    Uh huh, and that is your excuse for being okay with racism?

    Because that is what that was, LITERALLY. It’s the classic “it’s only bad if they do it, it’s perfectly fine when we do it” scheme and it’s tiring

    If you want to be against racism, then be against racism. If you want to be able to be racism against white people, because “insert reasons they sound good in your head” then that’s fine, but at least admit you’re just a racist too.

      I’m ok with discriminating against billionaires to the extent that they shouldn’t exist. I don’t believe there should be such disproportionate power. There is a general trend of white men having the most, but it’s not exclusive. I don’t therefore believe white men all disproportionately have more power and discriminate against them. Does that make sense?

      If not, please do explain how anything I’ve said is racist. I’m hoping this was just a misunderstanding and you’re not implying that calling out systemic racism is racist in itself. That would put us in quite the pickle lol
