If you are not listening, not exposing yourself to unfamiliar perspectives, not watching videos, not engaging in conversation, then you are perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy. It is exactly your ability to not hear, to ignore the situation, that is a mark of your privilege. White privilege and white supremacy? You asked me to listen, Julia. You have just slapped an ugly label on me, yet you know me not. And with that...I have heard enough.

Sorry Julia, you’re speaking in that namby-pamby “feelings” language that I just don’t understand. Get back to me when you’ve dried your tears and can communicate logically and objectively.

As a White American, the status quo is working out quite well for me. Why should I work to change things?

Damn, but this woman’s internalized a lot of BS clichés. Her ultimate message is that white people need to shut up on race, and silently agree with whatever propaganda she’s spewing.
Oh well, at least we know that Salon also offers essays from white writers saying yes, I AM racist, and here’s why. (sarc/)

” Hes carrying a rifle on a gun rack. Now even more terrifying. “
Damn! That reminds me that I need to find a gun rack for my 1997 Ford Ranger.
I’d buy a better truck but I’m too busy supporting ‘black dignity’ with the taxes taken out of my meager earnings.

Folks this is the propaganda and indoctrination that is being taught in your collages and universities.

I see arson. I see violence in the streets, I see assaults. I see looting.

Hey Julia,how are those Democrat,Liberal policies working out for you. I'm sure you like the Affirmative Action policy. Maybe you are not as smart and gifted as the college professors told you you are. However,if it acts and steals and riots like a Thug,its a Thug.

Dear Salon,
We are in pain and angry too, and for oh so many reasons . However, we are not burning down our communities. We are venting on Facebook.

How about a view from a "gray" person. I'm Hispanic, I have no genetic or cultural "guilt" about racism. In fact, I have been a "victim" of "racism" several times in my life. My "people" could cry you a river over prejudice, intolerance, what have you.
The view from my seat, where I ain't got no dog in this hunt, is... GROW UP.
There are subcultures in America that refuse to take responsibility for themselves. They throw tantrums when not placated, they commit acts that are counter to the rules that we agree too. They refuse to take care of themselves.
Ultimately, until these subcultures start fixing the attitudes that hold them back, there will NEVER be a resolution to their problems, 95+% of which are self inflicted.

They have faces here. Can us taxpayers have justice now for theft at least?
