HuffPo Writer: White People at Fault for Racism in US
The Social Memo ^ | 6/25/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/25/2015 4:24:39 PM PDT by rightistight

White people are at fault for racism in the United States, according to Kim Simon, a contributor to the Huffington Post.

In an article titled, "The Problem with White America," Simon details the problems that white people have caused in the United States when it comes to race.

Ms. Simon begins her article by telling "white people" to stop sending condolences to the families of the people killed in Charleston. "Stop it," she writes. "Stop with the empty condolences. It isn't enough. What we're doing isn't enough."

She then challenges whites, asking (emphasis hers), "Think racism has nothing to do with you? Racism is because of you. It's because of us."

White people are ignorant, Simon continues, explaining, "Racism and white supremacy exist because white people do nothing to stop it. Ask the person sitting next to you to tell you the history of the confederate flag. I bet they can't."

Ms. Simon should move to a predominantly African-American part of town and practice what she preaches. My $$ says she lives in some gentrified urban enclave and thinks she is tolerant because she occasionally eats at ethnic restaurants.

More accurately, liberal white people who destroyed the black family with liberal welfare policies.

>> “Stop with the empty condolences. It isn’t enough. What we’re doing isn’t enough.”

It’s never enough. Just stop trying.

So far this year, 53 of the 55 murders in St Louis were committed by blacks.

50% of all cops murdered in 2015 were murdered by blacks.

Blacks are responsible for 52% of all murders and 31% of rapes yet make up only 13% of the US population.

Take out females its 7%.

Take out kids and elderly, its less than 5% of the population doing 52% of all murders, 31% of all rapes, and 50% of all cop killings.

Before you call me racist, please feel free to tell me which fact I was incorrect on.

Talk to your children. Tell them the truth.

Are we allowed to tell them that George Zimmerman didn't stalk and execute an innocent little 12 year old black boy who was just walking home from the store? Are we allowed to tell them that Michael Brown wasn't shot in the back, and that all the evidence says he wasn't standing with his hands in the air trying to surrender?

I'm tired of being lectured about "truth" by people pushing false narratives.

Then kill yourselves, you white guilt ridden bastards. You berate your own race you NEVER live in urban areas abd do NOT have non-white friends.

I know. All whites, even the libtards, congregate amongst themselves. They know they’re the minority now.,

This idiot sounds like my lib minister sounded on Sunday. According to my minister white society is racist, and we(out lily white congregation) all have white privilege. I’m fine that she said it as we have freedom of speech in this country, but since my “white privilege” is what pays her salary, I just won’t give her any of my money. See what she has to say when the collection plate is empty.

I saw a placard on Facebook of PigPen and Charlie Brown. PigPen says ‘Racism sucks!’ and Charlie Brown's response is “Being unjustly accused of racism sucks, too’. I like that......it is certainly true.

HuffPost - a waste of bits in the digital age. Ms Simon is the Pseudonym of an untrained monkey hitting a keyboard.

Kim probably has a section 8 family moving in with her next week, just to show an example of walking the walk

The GOPe does not help things by jumping reflexively on the Confederate flag ban bandwagon.

Progressives and the media will likely start asking GOP pols why it takes a mass murder to take action. They will not have a good answer and thus extend the media cycle some more.
