root and go “well, they aren’t talking about me”, then the flip side needs to be “what part of my thinking needs a closer look.”

I am not a racist... I don’t know any racist. Most white people that I talk to ( and I like to talk about issues with people) are not racist and actually really want to understand how to get rid of racism ... what would happen if someone were to write a controversial article from a “white persons” point of view... Not…

What I love...absolutely LOVE about this argument & about this article is the classic theme whenever White people want to air out their grievances:

Why don’t they ever come up with a fake white person to scapegoat? Doesn’t it make more sense to give a description of a person the police won’t actually look for?

“I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers.

No protest is ever acceptable to the establishment. Quiet, dignified protests like Kaep’s are unacceptable. Marches are unacceptable. Protest songs are unacceptable. If it’s black folks protesting some form of disenfranchisement, it is NEVER ACCEPTABLE. That’s basically the long and short of it.

Why are you so adamant to defend this “joke”?

“Can I take a look at your club?”

To be fair, he isn’t really a white supremacist. Sure he does and says a lot of the same things that WS do, but

I always laugh at this. White people really believe that because they haven’t been listening to us, we haven’t been listening to them. When the truth is we’ve been listening to them under threat of death now for 300 years and running.

I think these young white women are such a bad influence for internet rappers.

“Changes have already been made in procedure to assure nothing like this will ever occur in the future.”

I’m not sure how many times we have to repeat that this kind of shit is not funny

It’s like there’s a direct correlation between white success and casual bigotry - because as far as I know, he wasn’t known for spouting this anti-semetic and racist shit when he first hit the scene. His success emboldened him. His toxic audience’s filth made him feel like he could do the same thing (he basically said…

Now white people will use this video into perpetuity to show that police officers don’t always kill black people. “See! He yelled at officers and nothing happened!!!”

The end game is equality and justice. Thats all. Talk of things like unity and mutual respect is white nonsense pushed by people trying to silence black voices. I don’t need respect. And I don’t give a shit if white people don’t respect me. I need police to stop oppressing black people. I need justice for slain black…

See, I think the typical GOP’er should spend a little less time policing our language and a little more time distancing themselves from fucking nazis.

1) Colin Kaepernick never “ran his mouth”. He never said anything. He sat down in protest of police violence.
