But there’s ma racism everywhere!

If white people move out it’s white flight. Racism.

If white people move in it’s gentrification. Racism.

If white people see color they’re not color blind. Racism.

If white people don’t see color it’s ignoring racism.

Racism. If white people don’t partake in culture they’re non-inclusive. Racism.

If white people engage in culture it’s cultural appropriation. Racism.

Perfect.

Ditto. Most “news articles” are garbage today.

This article tells us nothing, and then it jumps to a conclusion and preaches at the end.

The last paragraph of the garbage "article".

"Trump-supporting parents are raising their children in hateful households, then sending them off to school with kids they were taught to disrespect. Let’s say it once again, for the umpteenth time, for the people in the back: Racism is taught. Oklahoma banned critical race theory so it’s very unlikely that students will learn in school what they’re deprived of at home.

We can only do so much typing and complaining. These kids are going to have to fight their own fight.

“Sand Springs Public Schools Superintendent Sherry Durkee said ... she has no idea what the student’s intended purpose was in distributing the cards.”

If she can’t figure that out, then she has no business being a school administrator.

I bet if white students were handing out “The Race Card: Don’t Leave the Ghetto Without It” to black students, she wouldn’t have any trouble discerning what the intent was.

Just what is a BIPOC? Whatever happened the five Ws of journalism: who, what, when, why and where? To be fair, even conservative leaning writers produce poor articles. Another post on AFR today recalled the William Buckley-Gore Vidal feud. Whatever you may think of either man, both wrote well and were understandable.

Who knows. They might even wonder why they “feel” that way. Could they be persuaded by critical thought like below? Nah.

I wish I didn’t agree with you, but I do. Some people want to see racism no matter what others do. It’s unfortunate that this is where we are these days. Martin Luther King, Jr. had so little impact on today’s world. Sad.

Well, the story gets an F for comprehension, but an A for getting the whole chicken house cackling about it.

I had to search to find out what "BIPOC" meant. And then the story still made no sense. Who handed out the cards? To whom were the cards given? Why? I found another article that said the cards were created by a black man and sold on Amazon. So, then why are nonwhite students protesting?

And finally, are news writers today really incapable of writing well? Or, are they hired to mislead readers by dumbing down their writing? Maybe the answer is yes to both those questions.
