"But arguing about personal non-racism is missing the point. Despite what the Charleston Massacre makes things look like, people are dying not because individuals are racist, but because individuals are helping support a racist system by wanting to protect their own non-racist self beliefs. People are dying because we are supporting a racist system that justifies White people killing Black people."
Enough. Black people are not systemically targeted or killed by white people in this country for violence. There is no #blackgenocide, and there is no epidemic of white-on-black crime, of white men raping or causing violence to women of color, or whatever the issue du jour on black twitter is.
So over this meme. So over this narrative that is so demonstrably UNTRUE, and in fact, fails to live up to scrutiny.

Reason: watch your language
but race is an adjective that describes a group of people, the cause is not the race itself but the group of people in the race, they all have one thing in common and it is not race. the adjective is to describe the race.
some people think the problem is race "A" but no, its the people in race "A" if the people in the race change the cathartic then race "A" would be a positive. Its all statistic. what are the people in race "A" doing to give a negative outlook to the adjective that describes group "A"

Reason: edited quoted post
What does the word "racist" mean in the quote? Is there a distinction between beneficiaries, apologists, and champions of a racist system? What change do we wish to bring about by addressing ourselves to racism in this manner?
Assuming that the proper placement of importance is critical, what would the proper placement of importance look like? What would it mean to be non-complicit?
What would it mean to not protect self beliefs? What would it mean to not support a racist system?
What would it mean to not "let 'systematic challenge' happen"?

Reason: discussing moderation
Racism is so deeply embedded in this country not because of the racist right-wing radicals who practice it openly, it exists because of the silence and hurt feelings of liberal America.
As a white, somewhat liberal American, I have to admit that I benefit from White Privelege, while at the same time would deny being personally racist.
In other words, you think you can have your cake and eat it, too.
All white liberals think that.
I guess you don't understand that the Left sees having white privilege as being the same thing as being racist.
You'll learn, eventually.
Or rather, your grandchildren will learn in the final stages (the Final Solution) of the already existing War on White People.

This sounds like nonsense spouted by liberal/left wing professors who are uneducated but nevertheless obtain positions in our liberal/left-wing universities.
So basically, if you are of African origin and have no history in this country, then you're not "black," right? Good. Make sure that if someone in that category corrects you and tell you to call them by their ethnic group (Dominican, Nigerian etc), that you do that.
