There doesn't seem to be anything I, as a third-generation Danish-American with skin about as white as this text box, can do to not be racist or considered racist. I'm racist because I exist. I'm racist because of my DNA, because whiteness is inherently evil. I'm racist because I've benefited from all this white privilege. I don't hate white people thus I'm a white supremacist. I don't go around constantly checking and apologizing for my white privelege therefore I'm a terrible ally. By my mere existence as a white person I'm oppressing all non-white people. People can't be racist against me or my genes / ethnicity because racism is by definition a structural system we're all trapped in that benefits white people at the expense of all non-white people. There's no place for my kind in a diverse future, and Yes, Diversity Is About Getting Rid Of White People. OH, and don't let me forget that even talking about this is WHITE FRAGILITY and white tears...
And you hear this over and over and over and over again, and you start to realize... there's nothing I can do (other than just be what I want to see in the world, what I think is right)... there's nothing I could say, no way I could act that would be true to who I am that would be accepted by some of these people... and you're right about the tribalism, because at a certain point I just have to say "so be it." Okay, you (BLM, SJWs, Regressive Left) keep maintaining I'm racist by birth, so OKAY, I'M RACIST, you win -- I'm white and we're all racists no matter what and perhaps we racists should stick together since we're all lumped together anyway...
Sad but becoming true. White and black regressives calling everyone racist also have no qualms about spewing hate about systemic racism TOWARD BLACK PEOPLE TOO. My GF/ex-GF's niece, who started college this fall, is becoming one of those people. There's no 'free to be you and me' / embracing our differences as individuals / loving or at least respecting everyone to be found here...
You nailed it !!!
The problem with trying to attack an army or a people you can't wipe out is leaving them a path to escape. If there is no path they will fight to the death or surrender. That was the mistake the racist left made. Surrender gains nothing but subjugation. Like the founders of this nation many whites find that unacceptable and would rather die for the right to exist. That may be why so many support Israel. We find ourselves in the same situation.
Don't worry about it. Nothing gets between women and a sale, regardless of who owns the store. And from the spectacle of men lining up to wrestle with each other for that big-screen TV, we can toss them into that category, too.
I'm still shocked people like yourself shop on Black Friday?
*snickers at own clever pun*
