racist

Even the Us's are Them's.

The same people who wear shirts that read __uck your feelings_ and rail against __olitical correctness_ seem to believe that there should be no social consequences for [voting for Trump]. I keep hearing calls for empathy and healing, civility and polite discourse. As if supporting a man who would fill his administration with white nationalists and misogynists is something to simply agree to disagree on.Absolutely not. You don__ get to vote for a person who brags about sexual assault and expect that the women in your life will just shrug their shoulders. You don__ get to play the victim when people unfriend you on Facebook, as if being disliked for supporting a bigot is somehow worse than the suffering that marginalized people will endure under Trump. And you certainly do not get to enjoy a performance by people of color and those in the LGBT community without remark or protest when you enact policies and stoke hatred that put those very people__ lives in danger.Being socially ostracized for supporting Trump is not an infringement of your rights, it__ a reasonable response by those of us who are disgusted, anxious, and afraid. I was recently accused by a writer of __ote shaming_ _ but there__ nothing wrong with being made to feel ashamed for doing something shameful.

You're not under attack when others gain rights and privileges you've always had.

Racism hurts everyone, including racists themselves.

When African slave Phillis Wheatley wrote poetry, 18 men came to assess whether that was possible.

Tolerance of intolerance enables oppression.

A "racist" thinks themselves better than other races. An "elitist" thinks they are better than everyone.

It's not the fact that some people disagree with the protests. That is as much a right as the protests themselves. It is the hateful, profane, condescending way some have expressed their discontent that baffles me. How do you criticize actions you've deemed disrespectful and divisive and an affront to civilized behavior with rhetoric to the same end? That's like the devil judging the Grim Reaper for harvesting souls.

Reducing a group to a slur or stereotype reduces us all.

To those supremacist racists I ask what color will be their bodies when they turn to dust.

I am first of all a white man, and only then a socialist.

Now is not the time for bigots and racists. No time for sexists and homophobes. Now, more than ever, is the time for ARTISTS. It__ time for us to rise above and to create. To show humanity. To spread hope. We must prevent society from destroying itself, from losing its way. Now is the time for love.

Is racial violence is the answer for happened racial violence? Which planet am I? Where are the people who taught me there is no difference? Why?

Racism in impenetrable. Staying in America means always fighting. For our own sanity and safety, we must go.

They made you an Amendment and convinced you it meant 'American.

An institution rooted in slavery cannot be the voice of our people.

America's put American Black Folks in such a bad position, empty plates and glasses now get us full.

It's not 'over-sensitivity' to ask to be treated with the same dignity and respect shown to others.
