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 …

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!

She wasn’t judging you for your race. She was lumping you in w/the dominant culture & explaining that the dominant culture can’t cry racism when racism is about power & who holds it. So if you’re white which you are you cannot be discriminated against. Because you are dominant.
