(63,402 posts)The country is going to hell because of ignorant racist white peoples' behavior. And so far, waaaay too many white Democrats don't want to admit that.
In this thread there are several passive aggressive "not me I don't know what you're talking about" responses, as if the OP is at fault for pointing out the white elephant in the room.
It's not that any "race" (which is a made-up concept - made up by white slave owners who wanted to justify slavery) is inherently good or bad. The problem is that there is currently a group of people in the U.S. who self-identify as a race ("white people) and are running around being as hateful as possible in every imaginable way. The mythology and beliefs that they have created and perpetuate endanger us all.
Anyone with any power who disagrees with them needs to stand up and speak out against this. Every day. Everywhere. Including but not limited to here.
I'm an older white woman. I don't need to keep saying "not me." I need to find ways to fight these people who are "not me." The first step is admitting that the problem exists.
