“But I wonder if you saw me walking down the street, how would you see me?”

First, all those people marching in St. Louis (past the Whole Foods) against police violence were white, so we understand you. Second, the article is not about you. Why does it always have to be about you?

Hi there. White person to white person.

Lotsa people gonna give hot takes on your question, so i’ll give you a measured one as a fellow white person that frequents this blog. This space is for people of color to discuss the issues that they face. It’s not about us, so approach it as if you were a tourist. The sentiment might seem off-putting at first, but…

You’ve just posted about 8 times, probably 500 words. Why would I need to talk to you further to ask what you really meant? Was your meaning not plain in the first post?

Becky, Becky, Becky. No no no.

You can start by not making this about you.

Hi, I’m also a white lady. It’s no one’s responsibility, in these incredibly difficult and important times, to “take time” and tell you, an incredibly privileged person, how you are seen by people of color. You do not get extra credit for doing what we should all already be doing.

I’m going to call bullshit on you attending protests and supporting anti-racist causes, or you wouldn’t post such an obnoxious Racism 101 question on a site like this.

Get that bullshit out of here. Devotion to god? Really? Which one? The one obscured by white imperialism and put into a multi-edited version of the Bible? The one forced upon people of color in attempts to colonize? Go fuck yourself with this racist tripe. That good ol cleaning lady is a victim. The threat of white…

I’ll only address one point, because it renders the rest useless: not supporting, and publicly calling out, Israel’s stupid policy of settlements does not equal animosity towards Jews any more than having a Jewish son-in-law absolves one from having white nationalist anti-Semitic advisors and hangers-on.

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

Most trump voters are upper middle class and colleges educated. This isn’t about dumb poor whites - it’s about hateful suburban ones. That’s who it’s always been about, from the day MLK said he feared the white moderate.

You’d probably be stunned to see the number of social media posts by college educated, accomplished, affluent suburban whites I know who are posting how Trump is going to snatch the country back from the edge of the crisis created by divisive, incompetent Obama.
