Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

366. My thoughts..

He makes way too many assumptions. There are racists on both sides.

There really are liberals with hidden racism. But there are liberals who aren't. There are also people who would like to support POC but don't know what they can do. Sure, you can speak up when you see it. You can voice your support, but what else.

Here's where I might have people yell at me. Something I see as a white person is people who assume I'm a racist just because I'm white. As a substitute teacher I have students who are misbehaving and when I say something, they say I'm just picking on them because they are black (or Hispanic, by the way, I'm married to a very dark guy from Honduras. ) I usually point out another student of a similar color who is not misbehaving and say " I don't have a problem with them, and they're the same color as you". POC (some, not all) need to stop assuming that all white people are prejudiced against them or using it to excuse bad behavior. I've also had POC rude to me for no apparent reason. These are usually people on the street or in a store. Perhaps, many white people have done things to them but don't assume I'm going to because others have. Just like POC don't like it when a white woman clutches her purse or crosses the street to avoid them, white people don't like it when they smile and say hello and you frown at them and act rude for no reason or refuse to help with a small favor ( I once had a woman who refused to hand me a little toilet paper when there wasn't any in my stall, I asked if she could hand me a little and put my hand there and she said something like "you should have checked before you went in there, bitch", don't tell me that wasn't racist. )

Sure POC have been mistreated over the years but we all need to learn to treat everyone the way we would like to be treated

All I'm saying is white people, don't assume all POC are up to no good. If you wouldn't call the police on a white person in a similar situation, don't call the police on a POC. If you would stop to help a white person, do the same for a POC.

If you're a POC don't assume all white people evil and act like you hate them.
