I’ve heard about this - will do!

...if a POC tells you something is a certain way, *especially* if more than one of them tells you it’s that way, believe that person. Believe those people.

TheRoot is the single most important read of my day.

Oh, I did not mean to imply at all that I had not in fact witnessed it from my fellow white people - I absolutely have; nor did I wish to discount it. Just saying it never occurred to me to behave that way, despite being surrounded by it. I damn sure don’t deserve a cookie for it - just making an observation.

Who are these racist busybodies? Never in my entire life as a white man have I felt the need to call the cops on anybody, much less black people who were just going about their business.

These people get stuck in a dynamic of “the enemy (Trump) of my enemy (liberals) is my friend.” Now, they identify with Sanders because…

Yes, I’ve been going back-and-forth with a fellow white person, a woman at that, about this subject: at first, I thought they were trolling. Now, I’m convinced they really think you can sit down with Nazis and come to an understanding, that one-directional respect, politeness, and civility solve issues, and Nazis…
