      1/This is the root of America’s deepest problem. It robs others of their experience & it ignores history. The idea that “we are fine” and rabble rousers are stirring it up. We are not fine. @SharylAttkisson you're an investigative journalist let’s investigate your theory.https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/1033868041224900608 …

      Turn off computer, news, social media. Get outside the biggest cities. Most ppl r actually just fine. All races, types living/working together with surprisingly little strife. There are people who want us to live in the artificial reality they create/control. Don't fall for it. https://twitter.com/johnaconner/status/1033867240670679041 …

      2/ Let’s start with something that hits close to home for everyone. Student Debt. The American Dream is based around education, but if ppl can’t afford it, how do you advance?http://bit.ly/2BXpTNi

      4/Your tweet mentions "get out the biggest cities." I think you are alluding to race, not sure, if so, I’d say race is an issue all over the country, but let’s go with you idea that outside big cities ppl get along. Here’s a story you might want to read:https://reut.rs/2BWsFlU

      6/ Let me back away from race tho, I’m sure your tweet was for a largely white audience who wants to be assured that things are okay and they can’t really deal with race. So let’s talk about what they can deal with?

      Replying to @Al_Letson @reveal

      Al-- if you see everything as being about race and how "white" people can't deal with it -- which is itself racist -- we probably can't have a real dialog. I don't tend to engage with people who make racial comments.

      That comment wasn't racist. Your first tweet implies that racism doesn't exist because people outside of cities are getting along (allegedly), how can you judge that as a white woman so not the target of racists?

      My tweet said nothing of the sort. You are free to infer what you like but it doesn't make it true. (How can you judge me based on my race? Isn't that what you object to? I sure do.)

          I'm white too, that's why I know why we are not being marginalized for being white and implying that racism is an artificial reality means you're not listening to POC and ignoring their experiences.

          Whatever your color, people shouldn't be judged as a race. That's inappropriate, in my opinion.

          I simply told you, you aren't the target of racists so can't judge whether racism is real or not. Also, when people talk about White America they mean the oppressive system that was build to cater to white people and oppress those who aren't, it doesn't judge you as an individual

          1. You don't know me. 2. You're apparently judging me based solely on my race.

          No, I'm telling you that white people don't face racism, so we shouldn't tell those who experience it that it's not real.

          I don't think it's a good idea to make sweeping generalizations about people because of their race or skin color.

          I only told you that *we* shouldn't tell those who face racism whether we think it's real or not. To you that's a generalization, to me it's common sense since I can't really judge something I don't experience. I'll leave you with this, maybe it'll help.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M&t=3s …

          I'm not part of your "we" unless you are judging me based on my skin color, which I frown upon. But it seems to be how you choose to live. So be it!
