College Presidents Say Race Relations Are Just Fine (Students, Not So Much)

[InfinityMan]

Second, how does Party’s husband discern that when this happens to him, it is due to racism instead of just plain rudeness?

When it happens to him multiple times.

Party’s remark about worrying about your kids also struck me as odd. Show me parents of ANY race who don’t worry when their kids go out at night.

Do tell me about the white kids who get routinely shot by the police for the most ridiculous reasons. In fact, if I remember correctly, it’s them that do the shooting. Not being racist here, just stating “facts”.

Trying to keep your kids from being falsely accused of shoplifting is good parenting for all races…

Indeed. Doubly so when you’re kids have a statistically higher chance of being accused because of their skin color.

But we’re at the point where we can’t find a real racist incident, so we have to invent one as in Albany; where micro-aggressions are inflated because macro ones are in short supply; where accepting another’s culture is deemed offensive appropriation; where there isn’t actual subjugation but white people simply had a head start (white privilege); UCB linked an article that said something like “well, people aren’t performing racist acts, but they are THINKING about them” (mental racism).

This is akin to saying that one girl falsely crying “rape” shows that there are in fact, a lot less rapes than reported, because of this ** one** fabricated incident.

@moooop Have you by any chance read @SlackerMomMD 's post? I suggest you do so again.

You may not be aware of it, but you really can have no idea of the racism black people face everyday unless you’re black. Saying you do would be like me trying to downplay the effects of PMS when I never had a Period in my life. So you might not mean to be trivializing, but you ultimately are.
