In reply to the discussion: Liberal Racism: 25 Things I Learned After I Wrote About ISIS and White Racism at the Daily Kos [View all]uppityperson
(115,677 posts)However, that sort of fear rarely stops me so here you go.
There are a lot of truths there, but also some that I disagree with.
"1. White people are very sensitive. Many of them get very upset and angry when you tell the truth about racism, white supremacy, or white privilege. Never speak plainly and directly to liberal racists. They may wilt. "
I refuse to be placed in a category of being "very sensitive" because of the color of my skin. I am glad that the author mostly uses "liberal racists" as that is another matter.
Not going to go number by number, because there are indeed truths there and too many are not aware of their own prejudgments, which we all have, and too many bad things have been done to other people, overtly and covertly in the past and continue in the present.
Finally, I apologize for not knowing the background of all this on DU, have not been reading here much recently and am sorry if I am missing, which I know I must be, the background here.
