Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

208. Well, quite frankly, it does need to be discussed.

Personally, I believe every white person in the U.S. carries at least some residual racist or prejudiced attitudes. And I certainly don't claim to be the exception to that rule.

One way my "baggage" sometimes manifests itself is when I pull my punches and don't say what I really think in situations like this. It's easier to just let things go than to engage and risk being accused of being racially insensitive. But doing that would be ... I don't know ... kind of patronizing in a way?

But I think the farmer (not the OP) had a right-wing agenda with his post. And I'm not going to refrain from criticizing that just because he's black and I'm not.

There is a time and place to focus on the problems in our own house. I think it should be framed more in terms of "even" the most liberal people still have some problems to work through. But we need to keep the differences between the two parties in perspective.

Both sides are not the same.
