Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

72. Overall sad, but also encouraging.

Great article. We need to hear more about people of colors' experience in our racist society.

Though I agree with his main points and especially agree that white people need to look at themselves and work to end their racism, was anyone else encouraged that *half* of Trump supporters and *two thirds* of Clinton supporters got through a bias quiz? Those people are demographically old and white as hell!

That has to be an all-time high for racial tolerance from old white people in this country's history! Yes, there should be zero bias concerning skin color, but seeing a plurality of old white people finally understanding racism has no place in this country felt at least a little good to me. I'd also doubt that the women with the "Coexist" and "I'm With Her" stickers were the primary ones calling the police because they saw a black person. In my neighborhood it's the right-wing white people who do that.

That said, I agree that white people treat POC terribly and are largely in denial about what goes on in this country and their own biases: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3071957/It-s-not-illegal-black-Cops-complain-online-white-people-getting-freaked-black-neighbors-wasting-police-time-911-calls.html
