You might if you lived in Portland. You see there is 1-white, and there is the progressive 2-"whiteness".

1-Just normal people who lack much pigment. Can be OK or can be dicks, just like anybody else.

2-People who lack much pigment but suffer the simultaneous conditions of self loathing, arrogance, entitlement, anger and condescension.

Dont get it? Never mind that's ok. It's a white thing.

These are mostly guilt ridden whites and they pay blacks and browns to berate them and tell them how racist and guilty they are for being born with less pigment....this should be studied as to why they do this.

One of the things that I disliked and saw its growth in the past 5 years is the race grevienace industry in which white liberals cringly worship and bow down to illogical black thought leaders, this also goes for feminism and gender aswell. However people have a right to share ideas, and follow it as such just as long as such ideas don't pose a threat to one's life or livelihood. If white liberals want people of color ot have thier own safe space during the time of Covid. White liberals and black thought leaders but put in place black brown, (except Nigerian & West Indian) and indigenous doctors for treatments, and dare better not use Asian and Hispanic health practioners either. Also put in black, brown and indigenous grocers, and anything else in which that can help serve such community.

Yes black brown and Native Americans suffer from Covid more than any other group, but other groups are also dying at a large rate too. Did White Supremacy infect marginalized people with the virus? No. China and Italy did. However, black/brown and Native Americans suffer from high rates of diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure due to poverty either by thier own choices, or due to years of Jim crow, slavery, red lining, white supremacy, colonization, male patriarchy, capitalism and the list goes on.

I don't think seperating people by race is the best option. During times like this, people must come together and we must do our very best for everyone regardless of moral position and political belief. Yes United States has historic issues of black and Native Americans which is horrible to today's moral standard. If white liberals andblack thought leaders want black brown an indeginous folks to be in their own separate spaces during covid pandemic. Than white liberals and black thought leaders must be responsible for any increased deaths during the separate safe space isolation movement.

Thats my two cents.

In agreement here. However if deaths increase under teh watch of Multnonmah equity and inclusion team. They must be held responsible for thier actions.

The problem is what would happen if the town or any group created a whites only place. We all know that it wouldn't fly. So why should this be allowed?

Black people contract and die from the coronavirus at a rate greater than that of white people. So, statistically speaking, Portland's white people stand to benefit from being separated from black people. (I'll bet some woke liberal heads will explode if they ever think about it in these terms.)

Given that the Japanese aren't afflicted with this racial-guilt stupidity, the "safe space" they'll provide for you is a seat on a plane departing from Japan.
