Tears again. As a white person do I get to be an expert on when someone is racist against whites? Because I absolve Michael Harriot of such nonsensical claims. He speaks truth to power!

White Jesus would be climbin’ off the cross, “Oh hell, no. Father forgive me, but I ain’t dying for this bitch...”
